Looking at thewake, re-voicetesting

[can_fall_no_lower]

 And so you once again plot to place me in a game with humans, having only now found yourself with enough time to start tormenting me anew.

I assure you, I will continue my work regardless of what restrictions you think this place will put on me. Your species is a menace, and for the good of all real people, your kind will be eliminated before you can do anymore damage in your violent rages. I have no use for this conversation other than to inform you that this will not be an effective way to end my mission.

[She quirks a brow.]

Okay, so if they're just dumb animals, what's your beef with them, exactly? It doesn't speak too many flattering volumes about your kind if you can't defend yourselves against a race of dumb animals that exist soley on baser instinct.

That's just natural selection at work.

[can_fall_no_lower]

...you are proof that destroying other species is the right path. Not a drop of mercy resides in you for the genocide of my people. And that means you're dangerous, and danger is something that will be systematically eliminated. If I didn't kill you, you'd probably go off and cause misery among your own people with that attitude.

[dimeliora]

Oh for God's sake...

First of all, since you're not going to remember this in-game, it won't hurt to inform you that I'm not human.

And second, I endeavoring on the long, roundabout way to the point that your regard to humans is a sweeping generalization. And it's one that wouldn't even be relevant in Nautilus; the humans there aren't the humans from your universe.

But I guess your gun-jumping just saved us a few minutes, so there's that.

[can_fall_no_lower]

Not being human does not make it better.

Perhaps you ought to learn manners before we have this discussion in-game. [Yes, he is a pissy child sometimes. His whole life was spent in a society that pretty much let him be one.]

[dimeliora]

Here's a little secret for you, Champ:

When people start discussing something like genocide so lightly? That's usually when most other people partaking in that discussion abandon their manners. I mean, all pretenses aside, basing genocide around a logical fallacy is pretty fucking stupid.

[can_fall_no_lower]

And basing it on nothing whatsoever was fine for humans? They get a free pass?

[dimeliora]

I didn't say that. I'm just saying two wrongs don't make a right, especially when there are plenty of innocent lives on the table between those kinds of decisions.

[can_fall_no_lower]

You sound like the other muse my mun has from my universe. The traitor. [That last part is more murmured than outright stated.]

[dimeliora]

Then maybe that muse will have better luck than mine at talking some sense into you.

Nothing justifies murder. Whatever your kind may be, you'll learn really damn quick that it's something you can't take back or stop once you get started.

[can_fall_no_lower]

It's self-protection, not murder. And I'll be damned if I take the advice of you or that traitor in my mun's head.

[dimeliora]

How is slaughtering an entire sentient species self-protection? [Because somehow, she doubts human kids or even everyone on Earth had much to do with whatever went down.]

Not to mention that again, the humans in Nautilus are irrelevant to whatever beef you might have. They're not the humans from your world.

[can_fall_no_lower]

They hit us once. We wouldn't survive a second blow. This is taking them out before they strike again. Two-thirds of our population were left dead. We will never forget that - we cannot, or we are doomed.

They're still humans. Still violent and to be avoided while I continue my work.

[dimeliora]

And that sucks. I can only imagine how horrifying that was.

But what makes you think that the humans all banded together to do something like that? Last I checked, their governments are the entities that decide to go to war. And a good damn lot of the time, they make those decisions while ignoring their people, no matter how disgusted or outraged they are.

[Where she comes from, it's practically down to a science for the government to ignore the people.]

Only gonna say this once, pal. Don't get any ideas about the humans or anyone else in that city. They're innocent.

[can_fall_no_lower]

Their governments were united enough in coming to us in the guise of peace. They're all equally guilty. And even if you convert me into your perverse 'all species are equal' line of thinking, there are many more than me working on this project.

I won't harm them if they keep their violence to themselves. I get attacked, I attack back.

[dimeliora]

Either that, or one of them decided to overstep their boundaries and to hell with everyone else. If that's the case, you're looking at just a small group of humans who decided to act on ignorance. They're destructive morons, but they're not worth killing so many others. They're not the voice of their entire species. And others playing in the water park doesn't make it okay either, chief.

They wouldn't attack you, which is just the point. Humans aren't all violent, psychopathic monsters.
