"And I believe in Choice, and will see what he has done, and learn WHY he chose that. The biggest issue we ever had between us was that he had an unfortunate tendency to bombard planets from orbit, rather than try to evacuate people.

Now that the screaming has lessened, the corruptions aren't in control of most of me, and most of the trauma has been dulled. Or at least, dulled enough that my first reaction to someone coughing behind me or mind speaking isn't to turn and try to kill them."
