Exactly.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Nothing, really. You?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Busy. And for you?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

In the end, not enough did.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Opposite of you. What do people do here?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Ah. That's a shame, then.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Depends on the person. I do research in my free time wherever I am, so there's that.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I don't believe an entire planet worth of fighters would have been enough to prevent what happened, though. Both Sven and that Tox fellow defended the planet heavily.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Ah. That is neat.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Really? How could any species be that bad?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

I suppose. You?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

They had no concern for anything that wasn't one of their own kind. Sometimes, I doubted they even had that much.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

So, essentially the Buggers?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

You'd have to tell me what those are.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Codes a few lines*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*frowns*

....

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Something wrong?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Incredibly wrong. I was dead right about those shipments. I sent in a few task forces to the checkpoints, turns out, those shipments were Crimson Armada nukes. They destroyed 110,000 trade vessels, and eliminated our trade routes by attacking our docking bays. Every single one.....

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Well. That's a bad thing.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Its horrible. Three million dead in the span of 5 earth hours. The worst part is, the perps were all declared dead. No one will pay for this hideous crime except for the victims... All of those families... Men, women, even children, gone. Just like that... Its times like these that I wish I weren't a leader, so I couldn't blame myself.. I know I cant stop everything, but this... This is unnaceptable... The death toll will only rise until I get the supply lines up and running again, and that'll take months...

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

People will always die and others will always survive. If not by this, by something else. The fact of the matter is that you don't know what the world would be like if you had or hadn't done something; that would be the Butterfly Effect. The only thing you can know is what you can do ahead.

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Yeah, but the fact is, their blood is on my hands now. I did nearly nothing to advert this tragedy, and it certainly shows. The central council is suspicious of my current movements, and other high powers of the EDB have voiced their concerns. This will only be more fuel for the fire... I dont know how much more of this I can take. I've been giving it my all and its still not enough... Perhaps existence isn't ready for centralized government.
