James was still evaluating the worth of the rumors and whether they posed a real and imminent threat. He usually always erred on the side of caution, but in their current position it actually might not be a terrible idea to go and seek out the source of the rumors to see if they were really true. Even if it was a trap, if there was a greater evil that was slowly emerging, if they could do anything on behalf of the whole of humanity to stop it, that might actually be the better thing to do. Of course, it would be much much harder in actuality to even achieve that.
"I too, am inclined to believe that the risk does not outweigh the cost. If these rumors are more than just a ruse to eliminate those of us who remain, then the consequences will be more than just a risk to our lives, but to all of humanity. And I don't say that to sound like I even possess the power to bring about change and push back any dark and evil forces easily, or even well. But if we sit back and wait for whatever evil it is - if such a thing exists - to draw itself from the mountain and threaten us, and we do not do anything in our power to try... then we will have to live with that crushing guilt, if we live at all, and if we have any semblance of a conscience."
"And as you said, most all rumors are based in truth. And while I know that none of us know each other, and this meeting is purely by chance, I have a feeling this may be our only deciding moment to call one another to join in action or to apathetically sit back and let the winds blow where they may, and either watch destruction come or act too late to actually stop it."
