Ninth Manifesto

[proudambassador]

My roof is leaking. But, but! This time, I still have a roof, yes? The last time, it left. And I was stuck facing a creature I would rather not see again. This time, there is water dripping down when I least expect it, wherever it feels I would least enjoy it, but the creatures are outside, and this is a very good change.

I hope the casino is still there. But I am not going out there to check. If Vir were here, he would. He runs faster, and when such monstrosities are going around, prowling through our streets, it is better to send the faster Centauri, no? The younger, more spry one. Also, he is resourceful. Abrahamo Lincolni, I ask you...

But I have 'potato chips,' which are edible, more or less, and canned mushy green round things. There was no label on the can. I suspect it was unlabeled since people would not eat them if they were warned of what the can contained. But once it is opened and you are hungry, then you are stuck, no? Humans are often like that.

I suppose it is time to go back to making sure the drips do not put out my little fire, yes? I would not like to see that go out.

That is a shame. Unfortunately, there are beings like that as well. It is then that the greater good must prevail.

This is precisely what I keep saying. But no, the humans and Minbari are convinced that there must be some redemptive quality in Narns. One day, perhaps, those illusions will be wiped away, no?

There may yet be, but, if there is not, then someday, they will see that. People do not live under illusions for very long unless they truly want to believe them. Eventually, something will force them to see the truth.

An excellent reminder, that. I will keep it in mind, hm? And on the gray days when things do not seem to be looking my way so much, I will recall it, and it will bring a smile to my face.

*chuckles* That sounds like an excellent idea, Ambassador.

And I have you to thank for it, my good Lady.

Well, you're quite welcome. *chuckles*
