*Looks disappointed*
Oh.

@Valiance

*Scowls*
Are you going to stay out of my way or not??

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I’m sorry?

@Valiance

You won’t find the rest of them. I’m the best you’ve got.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Then what’re we doing here? Send in the rest of your machine army so I can wipe them out, because that’s the only way a resolution will be reached here.

@Valiance

*Frowns*
Ohh, so that's what you think is going on. I'm afraid I can't accommodate that request. You have me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Tactics and morality are not mutually exclusive… But there is no convincing you, I don’t imagine. You have a superior you must answer to, and I can’t convince them through you.

@Valiance

You won't change anyone's mind. We're committed.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Be honest with yourself. It isn’t just one, and that mentality fallaciously trivializes the scale of it.

@Valiance

None of us are here to indiscriminately kill everyone. These are tactical decisions.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

With all due respect, my understanding of the world goes beyond just that of imperialism.
*Looks back down to you*
Some things do come first.

@Valiance

Then if you insist on protecting one universe out of countless, it looks like we're stuck agreeing to disagree.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That’s grand and all, but this means to the end just cannot stand.

@Valiance

And here I thought you understood what it means to do the best thing for your empire.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

If you’re going to win, do it without needless slaughter. Who’s opposing you to actually owning these dimensions?

@Valiance

On one side is another empire. On the other is a breed of ruthless brutes who yearn for corruption and destruction. I’m more than glad to let them wear each other down.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

We fancy ourselves a bit of an empire as well, my people.
*Looks up*
I respect your movements, but as such, I now have yet another reason to sabotage your operation here. No two empires may coexist long, and your head start is a bit of an advantage.

@Valiance

You’re beyond a military victory at this point. You may as well preserve your strength.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I should hope so, if everyone’s doing what you’re doing.

@Valiance

Is that satisfactory for you to let me finish the job here?
