that way, we cannot be accused of obfuscating that ugly part of our mutual history.

And I think that's why we would trust you. That sort of upfront honesty would be a breath of fresh air. I think it would rub off on us too. And perhaps even some of our better qualities unto you guys. I think we may be the yin to your yang.

E: We can tell when something bitter is coated in honey, even if we don't know exactly how, and we've been eating that for far too long.

I think we can forgive as a whole. You guys aren't the only ones to have wrecked this world. And better we were wrecked rather than becoming total slaves.

It might take some hiccups and digestion, but I think we would in the end. I think we would feel closer and trust you guys more than anyone else for having forgiven. That's just in our nature, and maybe there's a reason for that. Two negatives make a positive after all.

You're a pretty nice guy for being a genocidal war parrot.

In all serious though, I can only imagine how different a being could be across such a long span of time. And the circumstances were very different. I can understand your anger and hatred towards us back then.

Neither we nor you are really the same now though. Some times people who start as bitter enemies can become the closest of friends.

E: And in case it could somehow help you in your current situation, I personally forgive you for your past sins against us. Concentrating on sins of the past will just beget more sin.

“In absence of a moon to light the night, a moth will follow dancing fireflies.”

That's beautiful.

That's what I'm actually doing. I'm trying to feel out patterns that may get us out of this. How would I be any better than the Siriv if I might have an inkling of horror coming to my fellow man, and then do and say nothing?

I don't think they're as superior as they think. As you've said, they've tainted our sciences and mentality about it. And wouldn't 6000 years be kinda true if you were only thinking about the "world" in terms of the "version?":

But the adult is also a stranger, and doesn't want you to burn down the house because they want to rent out the rooms and who knows what else.

So it's only fitting that we defend what is ours. Even if that means burning down the house, just so that asshole can't rent out the rooms.

E: What sort of neighborhood is this anyway? Help the damn kid.

universe with an industry that revolves around something other than the postponement of death through the continual conquest of another’s birthrights.

When the Buddhists claim the Chinese are messing with reincarnation, is this what they are referring to?

I think I misunderstood who you were referring to. I wish I could send my appreciation to all those who help us. Helping an intelligent beings that aren't aware of your sacrifice, and look nothing like you, has to be one of the most selfless acts possible.

Thank you for what you do. I hope someday we will make you and the calibrators proud to have helped us.

E: Btw I deleted the post because I don't want to even flirt with speaking ill of the ones selfless enough to help us, or to discourage them in any way. Anyone who does that has nothing but my gratitude. I apologize if any such being felt insulted or attacked.
