[@Commodore Robot] What has the Dominion's activities in regards to the Silent Imperium been? (They probably aren't aware of the Oath or what it entails, the Oath is meant to be secretive, but probably presume their intentions to be genocidal in nature) Do they actively try to hunt Tikali down to this day or not? This may alter the trajectory on the Silent Imperium's behavior, which radicalizes if the Dominion really does go on campaigns to locate and destroy concentrations of Silent Imperium activity and any Tikalli populated worlds (the ones that are independent anyhow). [@TheSovereignGrave] A devoted Tikali agent of the Silent Imperium would likely find those views foolish if not blatantly patronizing. The less devoted but still oath bound Tikali might miss your point entirely and seemingly avoid the subject when brought up, saying something like "You are right, this whole war with the Chelonians has been going on for ages. We should've killed them all down to maybe a couple million or so like they did to us centuries ago. But things happen, not all plans go right and the ones at top like their pointless adventuring, you wouldn't believe what's out there. Once there was a time my excavation team encountered a planetoid filled with paste. From top to bottom, just paste all around. Paste everywhere, from the highest mountain tp the deepest crater, even when digging inside we found a whole underground ocean of paste. We thought there'd be something more to it, but alas the scans proved it was paste to the core."
