*Scowls*
Are you going to stay out of my way or not??

@Artifact

Of course not.
*Cracks my knuckles very loudly*
If anything I’m more motivated.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You won’t find the rest of them. I’m the best you’ve got.

@Artifact

*Looks disappointed*
Oh.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Frowns*
Ohh, so that's what you think is going on. I'm afraid I can't accommodate that request. You have me.

@Artifact

I’m sorry?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You won't change anyone's mind. We're committed.

@Artifact

Then what’re we doing here? Send in the rest of your machine army so I can wipe them out, because that’s the only way a resolution will be reached here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

None of us are here to indiscriminately kill everyone. These are tactical decisions.

@Artifact

Tactics and morality are not mutually exclusive… But there is no convincing you, I don’t imagine. You have a superior you must answer to, and I can’t convince them through you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Then if you insist on protecting one universe out of countless, it looks like we're stuck agreeing to disagree.

@Artifact

Be honest with yourself. It isn’t just one, and that mentality fallaciously trivializes the scale of it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

And here I thought you understood what it means to do the best thing for your empire.

@Artifact

With all due respect, my understanding of the world goes beyond just that of imperialism.
*Looks back down to you*
Some things do come first.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

On one side is another empire. On the other is a breed of ruthless brutes who yearn for corruption and destruction. I’m more than glad to let them wear each other down.

@Artifact

That’s grand and all, but this means to the end just cannot stand.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You’re beyond a military victory at this point. You may as well preserve your strength.

@Artifact

If you’re going to win, do it without needless slaughter. Who’s opposing you to actually owning these dimensions?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Is that satisfactory for you to let me finish the job here?

@Artifact

We fancy ourselves a bit of an empire as well, my people.
*Looks up*
I respect your movements, but as such, I now have yet another reason to sabotage your operation here. No two empires may coexist long, and your head start is a bit of an advantage.
