[It had started. If the strange electric feeling in the air hadn't clued him in, the fact that Dark Convoy had found him and talked with him would have cemented it. It had also given him an idea.]

Brothers...sister. Be ready. The time is soon.

To all those lacking Glyphs, I extend an invitation to you.

When the dark touch of chaos touches your minds, come find me. I may not be able to cure you of your ills, but at least in studying your descent I may find the tools to understand it.

[He has no more to say, and so he waits to see if there are any takers.]

Why now is there an invitation, yet they were ignored before?

[maxicpolarity]

Offering to experiment on those who stubbornly refuse to admit they have a problem tends to end in...accusations.

You've seen the reactions, even now.

[thehardway]

I'm certain waiting until the last moment possible is not particularly helpful.

The option I was given was to only kill them. You might be able to understand why I had to refuse.

[maxicpolarity]

Would you have believed me sooner?

Would you not have tried every other option to help them?

This is a last recourse. Surely you see the logic in that.

[thehardway]

I already made the offer to have scientists observe those unmarked, just to be safe. You cannot accuse me of "what-ifs" if the transgression has not passed; that is not logical in itself.

The logic I see is that they are viewed as unwanted pests. Perhaps we who are marked are not so different.

[maxicpolarity]

The transgression has passed.

[He frowns.] I have been through this before. You have not. You do not know what is yet coming.

...

[He's not looking forward to it, himself. However, he sighs.]

This is an invitation, only. An invitation, and a warning. Do with it what you will, but it is the kindest fate which I can offer.
