      I like how you keep the negative voices at bay by talking to them like someone you don't care for. It's great that you manage to keep things positive. Don't ever lost that trait!

      I really like this line, Porter: "For they are The Watchers we watch rise."
      There are other really interesting lines, too, but I think that one is my favorite.
