[QUOTE="dvvega, post: 1966406, member: 524"] If they know of the obliteration ... EVIL indeed. Since they're advisors to their people they will obviously know something UNLESS they're simply the equivalent of computer databases. With the memories and knowledge of their past selves without the ability to grow and learn. If they're not the database equivalent then they must also be able to think/feel. It is entirely possible that after decades/centuries of "living in a sphere" they have gotten fed up with their situation and alignment shifts have occurred. But I'm guessing this isn't the case otherwise you wouldn't have posted something about it. As for the argument that alignment should be removed, I disagree. Even our modern world is governed by morality in one form or another. How you see someone in real life is based on your upbringing, your likes/dislikes, your current mood, a lot of things, however you can boil most of your feelings/perceptions down to an underlying tendency of behaviour.
