How the hell are you getting into my quarters? Satja or I would wake up.....

Damn you are sneakier than I thought.

Hardly. You are unstable, dangerous, and woefully unpredictable. The perfect clone is the obedient and stable clone. 3rd Gens like myself are good, but 4th or 5th Gen are vastly superior.

Are you sure of that, Mr. Trifarn? As much as I like the Templar Crusader, he would see your people re-enslaved, and eventually mine taken or converted, as well-- to what he understands to be a good end, yes, but we, liking our own cultures and beliefs, might disagree. If he favors peace between the empires, it will be only for so long as that peace furthers that end.

The Templar Crusader's dream of peace is a conqueror's dream of humanity united in service to the Amarrian god, and no worlds left to conquer.

That is largely what the Gallente wanted, and thought, and seemingly still think, templar.

We are comfortable with our own ways of life, our own ways of being, our own communities. We do not find it any more lonely than we did when we were isolated on our homeworlds and far more literally alone. Certain of us are happy to trade with outsiders; others would prefer that we retreat into seclusion almost entirely. I personally understand the former group, but sympathize more with the latter.

There are things we can learn from beyond our borders, but some lessons and beliefs, valid in their own contexts, are corrosive in ours. Gallentean individualism, which demands cultural liberalism, is a prime example. Its influence on our elites would make our nation an abusive plutocracy, and has done so before. The resulting tide of anger from the lower castes is what swept Tibus Heth into power.

If we believe in the validity and integrity of our ancestors' ways of life, in its applicability and worth in our own existences, then we should seek to preserve those ways. We seek to preserve what we have, and to fend off those who would change us.

We are a set of deeply conservative peoples.

For my own part, I view the Achur faith as a jewel of insight, which the State shelters and protects. I would see the rest of human society crumble to dust and ashes before I let that jewel come to harm.

That is who I am, templar, first and foremost: a defender of my culture and faith.

Question mark, please.

Also, I like it when they get feisty.

I digress.
I actually like having multiple personas. Mostly because they allow me to multi-task, mentally. Not only that, but they give me one unique ability.
The ability to inhabit more than one clone body at a time.
