[color=SlateGray]"As probably should have been clear before, I do not, in fact, wish to ignore a possible genocide. Perhaps my rambling made that a bit unclear. I simply wished to express the fact that my people have been mistreated by humans before. I must add, then, that I would much rather see to it that Council pays for their cruel deeds, especially if this genocide has truly happened. I am not one to take something like that lightly, unlike my brazen associate Pax. I suppose though, that someone such as yourself, Riggs, would be unable to understand much in the way of sympathy for other races. That is quite clear in your manner of speaking."[/color] He coughed as Grick went to the Captain, believing any services he could offer to her unnecessary at the time. [color=SlateGray]"Regardless, though, you have made your point in why we should fake a mutiny, though I'm still skeptical in the effectiveness of such a lie, given... well, never mind that."[/color]

He turned to Cú. [color=SlateGray]"I do not blame you, my large friend, for not understanding our hesitation. You see, it takes a little more than just agreement to understand one another, and the Captain's goals for this next mission need to be clearer in order to facilitate such an elaborate ruse. If we do not prod at holes in the argument, we simply cannot develop this far enough to succeed. Therefore, we question, we consider, and we must also acknowledge the fact that being so far away from places we have known for so long-at least, quite a few of us-can be quite a new concept. Especially for those not prone to travelling long distances, with the exception of our missions before this one."[/color] He unfolded his legs and placed his arms on the table. [color=SlateGray]"But I digress. In the simplest terms, we are hesitant because this is new, and unknown for the fact that humanity has been gone for such a long time that we don't know much about them, especially personally; and we also hesitate for the freedom we have so longed for, for so long. Though I suppose that's not true in my case. Or, apparently, yours and the Captains either."[/color]

He then looked at where the Captain was. [color=SlateGray]"Given Riggs has, in the simplest terms, answered my questions I posed at the Captain, I will be willing to continue with this plan."[/color]
