"Honestly, at this point, it should be quite clear why working with me is far more advantageous than opposing me; there is no need for uncontrolled conflict, no need for mass loss of life, and, with our capabilities, we can guide human evolution back to its pinnacle, to the point where we<em>can</em>oppose the things that threaten us. Not just Draiss and myself, but any man can wield our power."<br/><br/>"But, isn't that dangerous? If you give every man the power of the gods?"<br/><br/>"Possibly. But what makes us any more deserving of that power than any other man? True, not<em>all</em>men would wield great power, but those who are deserving and capable should be able to. But first, they must survive long enough to get to that point, and without my defenses, my careful guiding, that may never happen. War, invasion, and so much worse could wipe out all the races, before they can reach their potential, and I want to eliminate those possibilities."<br/><br/>"And your history? If I recall correctly, you and Draiss have battled countless times, over your history. What would make this time any different?"<br/><br/>"Out differences are primarily ideological. I believe that some men are inherently superior to others, and should rule, and have the obligation to protect those beneath them... while Draiss tends more towards beliefs of mutual freedom and unity, seeing my viewpoint as cruel domination, while I see his as anarchic."<br/><br/>"And what's your say, in all of this, dear?"
