But, among those things, there is one other thing it does too- grant you a serene sense of calm at the thought of violence and pain. Extreme pain and cruelty does not phase you in the slightest, especially while you wear this mask, your empathy for life has gone away totally. This is important- as this is what allows the trauma of intergenerational obedience. Enemies cannot merely be snuffed out- but brought as low as possible and tormented to the end. Make sure people <span class="mu-i">know</span> what happened to them. That is how you create obedience. It is the foundation of the Hegemony itself.
There is only one thing left to decide. The origin of this all- the <span class="mu-i">traitor</span>- Yuan'Tul Scholiander. The xeno. The enemy. As soon as Cijan told you he was behind it- you had him safely arrested and put into custody, so as he could not kill himself to escape your judgment. While surprisingly few of the Blue Hazaar are his co-conspirators, it is revealed that his hatred of your species, planned disruption, and disobedience are all at the forefront of his mind when he created and proliferated the books.
It is time to decide a punishment for Yuan. And, if what your technicians say is true, the life machine has exactly one charge left. That gives you a few ideas...
>Turn him into a low-ranking, low-intelligence Jaxtian laborer to live out the rest of his life
>Transform him into a truly pathetic creature that only feels pain with an especially long lifespan
>Just shoot him
>Give him the traditional punishment for traitors
>Other? (Write In)
