Water Protection Guard

So you are going to go through with it?

"What do you mean 'go through with it' as if I didn't plan shit"

I didn't think you were serious, you were never serious about dating.

"Yea well people change besides I don't want to be here each day waiting

For something different to come, at least by doing something myself

I can start to build the life I want, love doesn't come to he who sits by himself."

A girl could always come up and ask you out.

" A woman just might do that but not all of them are willing to scout

The man they like in a crowd and go to him when there are many more

Willing to come to her. Besides what is gentlemanly about that, who holds the door

For whom? Will you let the woman take the lead on everything?

Besides it is the man's job to make a move to do something."

I disagree completely! The world is not divided into jobs for men

And jobs for women! That's an old way of thinking remember when

Addison talked about the changing world and how one could either

adapt with it or adapt to being a relic. Remember his quote--' Ceasar's

still rise up every generation, their genius to find a new way to rule'.

"Addison was a relic of the past and in many ways an idealist fool"

Oh you don't mean that Riley, Addison is the reason we are here.

"Yes here! Stuck here in a post guarding water that has evaporated!

Whatever stupid role we were sold all, whatever duty we had to this hated

Land, was nothing more than ideas barfed up from Addison's brain.

Water Protection Guard doesn't mean watching dust and the main

Reason for our present state is the result of that great government

The one that Addison was part of and always preached involvement.

All of that was nothing more than dry words, dry words spoken to

Dry thirsty people. Do I need to remind you exactly who

It was that proposed the Water Conservation Initiative?

It was Buckley who, I add, was a representative

Of a delegation which was chaired by Addison during the Crisis.

Water Conservation indeed! What a clever name for the unrighteous!

How did they save us by building the Saviors Citadel!

They even put Christ's image on it! I hope they all went to hell!

Now you and I stay in this hut in the middle of the desert

Waiting and hoping to see the trickle come down the dirt!

And then our job really begins, because then all the people

We thought we would be protecting will be in upheaval

Coming to try and siphon off what they can before it enters the reservoir

This was never what I thought I would be doing, not at all by far

But I'd rather have something to do than nothing like everyone else

Waiting around day after day for something to come while the whole world melts!

I've had it! I want to be up in Anchorage, where there is still freshwater

The Arctic Republic is the only place that has stopped getting hotter!

I need to leave this place behind and this date and this girl is the only way

This place is death, slow death to us all and I won't have it kill me another day."

Addison always said you never knew what love is

And what are you going to do propose, give her a Sealed Kiss?

"I fucking hate you"

No it's true

That's the only way the Arctic will let you get in, I mean that's you plan right?

You get married to this girl and then fly in overnight?

"There is no other way out of this desert the only way to have any kind of freedom

To be in an actual city, and be able to under the sky all day, not living in a dome.

Don't you want that? Don't you want to be able to breath deeply without having to worry

That the air around you is filled with the particles from the dust storm slurry.

We don't get to live like humans here, we'll never will know what Old Utah was like

We will never know what America was really like. Only if you go somewhere like Klondike

Is there still a shadow of what the Old World was in all the glory salvaged there

And that is where I am going to go whatever I must do to get there is my only care."

But it's a hologram date how do you know that 'she' is even real?

You remember Garcia? He was 'contracted' by Anchorage but it was a group who steal

The organs of young Badlanders if they are young enough. They never kill a person who

Is over the age of 15 by then the organs are not good enough. That is what those people do.

A holo program. You can never have any clue about the who or what is at the other end

Hell is could even be an A.I. you know the incubator systems need stem cells and---

"Would you just stop Hyatt, I know, I know, but I don't care, I just don't care

There is no way I can keep doing this, there is no way I could dare.

I am a human and I want to live like a human. I want to eat real food

And stand under the sky, and not be in dome that regulates anything that could

Make for a normal life, I'm sick of eating crap synthesized from recycled protein

I want to taste a real plants and not Grupo Superiores Mas Verde bean.

It's all fake, all of it and if she is too well then that wouldn't be too surprising would it."

Addison always you to say that ' Hope is like water you can---

"Addison is dead Hyatt. And so are the ideals of all the Old World peoples.
