Paradise Violated
You decide that you need to put the team’s minds at ease by giving an inspiring speech. You order that you make a landing at the nearest clearing, when both of the rafts land you gather everyone and begin to speak.
“I know everyone here feels a little uneasy after what I did to Salo, and this exploration we’re going on. Some of you may be wondering if I’m still following the Empire. Well let me say right now, no.”
This revelation is met with shocked silence.
“What has the Empire done for us? Any of us? We’re expected to just die and follow orders. Look at where they sent us! This hellhole of a planet to find resources to support it. We’re like fucking drones sent from the hive to find food to support some great bloated queen. Well I say no more! I see a greater destiny for me, for all of us! With the Xont technology, we could make our own way and break away from the Empire! Others would join us in time. All of you could share in this utopia I see before us! I’ve trusted you all with my life at one time, and I’m asking you to trust me in this. I know this might be scary to break away from the Empire, but I’m asking you not to blindly follow a corrupt system anymore, but to embrace destiny instead. Who’s with me?”
Various members of your team begin to speak amongst themselves and look at each other, but you know they’ll follow you, you can sense they recognize greatness when they see it. One of the solidiers begins to speak.
“You’ve never lead us wrong before sir, and we’ve followed you this long. You’re right, it hasn’t been the Empire that’s looked out for us, it’s been you. We’re with you!”
A cheer goes up, yet still you see two that aren’t so sure. Alyssa and LaFleur. LaFleur you know is a victim of his own cowardice. He is unable to grab destiny when it’s presented before him, but Alyssa…you don’t understand why she feels the way she does. You’re about to talk to her, but LaFleur runs up to you very anxiously.
“Sir! We can’t abandon the Empire! They’ll hunt us down and kill us for treason! They might even have the Indoctrinator Order torture us first! Oh man! Oh man! I can’t take this! I can’t be part of this!” LaFleur start hyperventilating and is nearly in tears at this point.
Something’s going to have to be done, you can’t have this.
