For those of you willing to share information, I have a few questions.

Are any of you from this world? Does what we do here mean something to you?

Has anyone been with this cause long enough to see worlds other than this one?

I am led to believe there are those who recall agreeing to this. If you did, what proof compelled you?

@BASICWITCH There is plenty to consider. Perhaps they erase people completely, but a truly intelligent and resourceful leader might have someone go back and change that person's path in life rather than killing them and being wasteful.

[There isn't just a moral question here. Even disregarding that for a moment, some of what the Regency appears to do, is said to do, seem outright foolish in regards to efficiency and the like. At least from Yoshitsugu's perceptive.]

I know that the spy herself feared erasure. I talked to her and she knew it was coming, tried not to act afraid, but was afraid nonetheless, so at least some in the Regency are told to expect that fate upon failure.

Right now information gathering is my focus; I am content to share what I find out as we move forward.

[ Morrigan vastly prefers real face-to-face communication, but what he says makes a more solid first impression than most of her encounters here have. Traveling through time has been so new to her that she cannot claim its full implications have dawned at her yet, and the concept of constantly changing someone's history to prevent any unwanted outcome is startling to her in both its efficiency, no pawn's life wasted, and its complete erasure of choice. The hollowing of a person. In that regard it is not unlike Tranquility, a fate she does consider worse than death. ]

@MINIMALCAT How fortunate that someone with your eye for detail has no desire to rise to power the same way. Perhaps they simply have such a grand number that killing their own seems trivial. It certainly seems to serve as a meaningful threat.

Whatever their motive, I will return the favor if I learn something more.

@BASICWITCH There may yet be someone like that waiting for us. An empire as vast as we are told this one is has to have multiple talents in it somewhere, alongside the enactors of what they probably call peacekeeping. The spy certainly spoke about it in that way. Pretty words for brutal methods.

Very well. My name is Yoshitsugu, but I'll be going by Gyoubu in public.
