[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 181080, member: 2020"] Yes, 'o Skoteinos. The taraakians are allying with your Power. They are offering to take some or all of your people to safety, while they deal with those they consider enemies. You must state you want your people taken to safety, of course, or they will not do so. - - - THE REPLY OF THE ALLIANCE TO SIOBHAN The leader of the Alliance of Dread regards Siobhan darkly, and speaks: You are a coward. A pathetic coward. You would give up this world, and your freedom, to a bunch of pasty-faced birdmen and birdwomen. You DO realize, don't you, that once the taraakians win - IF they win, of course - that they will have Carte Blanche over all of you? Just what do you think will happen then?! They may or they may not keep their agreement with you. They are not so lofty they cannot change their minds. Then, that vaunted freedom of yours will be GONE, gone for good, and YOU will have participated in your own enslavement. We expected wisdom from the Seelie, of all beings. Wisdom, and true understanding. You know very well the hearts of mortals, and the taraakians are mortals just like everyone else. Do you REALLY believe that everyone in their Star Empire WILLINGLY joined? Do you really believe they just got up and said: we'll turn it all over to the birdmen and have done? Do you actually, really believe the taraakians did not actively move to conquer? You sit there in your smugness, sure of victory, stating you will attack us when we have spared your life. So be it. If we die, we will die an honest death, at the hands of our enemies. You, however, will not die, but will suffer a fate far worse than death - slavery. When your vaunted freedom is gone, when the birdmen have locked you up in the velvet prison, when you finally realize they are not the lofty people they pretend to be, THEN you will regret that you did not stand up for yourself, for your people, for your rights, and fight back. Then you will realize your mistake. And at that point, it will be just a little too late. You are a disgrace and a coward. We don't want your alliance. We wouldn't accept your alliance if you offered it. We want REAL fighters as our allies, people who will stand and die for their beliefs, their world, and their freedom. You choose slavery to these birdmen, you choose to turn a blind eye to what you know is true - the true nature of these birdmen, and you think yourself very clever. We will see who is clever. We, are going to fight. And we, are going to win. The birdmen aren't going to tell US what to do, or how to run our affairs. [/QUOTE]
