[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 9129337, member: 710"] I think the genetic drift was really just some rebel faction trying to undermine the Genetic Dynasty. Just like the Star Bridge's destruction, it's part of society's currents that leads to the downfall of the Empire and thousands of years of barbarism. I think Demerzel cannot hold a too tight grip on Empire, because she must maintain the illusion of them being in charge. And the problem with the level of tech they have is that every security measure also has a counter, some guards and servants inevitable can be manipulated or just bribed... But the genetic drifts might have caused more conflicts, because the Empires are behaving less predictable, at least from a micro-management perspective. From a larger perspective, they are still the same. Like Day can't stop being cruel and vicious, even if he goes out with the intention of achieving peace. He is not just a victim of Cleon's programming, but maybe also the neccessities of the job - if you want to be the absolute ruler of an Empire, you can't be lenient. Of course his entire upbringing neccessarily inflates his ego, too. Not a good combination. Dawn is not there yet and might feel he could act differently, Dusk might be able to grow over it, but it doesn't matter, because Day is in charge. [/QUOTE]
