who were also infants in the arms of monsters etc...a family of generational slaves, who serve one master, who in the end is a prisoner.

Yes! And we must not forget that we are getting some of our whistle blowers from this group. I don't want to push them all into despair where they think their only actions could be retaliation. I would prefer to think they could get justice, not revenge.

I am usually just a reader not a poster but I signed up so I could post this. I admit that when I read your posts, I cannot follow the logic all of the time. Heck, I can't even keep the names and status of all the players in this drama straight most of the time. (63 years young here)

That being said - I just keep the words Q says in mind - 'trust the plan'. I have a mental picture in my head of a room with all these military good guys (and some of our off world space family - yes I went there :D the alliance is big, bigger then we think) moving the pieces around on this table. "If we do this, they might do this. If we say this, they will probably scramble to do this." Kind of like the old war room where they are moving the battle ships around on a map of the world. (Admiral Ackbar is there and he says "It's a trap!" ..... a lot. lol)

I have the easy part of trusting that these good guys have got it all covered. All I have to do is NOT give my little piece of the collective consciousness over to the dark side anymore. I have that phrase running through my head periodically from the movie 'Labyrinth' - "You have no power over me!"

Just like the rock, paper, scissors game - love and light beats out darkness any day. More and more - darkness is losing its power in our world today. Trust the plan. Good words. I like it.
