After a long conversation with Marcus and Amelia, and the subsequent discussion with my parents, contingencies have been set if.. if we don’t return. Avalon would listen to Marcus, making it impossible for Tobias to get to Avalon; the best course of action in my absence. Possible permanent absence. It was a choice I wasn’t happy with making, but sacrifices have to be made in the case of such a great threat. My only hope would be that the ICW would recognize the threat if the country falls.
