[Video] Arrival

[generalgrievous]

[Was that a mask? The visual shows what appears to be some sort of skeletal alien mask and the voice that accompanies it sounds oddly mechanical. Some here may recognize the cyborg General, even if just from historical records. While arriving as human, he'd quickly discovered his powers of transformation from the files he was given then after some brief experimenting he settled on the one he'd last been most familiar with. At least for now.]

Citizens. Heroes.

[The emphasized word seems to catch in his throat and there's a brief cough before he continues with an underlying growl to his tone.]

This is an unfortunate development. I was interrupted in the midst of a critical battle. I do not have time to deal with your little world's problems.

[The words are interrupted again by more coughing then an annoyed growl before the video cuts out abruptly.]

You have an obsession. You'll never feel satisfied.

video

[generalgrievous]

I will be satisfied when the last of the Jedi are dead and erased from the memory of history.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

No, you won't. Killers never are.

video

[generalgrievous]

I am not a killer. We are in a war and I am dispensing justice.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Wanting every single member of a group dead and gone sounds like more than a war.

video

[generalgrievous]

They deserve that and more for what they've done.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

People always have their reasons to kill. Have you even met all of them?

video

[generalgrievous]

There are far too many of them to meet as individuals.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

But you judge them anyway. I know what that's like. People judged me for things my dad did. It sucks.

video

[generalgrievous]

I judge them for their actions and they all follow the same mindless doctrine.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Doctrine, beliefs, religions, often seem strange to those that don't follow them.

video

[generalgrievous]

Their arrogance is easily understood.

[As if he can talk about being humble.]

Re: video

[am_i_a_monster]

Arrogance is a death penalty offence where you're from? That must cut down on the population.

video

[generalgrievous]

Destroying an entire race of beings due to their narrow-minded ways is grounds enough for a retaliation in return.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Is that what you're doing? Destroying an entire group? It won't end.

video

[generalgrievous]

It ends when the last Jedi is dead.

Why do you think that will not be satisfaction enough?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Because I've known people obsessed with killing. It never stops.

video

[generalgrievous]

You don't know me.

Re: video

[am_i_a_monster]

I know you want to kill.

video

[generalgrievous]

I want to kill the Jedi.

[He won't deny that.]

Or any Huk that may have found their way here.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

And after that?

video

[generalgrievous]

Unless there is cause for a war then are you expecting me to kill random people?

[He's not against using innocents as distractions in wartime and that may get them killed but he's not about going out of his way to kill them directly unless there's some purpose. Disregarding any random angry outbursts of temper where accidents may happen... or special orders from Count Dooku.]

video

[am_i_a_monster]

I expect they wouldn't be random to you. They'll have similar beliefs. Or beliefs you think are similar. They'll have had the wrong friends, or look the ones you killed before. Something. You'll find a reason to justify it.

video

[generalgrievous]

Who are you to think you can judge?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Asks the man judging who gets to live and die.
