Sam, if you could materialize in front of every single Summoned right now and talk to them one-on-one, you'd not get them all to show up for a meeting. Even if it's open to everyone, as I said, we're probably going to have to start smaller and work our way up from there.
[He's sure some have entrenched themselves deep into their own faction, swinging their loyalties in the same direction. Perhaps a few do not even care about what happens between the territories, even if it is a continent-engulfing war. Even Stephen cannot balance those variables in his mind without it giving him a headache; it doesn't surprise him that Sam's goals are grand, but he wonders if they are, a little, overreaching.]
The best we can do is hope for an opportunity where we all converge, even if temporarily, in a place where we can meet face-to-face. That'll take a force bigger than any of us. [Politcally. If the higher-ups were to, say, perhaps hold a PEACE SUMMIT...HMM...] And if we can get half of our number on-board for a Horizon meet-up later, I'd consider that a win.
[Stephen is trying to remain grounded in reality here. Casting their net wide is always a good idea, except when that net could drag in more complications than necessary. An assessment of who's invested in preventing war is more useful than yelling into the void.]
If we do get something promising rolling, I can try to spread the word on my end.
