Generation Legacy the Next Generation of OOC

I'm pretty sure that the ex Legacy characters' actions are not terrorism, despite the increasing tendency to use it for anything. There are no attacks or threats of attacks against civilians or non combatants - and so far no attacks on military combatants either. No political or ideological motivation unless you really stretch "try to save my friend."

Pretty much the only terrorist connection is Bishop's involvement. But he's worked with the characters in past during emergencies with no resulting sanction or reprimand. Mark and Anika haven't yet shared the change in his official status in the eyes of the UNJE. His confinement was very light (of course, SARAH surveillance would give the UN lots of flexibility in keeping a watchful eye on him). With much of the Institute destroyed or heavily damaged (presumeably along with guardian STARs), UN teams busy throughout globe doing disaster relief or attacking Pantheon places, and many of the combat trained elites at the institute deserting, there's (probably) not much of a reserve at the moment to back up that surveillance, however. So leaving him behind isn't particularly secure either.

I'd say that they're more like protesters who might be getting ready to storm the police barricade. :) Even the connection to a more dangerous and radical element isn't out of line.

Their actions are more akin to desertion and possibly defection by freeing Bishop.

Now Cassie injecting James with a virus that is designed to kill baselines... Luckily she can claim ignorance on that regard.

Terrorism is at a risk of becoming a very convenient excuse for governments these days.

I was trying to put into context that I do not believe they are acting in a way that would portray them as terrorists nor is the UNJE pushing that. They are looking at it from the angle of they gave you a task and you said up yours and went and did your own thing.

Idealy Cassie would try to find the 'middle' path, the way that both humans and elites can coexits (yeah she's an idealist, but she's burning out..and becoming rapidly bitter at the lack of empathy/understanding/cooperation between sides)
 

Strangely enough elites have never really had a weak position in the general populace. But then again the main conflict or argument for Pantheon was the exploitation of elites more so then them being feared.

That and elite superiority lol.
 

Cassie always struck me a highly pro-elite, albeit a non militant one. A middle path would involve actual concessions, instead of a self regulation plan/hope.

This is true. Hasn't Bishop, Cardinal and Overseer done what they believe is right? The only truly 'evil' villains are the ones from the other universe, like Red Witch, who's just a greedy, power hungry beeotch.
