Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 185877" data-attributes="member: 2020">TO VENUSVenus posted:  Taraakians, I, Angelika, have a question for you. It is not what you are doing, nor what you are going to do. It is that you explain your actions, the reason you order people, to Lord Iuz. I don't want people to die because their leader is stubborn. If there is a way to save them, I will try to take this option. Now, will you at least talk to Lord Iuz, try to save his people? Please.  Allenthrellus, having failed with Sanctus - very grieved by this, and the implications of this - hears this question from Angelika, and moves to answer.  He communicates, as usual - his race apparently cannot make any sound in the normal physical way:  - - -  We ordered you, rather than requesting, because we realized that a request would garner suspicion.  It was necessary to do something patently ridiculous, in order to pique your curiosity, and make you ask questions.  Questions, such as:    Why would we give an order that we could not enforce, to people who regard us as enemies?  Why would we do such an absurd thing?  What possible reason would we have for acting so strangely?  What agenda are we pursuing?  What are we about?  Had we requested you go to the Kevellond League, that would have been seen as a tactical move.  So we choose to act ridiculously, to force you to ask questions.  Questions that might save you.  Questions that might save your people.  Questions that might save your worlds.  We offered no explanation for our order, and we do not offer an explanation now - we will not do so, until everyone we ordered here, has come here.  You must take our order on faith.  You must accept on faith that our intentions are good.  You must accept on faith that you will benefit from following our order.  Did we not state, after the order was given, that you should trust us?  Did we not state, after the order was given, that you would not regret following our demand?  You must not come here because you are afraid.  You must not come here because you feel coerced.  You must follow our order because you want to follow it.  This most of you have done.  However, not all.    Therefore, we cannot say any more on this matter.</blockquote>
