Dannylonglegs Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Civil building Farmolis "She claims that it gets easier.... When?... When will I be able to close my eyes and not see her blood-soaked hands reaching up to me? When will I cease to feel its warmth seeping through my jacket, inducing horripilation. Why do I still hear her voice in my head, muttering, in broken common... "help me..." Why could I not help her? Why did I freeze? Why was I horrified? Is that not my driving force? The reason I do everything that I do? To help people? "How did my actions lead to this event?... I made a poor judgement of character when I entrusted so much power to a member of a cruel species. I cannot blame the Oni-Ren though. We all act as our nature compels us... I can only truly control my own actions... and now I am wondering the halls at night.... doubting even that. "Should I resign?" "Has my judgement become so compromised that I am no longer fit to carry out my duties as chief administrative officer of the Axle, and Second Branch Executive? Have I broken my vow to Octan and myself to act in Octan's best interests always, and perform only morally just actions in the name of our fine corporation?... I cannot be sure.... and that scares me. I don't often feel... unsure." "Have I gone too far? Is the massacre at Onix's Capitol truly on my hands?" ".... .... ...." "No." "It is President Jinx who is wrong. She is the one who made the order, She is the one who misused Octan equipment and abused our trust. The Queen was a tyrant and needed to be stopped, but Jinx was supposed to have been reasonable. How could I have known they were all the same?... Maybe I should have... But this will not happen again. Her death is not on my hand, but Jinx's... and those hands will be watched. Very closely. No... This will not happen again. I will not allow it. "No. I cannot allow it. How could I have thought that this situation would improve if I turned over responsibility of it. That would be lazy, and un-befitting an individual of my competence. I'll have to see this all through... We've come too far to let Ba'al Ba'al Jinx's idiocy come in the way of mining Onix and improving the way of life of their people. It will take time, but surely we can teach them to improve themselves. We've done far greater things before, after all." "And besides, I cannot resign when there's so much work to be done. There's discoveries to be made. Species to catalog... Gates to open.... No. My place is on the Axle, in the spinal chord of the glorious body of our grand corporation. "The natural course of the universe is descent into entropy. I can only do so much to maintain order... but the universe needs a firm, guiding hand, to help stave off the darkness." Judges: this is the same build (with like ten exchanged pieces) as my Contest entry for Nar Eubrikka. Feel free to grade it as a fig on a plate for that reason. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 15, 2016 by Dannylonglegs Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted October 15, 2016 Author Posted October 15, 2016 Super sorry all for the wait. I had three tests this week. TExt has been updated. Took a while to think her rationalizations through, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Enjoy! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
