[Mary's been quiet this whole time, but the berating words that keep coming from Cid finally spur her to speak. She steps forward from the back of the crowd and makes sure to catch his eye.]

The fact is we've been doing all we can here with the limited information we have. We've worked hard to turn every stone we can find and try to uncover every mystery, and most of what we find is what others did wrong. The Ancients, the previous cycles, we've found their mistakes. We've found their attempts to try to change things. We have a long list of what didn't work and what made things worse. It may seem like we've gone around breaking things, but everything we've found only served to keep everything repeating as it had been, and that wasn't going to last forever.

[She slams her hand down on the table and glares at the non Heroes present.]

If any of you have been sitting on something, waiting to see if we were worthy of knowing it, now's a fine time to speak up. Kalki's been the only one to really volunteer anything and frankly none of us want to make that our plan if we can help it. We're willing to put ourselves on the front lines and confront whatever enemy we have, but we need to know you're supporting us from here.
