It was at this point that one of the officers stood up and made a speech.  Jude listened intently; something about the man's words and manner were riveting.  The Sins were not nearly so impressed.  Pride, in particular, burst out laughing.<br/>--Are you listening to what this guy is saying?  He just called everybody who's asked a question "childish."  He dramatically reveals that we aren't on earth.  And his alternative to all this "finger-pointing" is... get this...  Solving the problem!  Oh, ye heavens below!  It's like a 1990s presidential speech in America!--<br/>--Oooh, he's asking you to abandon Moka in the name of "United We Stand."  Classy move!--<br/>--The man has balls, give him that.--<br/>--And we all know that's the highest compliment you're capable of giving, Lust--<br/>The laughing continued, somewhat disrupting the cadence of Ryudo's speech.  Jude remained silent until the end, watching the reactions of the others.  He didn't want to alienate them, after all.  He was almost certain they came from earth and would be familiar with elementary reasoning.  Especially if Orpheus made them officers-- Vincent didn't seem like the type of person to tolerate stupidity.  Once the speech was over, Jude turned first to the queen.  It was only polite to finish their interrupted conversation.<br/>"On one thing, at least, we agree.  So once Moka has recovered sufficiently, I assume we'll be seeing her again?"<br/><br/>Then he turned back to the person who'd spoken.  "Oh, I agree completely.  Everyone here is an Orpheus member; we should definitely look out for each other.  So if you have a possible solution, I'll listen gladly."<br/>--You know there are Amazons in the room, right?  They're not really Orpheus--<br/>--Shhh!  They're not really people, either!--
