Response to the Sazkarjhit At this time, the Triarii don't even need to use their electronics, their combined energy is enough for them to reach out across the stars and the thought is transmitted to the Grand Vessels mind "The Equestrians have broken an old deal, they have disgraced a history older than they, they have spread a disease of the mind into our former mentors. No, we shall make a universal union one day, and then there will be no war, no want, no hate, no worry. There will only be peace. But that lies in the far future, for now we will stop the Equestrians, their lies shall go and the future for all shall be better. Once they no longer threaten the Cradle, we will be satisfied. They look down on us through perfumed noses, they hate us! We will defend out lands, our ways. We are a happy people... we eat, we grow, we advance, we die. We have a good life. But they come and break what we fought for, died for, gave our bodies for!" [i]So much you gave[/i] "Oh what mercy sadness brings... We must end our problems" Then silence fell as they left his mind Response to the Makudan "Eons ago, before many of you were even thought of, we were there. We were with the Aetherii, and we made an agreement to last all eternity. We would guard them while they found the path and guided us along it. And so it was the path was found, and we were to be guided along it to Ascension, that we might take up the mantle we were groomed for by the Aetherii. This agreement was signed in our blood, as we fought, died and sacrificed out physiology, our original forms, for them. Skip forward several eons, another turn of the page, and we have this. An agreement broken, the Equestrians a third party in it's destruction as over half the Aetherii were to abandon us, abandon the deal we sacrificed so much to maintain, and instead hand it on a silver platter to the Equestrians! What have they done for this? Uncountable of our people died to maintain this, to defend the Aetherii and saved Children as a result, hammering our future out of blood, building eternal bridges from their bodies... But now, in the dark of night... The screaming of Children keeps us awake! We will not rest until the terms of this agreement have been paid in full, that the Equestrians meddle no more in our affairs. War, if it comes to it, will burn galaxies and last a Thousand days and nights ((Note, this means 'A Very Long Time')) a goal none can support. The greater good conflicts with us... but we act as one... lest we perish alone..."
