Sort of like a secret police, then?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Definitely not quite that far. But idolization has effects, both on the end of society and the individual ego.

<Snipped quote by Session>

Over the course of many universal cycles, some peoples rise up under repetitious circumstances and inevitably grow with corruption within. Sometimes obvious, sometimes underlying, but always harmful to the world at large when they inevitably expand. Once a civilization like this reaches the point of “breaching the multiverse”, as we can call it, I make a call. For the overall benefit to many less advanced, knowledgable or otherwise privileged worlds out there in grander Existence.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

You seem pretty down to earth, I think. I would normally think someone like that would be full of themselves.

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Chuckles*
Perhaps because I ended up jaded to the whole idea? I feel terrible though, to be in my position purely because of what I am gifted with rather than having any sort of desire. But trust me, our family has far more than its fair share of hubris spread about.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Okay, well, did it play out like this before? They don't have their magic water anymore to live forever, so now they have to completely redo their way of life. That could change everything.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

What is it that you want to do with your life?

<Snipped quote by Session>

The lack of the Life Element isn’t enough to change their ways.
*Pulls out an electronic device and tabs through it for a moment*
Let’s see… 337 years ago. That marks the date these people completed a classist genocide by excluding folks from using their elixir until they all aged and turned to dust. Only the wealthy, intelligent, or physically attractive were permitted to live and persist into the utopia they envisioned.
*Looks up at you while sliding the device back into my pocket*
The same people, and the same leadership that made that decision still live on this world now. The same populace that happily obliged. That sound like a society worth making an impression on other civilizations?

<Snipped quote by Server>

I never have really thought about life strictly from the perspective of what I want. It’s an idea I abandoned a long time ago.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Look, I wasn't summoned to this planet to make judgement calls about their character. They brought me here to treat sick people, and I made a promise that I'd find a cure. I think you've probably taught them their lesson at this point, and they'll learn to appreciate what it means to be alive. But killing them would be throwing away any chance they have of learning anything.

<Snipped quote by Session>

This isn’t the first time I’ve been through this, even here. A Phoenix World like this inevitably resets and rises again in a cycle. These people will be back. What looks like death now is impermanent, truly.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Giving up on hope, I'm guessing?

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Same as their life stuff? It seems to me that the source of the problem is that.

<Snipped quote by Session>

The Life Element? Perhaps its presence influences their nature to some degree, but in the end, that lies outside of where I interfere.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Moreso that there are always more important things to worry about, you know? Responsibility supersedes desire.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

But if you just remove that from the equation, then the problem solves itself, right? Plus, I don't understand everything you said, but it sounded like you were resetting this world. If you reset them now, we'll be standing right back here faster than if you let it play out.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Who relies on you? If you're responsible, then someone has to be depending on you doing this, right?

<Snipped quote by Server>

My family and the people of the IA, of course. It never has to be specifically me, I suppose, but if I’m best fit for a role people depend on, who am I to decline?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Perhaps. But there are boundaries to what I do. I have never, and will never interfere with a world in its development up through the point when it has its first breach event, and I will never partially quell a problem and then guide their development as some god. Every society ought to develop in its own right, and it’s that philosophy that outlines both the line I draw for myself, and for these worlds.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

That's one way to look at it. But you could also let someone else get the opportunity to step in if you feel like it's not what you want.
