Supposedly it's pretty tasty if you can eat it. He can regenerate too. My guess is that fish is like us, except a fish. And really big. [ Yuri didn't actually eat any, she was too busy getting knifed. ] Mostly just the shadows, since at least minor self-defense is important to get yourself out of situations like that and guns are pretty effective but not every human who comes here is exactly friendly to start off with either.

[ Yuri's got to figure out how to explain this in the right way for a second, so there's a brief pause. After all, some people don't see things the way she does. Most people don't see getting stabbed in the chest or shot at as something so easily forgivable, especially the newer people here. ]

The one thing we all have in common is that our lives were pretty crappy. They weren't fair and for the most part, none of us had much control over what happened even if we spent a lot of time grasping for it. Some people come from worlds of horror where they don't even feel safe sleeping in their own homes at night and they go into self-defense mode when they're dumped in a strange place, possibly not even having memories of dying or sometimes worse if they do. If my people can't at least protect yourself long enough to get to me so I can figure out how to deal with the situation, then it's my failure as the leader. The people who freak out like that aren't necessarily bad people either and some have even joined the SSS, but sometimes they can be dangerous until everyone comes to an agreement. Especially if they aren't found by someone right away and think they're alone and abandoned because they landed here in a place where humans don't normally go.

[ She nods. ] It's just under my name if you look it up when you get to a computer on the network.
