Look, I still want to go for peace on this. I don't want to attack these people, they have lost a whole fucking world of shit already. So I am going to ask for something.

I want a story from your past. Something I can share, something that makes you you. Stories were important to them. Past experiences were important to them. It shouldn't give away anything on the ship, just something that is important to the past. Your past. If there is art you can do, a particular talent, something that is creative, give me this. A picture. A recording.

If you're not interested in avoiding a fight, just go do whatever. Lick on a gun barrel for twenty minutes. Warning, they taste bad. But for the ones that want to try? Do me this favor. Avoiding a repeat of Cadacus Primary is why I asked for this job in the first place.

[He'll... try to avoid arranged marriages this time.]

Think of it like ah... That balance thing I mentioned? It's like that. We have had influence on literally a hundred universes, on a hundred worlds. Even if we are less people than a full planet, getting rid of us destroys potential for all those places.

[skelepun]

couldn't agree more. we're a bunch of assholes, but at least we do it with unique flare, right? ;)

[vengeance_driven]

Give us some credit. About 85% of us are assholes. Some of us want to genuinely be good people.

[skelepun]

didn't mean to offend, pal. you're doing you. no shame in that.

too bad even the good ones are getting painted with the planetary destruction brush. guess these c-primers don't like math as much as they like stories.

[vengeance_driven]

You didn't offend me, I'm an asshole.

But yeah, including the kids that are here who are all innocent.

And being a kid that grew up in a warzone, I'd rather not them see us kill off the last of a people as if it was some meaningless small thing that got in our way.

[skelepun]

you're preaching to the choir. there's a few kids in particular i don't want seeing that.

not the way to live a life, y'know? we can be better. we oughta be better. but i guess, welp, what can you expect from a crew with this much LOVE.

[vengeance_driven]

Man, I am a hitman. And a thief! You know what. If I can calm my shit for twenty minutes to try and take the way out that results in less broken machinery and people being used for target practice? Other people can do.

...Or those of us who want to try gotta be loud about it I guess.

[He's honestly not expecting anyone to listen to him at this point, but fortunately he's unwaveringly stubborn and hopes that some do.]

[skelepun]

you're a better guy than me, pal. i gave up being loud a while ago. too much effort.
