“We have just finished a war, Wrix. It would be quite an undertaking...”
“Do you actually think the Hazaar can stand up to us?! Please, your majesty, forgive me, but that is foolish. The Hazaar are getting ravaged by insignificant pirates and criminals, who were could easily defeat with a concentrated effort. Besides, the Hegemony's war machine is still hot and many of its resources have been spent already. It would be much better for our soldiers to die now while they're fresh and ready to be expended then wait and train new ones, wouldn't you agree?”
Wrix's speech seems to get more intense the longer he goes on, he almost seems passionate. What he says is cruel, the type of pragmatism only seen in the mind of an UNSPEAKABLE, but unarguable from a mathematical and resource-maximizing viewpoint.
“...I can see the value in invading the HVS when they're vulnerable and easy prey, especially if they have outlived their usefulness as a proxy state. But surely, there must be another reason you are so adamant about this.”
“Ahh. That is correct. It is my own failure and shame, truly. I wasn't strong enough. I picked Bantam as my successor, he was an Alpha, and strong. But you proved even more ruthless then him. ~It is a great burden, a father leaves his son, his enemies and his debts, and all his work undone.”
“The Hazaar...”
“Exterminate them. Kill them. Defile their corpses. Burn their villages and all their belongings. Spit in the face of their history. Revel in their destruction. I have spent years of my life and used my privilege as ex-Supreme to hunt down and interrogate many of the prominent figures of the rebellion, the Economist factions and high ranking Hazaar, but this was only a tiny sample of what needs to be done. The filthy bugs have been breeding like mad over there- over a hundred billion of them now, and counting. It makes me SICK.”
“What would the purpose of that be, Wrix? My focus is on protecting the Jaxtian people. How could I ever...”
