After much inactivity I have returned. My new character is Irsian Palinev (My previous character's successor as High Commander of the Verviedyn Imperial Navy)

Camera AI: Input Accepted. Replaying...
Palinev: I do not care what Earth needs. What WE need is what matters, and the Emperor demands we stay here.
Althicrion: You remember the first war. You were a mere Talon commander, but you remember.
Palinev: I remember you [unintelligible]. You know what happened after that.
Althicrion: What the endermen did with that tech does not matter. They already would have developed...
Palinev: A BATTLESHIP! You crashed an entire BATTLESHIP. Do you know how much that [unintelligible] technological development? Do you know what happens when an inferior species gets control of... Let's see here, 11,000 tachyon rifles, 150,000 pulsars, 65,000 exosuits, millions of gravimetric impellers, and an entire [unintelligible] of the latest computation engines?

Palinev: I am activating Command Procedure 49 in 60 seconds if you don't get off my bridge.
Althicron: You would not dare.

Althicron: Ate you challenging me to a duel? Insolent welp!
Palinev: 20 seconds.
Althicron: Very well. I accept your challenge. Now, we you stop the countdown? Weapons...? I choose...
Palinev: Yes...?
Althicron: Tachyon Lashers at two paces.
Palinev: You... WHAT? Are you insane?
Althicron: You said it yourself. I have nothing to lose. My career is ruined after that fiasco with the endermen. Logically, the best course in a duel I would lose anyway is to bring you down with me.
Palinev: Very well. I forfeit. I will step down if you wish.
Althicron: That will not be necessary. Set course for Earth.
