No one loves you when you're evil

Morar left Gradient with things unresolved. Refusing to back down or apologise to them. Then he tracked down Cia and apologised to her.

Cia wants to recruit him into Re-Awakened. She doesn't want him turning into another Vikarion.

I have been filled with doubt. I think it could all go badly wrong. Cia wants it so badly though.

I asked Nelle, what would she think if he joined Re-Aw.

She seemed dubious, but she also believes that people need second chances. That It would be good for him to stay in EM, but he'd be doubted by Gradient. If he could get over that doubt; prove himself again, he'd be worth keeping. Worth saving.

Gottii has been down a little recently, ever since Cia dumped him. But he found time to corner me and ask me about Morar.

Gottii wants Morar back in the alliance. He says Morar deserves a second chance. And then he told me why.

Gottii was a slave, and when he stopped being a slave to Mary, he became a drug addict. One day his dealer pointed out he was still a slave so Gottii killed him. Sentenced to a Penal battalion, he spent more than a decade fighting, until he was scanned and pronounced a good candidate to be a pod-pilot. And now he's here. Free.

He needs to believe that Morar can be saved. That Morar deserves the chance to be saved.

Gottii's a friend. But he was once a junkie, a criminal and a murderer.

Is Morar really worse than that?
