[color=82ca9d][b][h2] Mema-Ka [/h2][/b][/color] Mema-Ka stopped in his melody as the notification came to his communication device. [color=82ca9d][b]"Oh?"[/b][/color] He said aloud, eyes darting down to it and soon after he picked it up and read through Ava Lane's review. His expression remained one and the same for the duration, his eyes moved from side to side, devouring the text bit by bit. Being an avid reader, he was quick to get through it all. He allowed himself a soft sigh, blowing some air through his mouth and then made a reply directly to Ava alone. [color=82ca9d][i][b]"Corporal Lane. There are those whom may misjudge me today, there will be those which will misjudge me in the future. But in the end. I am simply myself. To others, my actions may seem rash, suicidal or even reckless. But that is because you do not know me, they do not know me. There is an old saying: that the most dangerous being in the world, is one able to discern between truths and lies, in this case the simulation is a lie, it isn't real, even if some would want you to treat it as real. There were no true victory to be had in that simulation, for it were made as to prove something to us, besides that working together can achieve particular results. It is that victory, regardless of which shape it may try to take, always comes at a price. But there are are also things one cannot win. There are of course those who would try to win all battles, such as the pilot of the Cockroach, using whatever is present as a tool to reach that goal. In chess, victory cannot be had unless you sacrifice the pawns in front of you. This is a belief that many share, commonly amidst humans, more so in the military where we now find ourselves. And has been the case since the beginning of time. No doubt you have lost valuable allies yourself along the way? You are most definitely not alone if that is the case. I am not saying you would be at fault if that were true. But what I would like to ask is: What does victory look like for you? Is it when a battle in a long grueling war is over? Is it when all enemies are dead? Is it when you can go home and receive all the things you've ever desired? In regards to the Raptor? It serves me well as my partner in the great quest before us. Til death do us apart so to speak. Only those whom are willing to put their lives on the line, have the right to deny that very thing to other creatures. Do you not agree? Why did the Cruxi attack? What end result are they seeking? How would a victory look like? I would love for us to sit down and talk at some point corporal if you would find the time to truly get to know me. I think we would have plenty in common. We both died in the simulation for one. I found the experience quite curious. A bright light. Then darkness. However we both came out of it, a real battle wouldn't bring that of course. Mema-Ka Ezqess Degadraz."[/b][/i][/color] The older twin sent the message away to Ava, then resumed to play on the piano, his eyes glimmering abit now, a soft smirk finding it's way to his lips.
