[ alisha has been nothing. she is merely another kid in the community service system, another empty locker that will soon be used again by some other idiot who thinks they're too invincible for the world at large. she knows nothing of knights, but soldiers she knows a thing or two thanks to the amazing world of media and television. ]

Those knights and soldiers aren't going to save us when they pit the Caer Glaem and Caer Scima — [ the two castles sound slightly butchered in her accent ] — against one another. Isn't that their plans? Make us all friendly on this network, go worm hunting or some shit, but when it really calls for war, we're meant to just kill each other like we're not really people.

[ what she doesn't say: what will those gods they bother praying to do then? ]
