This was a lesson that Aurora did not need. There had been nothing new for her to learn in the professor’s slides and lecture. Nothing she hadn’t long since committed to bone deep memory. That wasn’t to say she wasn’t paying attention, far from it. The only other class she would show this level of focus was the Framewerks lessons. And those lessons evoked a much different emotion from her.

From her position sitting in the middle of the seats offered. She looked out at the images displayed with clear and open [b]Hate[/b]. A fake smile sat poorly on her face as she burned with the ever feeling of loss that had been inflicted upon her. A longing to take Sleepy out and inflict a fraction of her pain at them simmered in her as well.

So much so she nearly missed the questions her fellow pilots were asking. She took a breath to keep her composure as she finally processed the questions, at the naivety in them. She didn’t not blame them, understanding was noble in most instances, but these abominations were not worth the effort.

[color=6ecff6]“Because they do not care.”[/color] Aurora would state, answering Arrish’s question. Her tone frigid with the hate she held for the Cruxi. [color=6ecff6]“Not for us. Not for any life that is not under their thrall.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“They do not care for diplomacy, nor at communication. For at the slightest hint of defiance they resort to wholesale slaughter. Orbital bombards to glass everyone and everything. Empathy is not a trait they possess.”[/color] She nearly spat the words out. Vibrating in barely leashed wrath.

[s][i]She could hear the screams in her ears again. Could smell the burnt ash and cooked flesh again.[/i][/s]

[s][i][color=6ecff6]'Mama? Mama!? Where are you Mama!?'[/color][/i][/s]

[s][i]She could taste the fear and bile and blood in her mouth again.[/i][/s]


[color=6ecff6]“Do not give them the grace of being civilized.”[/color] She would state with chilling intensity. [color=6ecff6]“They do not deserve it.”[/color]
