*sigh* That was sort of parodying the standard hivemind/assimilation villian speech. And was intended to be very tongu-in-cheek, although there's no good way to denote that.((I hate when that happens.))
I also might disagree with you on whether morality works like that. But that argument would be half semantics, half flames, and all derail, so I won't start it.((The way I look at it is like this: Is it right to force someone to be a freeman in Hell?))
-snip-((It's not the place of the characters to decide, but it is the place of the players to contemplate.))
((First, please close your tags GWG, if I had not noticed that there might have been issues))((There aren't. I almost never close tags at the ends of posts or sections. How often does that cause issues?))
"But the worst part is that I know Anderson's still working there.((Unlikely, it's probably many decades if not centuries after Steve's incarceration.))
@GWG((Neither evolution nor morality work like that.))
Perhaps the Altered were the final step in evolution, perfection. Perhaps the only reason they "attacked" us, was so that we could be assimilated into the perfect conciousness. Perhaps our life is a pitiful and torturous mockery when compared to the Altered. Really, there's too much UWM propaganda for us to know.
((On the other hand, each turn we do not kill the bot is one where some more drones are spawned. And we don't have enough people to kill 2-3 drones every turn while still damaging the big bot at a decent speed, even if we hit every single attack aimed at a drone.))((It's still a good idea to keep the drone population under control, I suspect that if we do not, the drone population will continuously increase to the point of being insurmountable. After all there was no mention of a spawn limit.))Someone go for the drones, it'll make things easier down the line!((Wrong. The big guy summons more drones every turn.))
"Then let me ask you this: why does he need it stolen, if it's not his? Why can't he steal it himself? If he can't steal it himself, how does he know exactly where it is? How does he know it hasn't been moved? Jussillitin's Knife applies both ways, M'Ber.""He would presumably want it stolen because of some magical or monetary value, and he would have asked Smashy so he wouldn't be caught, because he wasn't the one stealing it. He could, theoretically steal it, but fears the long arm of the law. And if he wanted it stolen, there are many ways he could have found out. It's likelier that he would discover where it was if he was trying to steal it than if it was stolen from him."
((I'm not sure what it's firing, where it is, or what happened to it. So many conflicting signals...))<Why exactly are you refusing to return an inefficient weapon that fires sticks, which was used to nearly murder someone?>
"That's not what explicitly means!"M'Ber rolls his eyes, considering."Explicitly? No. He no use dirty words."
"Did he ever explicitly say it was his?"
M'Ber follows.Rillsim pipes in, having neared the two of them a time ago and listening until now. "It is folly to assume the worst intentions, good M'Ber, for we have no proof that the 'lizard' was lying, just as we have none that he told the truth. In the absence of such, promises should be kept.""What he said. Now if you excuse me, Smashy must go prepare for his epic quest to retrieve Lizard's Gem from Ulfric's room."
Smashy leaves the homeless shelter, and looks for a shop where he can spend some of his gold on supplies.
((Oh dammit. Yeah, your broken limbs are okay.))[4] You slip past the crowd and enter the hospital."Well, my arm broken-"
"What is the issue, miss?"QuoteInjuries: Legs & 1 Arm Broken"-But I can't feel any pain-"QuoteHealth: Uninjured (100%)"-That not a good thing, right?"
