Do you perceive it worth the cost?

@Memory

I believe I wouldn’t be here with you if it wasn’t.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Of course. And through the betrayals of your own soldiers.

@Memory

There was an annoyingly high amount in the beginning, but it is definitely more stable now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Mm, I look forward to seeing whether your experiment succeeds. Trust is easily destroyed, but slow to build.

@Memory

I think I have worked with you long enough to figure out that sometime within.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

There's something to be said for satisfied soldiers.

@Memory

With the scope I have achieved, the old system is becoming null. It is a necessary change, I'm not saying that there be complete dissatisfaction, if anything many of the higher ranks will be more than satisfied with the new system.
*slightly turns my head towards you*
Those who aren't however will be purged.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

With knowledge that the alternative was eons of bloodshed, I could afford to be patient. What solution do you propose?

@Memory

Change of leadership as well as ranking and roles. It's been a necessary one that I have been working on for a long time.
*stars somewhat-quickly skimming through the pages*
Some of my men have been getting comfortable and content. Can't have that.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

Adding to my constantly-growing backlog, of course. Are you satisfied with the outcome of your efforts?

@Memory

Yes, the outcome we wanted is what we got. Took longer than expected with your time traveling friend. Though what also ended up is individuals who got a taste of power that they never dreamed of. Which mean my men are going to have more work to do and more chances for spotty loyalties.
*grabs another book*
Though I have something that will prevent that.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

My son is free to forge alliances as he sees fit, even in his schemes to track Chance across Existence. Whether they succeed for him or fail.
*Smiles in half-amusement as I retrieve a book from the shelf*
I’m more invested in your efforts. After all, you’ve always been my favorite child.

@Memory

If you are attempting to fluster me, then you have succeeded. Nonetheless… It makes me happy to hear you say that. Though, and I doubt that your sons will hear this, they will not be happy to hear that and also find themselves at a loss.
*smiles slightly*
I am currently writing a library worth of reports that timelines mine and my men’s efforts during the chaos. I feel that it will add nicely within our archives and give you a nice read for a long while.
*sighs*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

*Chuckles*
And yours spotty at best, as usual?

@Memory

Of course, come with the territory of having new recruits more frequently than our own.
*looks at you*
Your sons appear to be standing strong as well. Have you thought about Luke’s relationship with the child of Sreig?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

*Nods*
And I presume there continues to be no indication of compromise among our own?

@Memory

Not any at the moment, but my diligence with the matter is high. We cannot afford any mutiny within our own ranks to maintain control.
*looks at you*
I will say our powerhouses are great deterrents for that as well, their loyalty is second to none.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

New arrivals are less of a concern than ancient players on the board. No gain in becoming too eager.

@Memory

New arrivals are an indicator of change, but I agree. As for some of our longtime enemies, they are watched closely, enough where most of their movement and actions are slowed. It helps when they do not know that they have been infiltrated for a long time.
