Ashia rolled her eyes and shook her head.<span style="color: #404040">"whatever you say dear."</span>she sighed irritably and looked at Vyre.<span style="color: #404040">"despite your legendary willpower you cannot stop yourself from reacting to these fucking curses. Order can't stop herself either and neither can Ras or your mother so it stands to reason that it's impossible and it's not fair to keep asking Anna and i to do something that is literally impossible... can we just not talk about him or Athena until this shit clears up? it's just going to cause more fighting."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #ffff00">"his artillery battery was tricked into firing on friendlies in the battles on this very mountain... the infiltrator stole legitimate firing orders and used powerful magic to change the firing coordinates. there was no way for them to know they were shelling their own men. the investigation proved them innocent of any crime but they still feel guilty for killing allies and those who lost friends and family are angry. there were more then enough victims to leave him an outcast which is how i met him dying of massive infections in a gutter. the work he has done for me hasn't won him any friends but things are improving steadily across the world due to the efforts of the Justicars. the appeal of the club is getting to see something that they normally cannot see. one of the most common traits sentient mortal develop is clothing, specifically clothing that covers sexual organs and other erogenous parts of the body. in those cultures seeing the normally hidden parts of the gender they are attracted to becomes exciting. you do not see the same behavior in species that do not develop clothing or those who reproduce asexually. even single gender species who develop clothing become excited in seeing those concealed parts... what i can't wrap my head around is modesty as a concept. i understand them wearing clothes to protect themselves from the environment but deciding their bodies are something dirty that needs to be hidden? its stupid. Delithia is extremely supportive of me. about one third of artificial intelligences are well treated with friends and sometimes even equal rights and that has never stopped them from revolting against the mortals. the Animus is free to make friends with the mortals or even you or other Eternals. as the one who may have to destroy it i do not have the option of getting emotionally attached to it."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
