6: The Revelation Will Not Be Televised

It's embarrassing that you haven't gotten it done yet. Stop being so forgetful and just do it.

She desired power and it led to suffering.

She desired safety and it led to suffering.

She desired justice and it led to suffering.

A million more desires compounds the suffering. Reasonable or unreasonable, the result was the same.

They are all reaching. For those you fulfilled, did it change anything?

"That which refuses to serve must be cast into darkness."

That which is fed fear will become feared. That which is fed power becomes powerful. What becomes of that which is fed empathy?

Those who came to kill. Those who were to be saved. Both fell to tragedy wrought by desire. Yet it did not matter; both were graciously saved.

The proper steps must be followed. A single mistake leads to death. Only through the exact and proper observation of ritual can survival be assured.

Subject E-98472 Age: Older than Time Affinity: Unmatched Notes: Despite their excellent affinity, their extreme concern for the other subjects is an unavoidable moral failing. Canonizing them might be the best course of action to ensure proper behavior among the rest of the subjects if they do not show signs of developing a proper Imperial mindset.

Subject F-21118 Age: Abstract Affinity: Respectable Notes: They are a promising candidate, having adapted quickly to the training, but the issues that come with a foreign upbringing cast doubt as to their suitability for sensitive tasks. Observations have noticed a fondness for certain types of media. Empire-approved examples might be able to sway them to proper values.

Subject J-12956 Age: Irrelevant Affinity: Unremarkable Notes: Extremely impressionable. While this has so far led to them hanging off of the words of more assertive candidates, with the proper circumstances, they can be guided to be an exemplary example of loyalty. Should this come to pass, they would be an excellent example to use in public facing roles.

Before the empire, there was the Royal Family. While the royalty of older times were sometimes wise, kind rulers, the last King was a despot. As wars raged outside the borders of what would become the heart of the Empire, the king, a man sick in both body and soul, sought only to cure himself of his ailments. It was during this time that her Holiness, then a simple researcher, developed the first Divine Entity. It was a beneficent creation, one intended to heal the sick. Unfortunately the king was quick to make moves to seize it for his own personal use, slaying much of the Empress's support staff in the process. It was only by divine providence that she was not present when it happened. It was with great reluctance that she turned her divine research towards more violent means. The mad king's forces were helpless against the holy might she created, but our Empress was a humble soul. She at first refused to take power herself, but inevitably, the in-fighting that occurred after the mad king was deposed forced her hand. So it was that the Grand Empire was born.

Where did you go? Why don't you call out? Don't you think you're being cold? Just give it a chance.
