I mean, I understand that the humans are the bad guys in this story, but being one of them, I'm really having a hard time feeling wonderful about an entire room being indiscriminately killed and replaced.
It's for the greater good, I guess. >.<
On a related note, I had calamari a few days ago. I thought of the last installment of this story and, rather than being put off, laughed and continued eating. I'm not sure if that makes me a lunatic or not. Help?
Well, good and bad are kind of a question of perspective, isn't it? Are the Cephs truly the good guys?
And I think it's only natural to want to make sure the Cephs don't evolve that far :P Eat away!
That's a bit of a dangerous question, @suesa. You risk raising questions that are more applicable to our real society than not.
The racist humans in this story are certainly being evil, that's for sure. At least that is my opinion. I was thrilled when Michael was killed. He deserved it.
But this wiping out a whole floor thing.... Sure, they're all probably unfeeling bureaucrats, and they all worked for the bad guy after all. But can you be evil in your actions against evil beings? I think so.
In the end, on the moral judgement of what the Cephs are doing here.... well, the victor will write the history books. Winners of war commit no war crimes.
Indeed, this story makes me question vegans' sanity even more than I already did. Look at the crisis they're enabling, @suesa! Is this what they want? A terrorist insurgency spearheaded by a race of sentient and very pissed off calamari?!
Crazy soymilk-chugging weed-eaters! You're killing us all!
Oh, I think you misunderstood, the floor being cleared meant they removed everyone from the premises. Converting 10 humans is already a lot of work, tired humans in the way is the last thing they want.
And I'm kind of waiting for the illuminati to kill me any day.
Oh yeah, I definitely misunderstood this part:
I took this to mean they were all being converted. Oops. Well, that changes things a bit. Who cares about some billionaire capitalist investors? Kill them all!
please don't drone me i was joking
