"Could it really happen... Are they really going to fight?"
Civilians were getting anxious because the way the news presented it, the posture of the four federations... It indeed looked as if they were about to take action.

"They wouldn't really do it, would they... Are they serious?"
"Why wouldn't they dare? You really think the Federation is all harmony and peace?"
