=== Interlude: Civil War (Caretakers)=== "Yes, they are here." All assembled in the room expected this news. Yet it sends a ripple of alteration through the room as though you had announced the death of the entire Council of Overlords. Secretly, you and everyone else here had been hoping that the hated Usurpers died upon Planetary entry. Now you know this is not the case. "This changes nothing!" Smoothly you alter the entire hum of conversation, to lend emphasis to your meaning. "The plan goes forward as we agreed. The Usurpers must die, and we must continue our quest to contact the Homeworld, that Manifold Six may remain pristine. Are we committed unto the death of one or the other of us?" Many on the council look uncomfortable, their eyes blinking rapidly. You can understand their feelings--the Caretaker cause is dedicated to peace and the status quo. This destructive posture is not in keeping with your stated goals. Finally, Kaala L'mota articulates what the others are obviously thinking. "Can we not try once more to reach an accord with the Usurper leader, Marr? In such a dire circumstance, even he might see the wisdom of cooperation." "I am sorry, my friends," you alter sharply, expressing your regret and displeasure at the same time. "Think of the Usurper cause: they wish to gain Transcendence with Manifold Six. We know what happened at Tau Ceti when the Flowering was allowed to occur. Destruction. Death." You see the fear on all faces, their mandibles drawn tight to their mouths. "We all know this--including the Usurper, Marr," you continue. "And yet they continue on their quest for Transcendence. We cannot understand this. They move inexorably toward death! We have asked, begged, fought, and died to prevent this, and still they come. Surely, a small thing such as this shipwreck will not alter their plan. No, my friends, we must be firm in our resolve. Death, or freedom for Manifold Six. Do you agree?" Your words are altered, one by one, by each member of the council. They all assent.
