[Erik cares little for the voting process or who was chosen to lead. What he does care about is how that decision will effect him. The environment. The natives, people who he feels an odd and detached sort of likeness to. He understands all too well what it’s like to be crowded into a small space and forced to live in fear for being ‘different’.]
Congratulations to our new leader.
I’m sure he’ll treat everyone fairly and equally.
I understand the need to feel separate from this world but there can’t be an us and them, the natives. It’s us and them, the monsters who feed on sound.
Many of us have abilities. Powers that are useful. There are natives that do as well. If we band together, we can keep ourselves safe. All of us.
[He wants to make his motives clear. He wants to survive. To get back home where he has unfinished business.]
I’m compiling all the information gathered here and there will be three different sections. Public, private, and what you can help with rather than abilities.
Do not respond to this post if you do not have anything useful to add. If you do not want to take the risk of others in the community knowing your skills, don't add them or make them private.

[So humble. But, okay, serious talk:]
Much as this might just sound like me stroking my own ego: I agree. This isn't the time to be isolating any part of our community. If we're going to overcome this it's going to be together. Prejudice will only make us the losers to whatever goal the Sound Eaters are after. I'd like to not end up in the Worst Case Scenario. It's called the Worst Case Scenario for a reason.

Does that extend to our devices?
It's not the right time ever. The natives have been open with us.
They're weak and they're afraid.
We shouldn't punish them for their fear.
There are bigger battles to be fought. The Sound Eaters are intelligent.
They kill us easily.
If the natives are right, what if the first death is our last. Or the second.
They've told us of people who arrived the way we did dying permanently.
We should be prepared.

Everyone deserves a chance to get where they want to be. Whether that's home, a safe Earth, or somewhere else. If there's anything I can do to help it's my responsibility to. As much as I hate to say it this is a war.
