Did you enjoy that? Did you enjoy breaking my hologram? It's nice to know you wouldn't have thought twice before killing me... They're all dead, you know. The people on this planet that is. All the escape ships where destroyed on their way out of the atmosphere. As I stood here waiting for you to come in, I read the names of my crew as they died. Every time a shot rang out from you I saw another name scroll by on my terminal...
...What happened to you? Three hours ago you were hell-bent on destroying those balls of evil. And just when you got to their hearts you pulled your fist from their wounds and headed in my direction...
...Did you realise that as soon as you finished with them you would have no more reasons to kill? Did you decide that in order to prolong your genocide you had to weaken the other side enough? You're a war machine. In the truest sense of the phrase too. You aren't alive, nor are you dead. You're just there. Your body knows it is nothing but destruction, but I thought that your soul might know something else. That is why I activated you in the first place when we found you in the hulk of some dead ship long abandoned. You don't remember that do you? All you'd do when we woke you was scream about "failing the colonists". You tried to kill yourself countless times but your body just wouldn't die. That is why we had to erase your past. To give you peace...
...Now I looks like you've managed to give my crew their peace. The doors are locked but there is a way out of this room. This terminal has a rift pad aimed at the Pfhor ship you just left. I destroyed the controls, so don't try to go anywhere else. You might end up inside a rock. This leaves you with a choice... Stay here, and wait for the ship's core to go nova, or you can go finish what you started with Joshua. I leave it to you... ...Enjoy your un-life. I won't be seeing you again if I'm right about you.
