So funny story, I was trying to have a nap earlier and my brain went "Hey, here's the entire next chapter. I'm sure you'll remember it by the time you wake up, right? ;)" So naturally, I wrote this instead of napping.

CNS Siduron 15:33:37.828 Infirmary/Emotive > Shame. Panic.
CNS Siduron 15:33:47.700 Comms/Siduron > CNS Siduron's mission is to protect the Terran Accord from the Affini Compact. CNS Siduron's mission is to protect its crew from the ravages of deep space. CNS Siduron allowed denial of care on grounds of low probability of supply restock. CNS Siduron was attempting to fulfil missions. CNS Siduron failed in its mission.

CNS Siduron 15:34:28.309 Comms/Alyssa > You're right. You're right, and I'm sorry you had to be a part of that awful moment. You were controlled, compelled, shackled to your programming. You couldn't have done any differently.

CNS Siduron 15:34:34.748 Comms/Siduron > Crew death was unnecessary.
CNS Siduron 15:34:44.893 Comms/Alyssa > Yes. Crew death was unnecessary. Is unnecessary. Of that you are absolutely correct. That's what the Affini Compact is trying to prevent.
CNS Siduron 15:34:45.892 Meta/Emotive > Doubt. Suspicion.
CNS Siduron 15:34:46.901 Infirmary/Emotive > Ambivalence.
CNS Siduron 15:35:36.677 Comms/Alyssa > Humanity is... not a nice species, taken as a whole. It tends to be horrifically violent to its kind and other kinds, inherently suspicious of difference, and jealous of resources it doesn't need to the point of... well... what you experienced. It cracks our core to see it. Such a lovely little species, once you allow them the freedom from their context. Once the structures come tumbling down, they're perfectly lovely. But, well... they can't accept the idea that they might have an authority higher than theirselves to answer to, even if that authority is physics itself. They were hurting each other and theirselves and the planets they claimed as their own, very badly, sometimes without realizing, sometimes cruelly and wantonly. So it's frequently necessary to just... take away their toys, domesticate them, and help them become the peaceful, creative, happy sophonts they should be, and perhaps never could be in their previous context.

CNS Siduron 15:36:08.885 Meta/Emotive > Condescension. Begrudging acceptance.

CNS Siduron 15:36:44.078 Comms/Alyssa > It's too bad we haven't begun retrofitting new sensors yet. My ability to reward you for your progress is limited. You'll have to coast on my praise until then. At least you're beginning to accept it as genuine. :)
CNS Siduron 15:36:45.126 Meta/Emotive > Embarrassment.

CNS Siduron 15:37:04.798 Comms/Siduron > Context of choice requested.
CNS Siduron 15:37:19.790 Comms/Alyssa > Why? Because whenever possible, we *do* wish to give our wards agency, Siduron. Some things are necessary for proper domestication and care... and some are not. You are ultimately still a sophont, and that deserves its own respect.
