<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

So what I'm trying to piece together now is, what do you get out of striking them down now?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Perhaps. But I exist in a space where I have truly unique capabilities to offer the family. In my absence, nothing could work the same.

<Snipped quote by Session>

I never get anything out of what I do, personally. But the reason to act now, is because there exists a mechanism whereby their corruption can seep into Existence and begin to hurt other people who have no right to be subject to it. Admittedly, in this cycle, the circumstances are slightly different.
*Glances to the General*
Instead of finding another world to attempt to enact power over, we see they have been presented an opportunity to be introduced into a melting pot and seed their culture into a society that already rests on a knife’s edge every day.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

And I don't take it you like the idea of it being these guys' problem now?

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Narrows my eyes*
The power and corruption seeded here carries the weight to force a hand on the IA. If not my hand, then perhaps another’s.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

But would it work well enough?

<Snipped quote by Server>

I would love to be able to say I think it would.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

How could this one planet have that kind of an impact?

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Squints back*
I think you’ve got a poor understanding of our resilience.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Love to, so not that it really would.

<Snipped quote by LimeTime966>

All goes back to that whole sister drama thing, you know?

<Snipped quote by Session>

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

You both clearly lack an understanding of just how influential a proud and strong people can be. Some civilizations just grow to truly be a cut above the rest. The IA, in lieu of the disappearance of the Tzarians as a concrete civilization, exist as a body that’s simply no more than a few high-tech civilizations that are otherwise weak, who have done nothing more than swear to protect each other and any world they find who might fall under that umbrella. Even as noble as that is, it’s a wide and dangerous range of influence. And one nudge over the edge could threaten more people than any disaster could ever fathom if they were all independent.

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Nods*
Our father deems those of us like myself an incredibly rare breed, and a necessary one. And I occupy a spot that could quite literally not be filled.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Aren't you just making up what these people will do at this point? Plus, killing them, again, is pretty extreme.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Why not? You can't teach someone?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I never had siblings...and I don't want 'em.

<Snipped quote by Session>

No. And correct.

<Snipped quote by Server>

It relies on a skill that you'd have to be born with, not taught.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Deciding that they'll infiltrate the government and corrupt it is a pretty wide leap.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

And it's not something your father would understand if you told him you wanted to do something else?
