There are a lot of unknowns, that being one of them. I don't even know where they came from. Whatever world they've been stashed away on, it's been hidden, and hidden well, outside their home universe.

@Nemeses

And Cerberus has something to do with them?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

It's not just about wiping them out for the sake of it. It's not a grudge thing, it's about the rest of reality. A couple Tzarians in hiding that believe their species to be lost entirely are much less dangerous than a recovered, vengeful army of them seeking to conquest the omniverse. The stragglers can be dealt with in their own time.

@Nemeses

How many are a part of this army?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Mostly. Like I said, that or important to the IA, which they seek to dismantle. Can't start their own empire with competition that has such a massive head start on them, after all.

@Nemeses

Then why would you be trying to stop that? If you want to wipe them out, it sounds like just the kind of thing you'd promote.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

There are solutions to bigger problems that take priority. And while you may not like to admit that, you'll come to learn. Because they've come, some already having scoped out that precious mountain base of yours under the mask of friendliness, and they'll be targeting every traitor to their people, and every friend to a traitor, soon enough. It's already started. It's the reason you're even here to begin with.
*Turns to look out the window*
Everyone killed. A Tzarian in hiding. A friend to one. Important figures to the well being of the IA itself.

@Nemeses

That's the reason? They're all Tzarians?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

There is no source. It's a product of nature, or perhaps fate. But it doesn't matter.

@Nemeses

It does matter. There are other solutions you haven't looked at.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Long enough to see it all end, and begin anew, more times than I care to count.

@Nemeses

Have you tried tracking down the source of why it always ends up that way?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Because I've seen it. I've had eons to watch their civilization rise, to give them a chance to be better. In the end, they fail, every time. So I wipe the slate clean, and wait for the new cycle, to afford them a new chance. There's a reason I don't wipe them out at their earliest inception.

@Nemeses

Just how long have you been around?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Their culture is war. Domination, conquest, expansion, and violence. The best among them is patriotic and encouraging of this. Every single time, when their civilization grows to a critical point, they begin to aspire beyond their own universe, and subject the rest of reality to conquest, until someone stops them. That has been me.

@Nemeses

How could you speak for all of them? You don't think the same way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Are you so sure that they're all innocent? That even one of them deserves to be spared? You really do need to have a grasp of their culture to understand. Like me, considering I am one.

@Nemeses

Why harm someone because of their culture? Your species isn't what makes you evil.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I roll them over when they start rolling over others. And I have done so many, many times. This time, the IA is a fruitful byproduct of exactly the benefits of the empire they seek, but nothing more. They're tyrannical, racist, and violent. And they're that way every time.

@Nemeses

But why blame the innocent who had nothing to do with it? You can't blame someone for a crime they didn't commit.
