<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Friendly terms are out of the question with confrontations like that.


*Sighs*
As the superior being, you should hold yourself to a higher standard you know. Make more of the effort to extend the olive branch.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

I could show them hostility. I even let their ships go without a scratch.


It’s a spectrum, Shattered. You were not at maximum hostility, but you weren’t exactly friendly.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

And again, we've given them the ability to act on their desires, if they align. If they don't, then they're worthless to us.


What you take for granted, they believe impossible. It’s not a surprise they don’t believe us at first when we tell them the possibilities. We need to show them. And not through hostility.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Which mean what?


A want for something more than they’re capable of. An indication of true intent only restricted by needless limitations.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Strip away their choices and what's left?


Desires.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

And he could also be much less. His choice in the moment of truth is all that really matters.


I can’t subscribe to that. People are more than just their choices.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Which is all a part of being alive. I fail to see why that's disqualifying.


Because nothing has to happen the way it does, like you said. Shouldn’t hold people to momentary failures like that, which you are actively watching someone go through. And are trying to discard someone because of. The Captain can be more than this.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

As much as we appreciate the flattery, there's no real reason to put so much weight on a rational state of mind. You'll find that the living are rarely rational.


Which is why you can’t uphold them to perfect behavior all the time. You’ll do foolish things, and you’ll make moments you regret.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

We're all thrust into an environment we didn't create.
*Holds up a finger and motions it into your face*
But we can all decide for ourselves how we respond.


In a rational state of mind, sure. But you’re all not always rational, are you? That’s what makes you precious.
<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Hex made her own choices too. None of this had to happen this way.


The illusion of lack of choice becomes apparent when people feel cornered. We’re the ones who established that environment.
