You are now <span class="mu-s">Kimnan Oles II</span>.
Your brother, the Supreme Ruler of the Hegemony, has invited you to the Opalescent Palace for some friendly catching up and a relaxing evening; or so you assumed. You are getting older now, and your health and longevity prospects are a bit less then your Brother's. You're pretty sure that you'll be scheduled for euthanasia in about a decade from now- and that was the news you wanted to share with him. That was, of course, until he told you what he has been thinking of.
<span class="mu-b">”Kimnan, you're the only one I can talk openly about this kind of stuff.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”What is it, Eoba?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Remember when we talked- in the garden on the Xin colony? You asked me if anything we choose matters. If we are more then our biology and genetics dictate-”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”I think you've proven that without a doubt! After completing your vow and expanding the empire- people are starting to refer to your reign as Eoba the Great...”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”...I want to get rid of our genetic caste system.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”W-what!?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”What if everything we've been working towards is just wrong- just be one little step? Everything will be the same; the same genetically gifted children will advance faster and further- and the best families will be taken to Jaxt, where they can benefit most from the greatest intuitions- the same names will dominate the highest positions on Jaxt. The Garastras, the Takars, the Dulioans- we will still keep the breeding programs and eugenic culls of the lesser among us- and Supreme Candidates will be a little older, but not too much.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”Eoba, this barely sounds like you're changing anything at all- I highly doubt such a small change will result in anything! Has your mind been corrupted by those capitalist fish?! The genetic aptitude score given to all children is a core tenant of our society. It cannot be so easily removed without-”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”I know how it sounds, Kimnan. You're my brother. You're my confidant. I will only ask you this once; do you think this could work? Do you trust that <span class="mu-i">I</span> could make it work?”</span>
>Yes
>No
