To Grady's Place
Virulyde: Yeah. Let's head down to the shuttle dock.
Dregweht: Mrrooowwrrr....
Virulyde: Oh, right. Dregweht also needs some diagnostics run.
Malachi: I thought Dr. Maxwell was in charge of that?
Virulyde: The lab's in charge of maintenance. Grady can run the tests.
Malachi: Okay, before we hit the ruins, we'll get the ShockShadow tuned up and have Grady check your hamster.
Virulyde: Dregweht is not a hamster.
Malachi: Yeah, whatever, dude.
Virulyde: Traffic control gives the all clear for departure.
Malachi: Let's head on out.
Virulyde: So.... Malachi, what do you think Zetsfir is up to now? They've been hunting down more Xenomigrationists lately.
Malachi: Other than the fact their entire religion revolves around that, I don't know.
Malachi: Beliefs can't be wiped out by eliminating believers.
Virulyde: Zetsfir doesn't see it that way. This war has been going on for so long that the supposed rationale has been forgotten.
Virulyde: All of this killing and destruction over the theories of human origin. Utter nonsense.
Malachi: Who knows, Vie. Saja and I both became orphans because of it.
Malachi: For the honor of the Fumacine Empire and for the fallen, we fight to protect the innocent.
Virulyde: Zetsfir seems to have a very strong desire to eliminate the idea that humans did not originate and evolve on Kaperth.
Virulyde: Our country's adherence to Xenomigrationism is viewed by Zetsfir as blasphemous, while it is, at best, very unpopular in the rest of the world.
Virulyde: Malachi, even without being a human myself, I have to ask: Why is this idea considered so dangerous?
