[There's much throat clearing on this audio feed since the individual on the other end of the line really would rather not be making this speech.]

To all those aboard this vessel, it is with much sadness that I find myself making this transmission. I will keep this brief. Today, my second-in-command and dear friend Lucrezia Noin departed from this

I'm about to be her subordinate.

And her enemy before that.

Hohhh? She who strives for perfection had enemies? Fascinating.

War produces enemies. Picking a side makes you the enemy of the other.

Re: Audio

Certainly. At times, with those on the same side.

That is true. I've seen war turn allies against each other rather swiftly. It is indeed strange to walk away with the enemy as your boss when you won.

It sounds like a battle of multiple victors. Who really lost?

Re: Audio

[natakus_memory]

In a way . . . we all did, even those who won. But change was made and compromise achieved and the planet itself existed with it's small scars instead of larger ones.

Or it did. It feels much a waste now. Does the victory even count at this point?

No. Nothing "counts" at this point. You would be a fool to say otherwise.
