It has to stay consistent, but on the whole we have been fairly good at that consistency, barring circumstances like the Aerie.

I think a lot of people here forget about other perspectives than their own. We are all biased by our experiences, but some have a harder time remembering that. The only thing all of us have in common at the base level is the blue glow and powers. What we each think is the road to recovery forward varies, and that seems to be a big source of conflict at the moment.

[ cassian would never claim to be without bias, and he knows his own life has made adaption to this world a little easier on him - to start, it's that alone that's made his return from the aerie much smoother than others. but he would claim he tries to be aware of that more often than not. ]

Having those different experiences is something that could be so beneficial to us too; we have such varied skills and knowledge and talents, and if we could work together to use them it might give us an advantage in dealing with the sorts of things we have to face. I don't expect everyone to agree on how to do everything, but extending some empathy toward each other during a disagreement is something that's relatively simple to do.

[And unfortunately ,they so often can't even manage that. But he suddenly realizes this is probably not the right situation to be talking about this, so--]

Sorry; that's not your fault, so I shouldn't be complaining at you.

It's fine. Clearly it is something that has been on your mind. But if it helps, I do agree we as a group have great potential to work together - we have done it before successfully, even if some of our failures tend to get more notice.

Combining powers into something new is useful teamwork; the problem them becomes disagreement over how to use it rather than examining it from a joint perspective.
