USH'S ORIGINAL TRILOGY GAME EPISODE I 'LANZAR'- Rebel Alliance Thread

"They've surrendered," Galahad says. "By doing that, they are defenseless, unable to contest us, accepting that they were in the wrong to attack us. They are not criminals; they are prisoners of war. They cannot fight us, that is what matters. There is no need to execute them. Justice will be served to those that have not laid down their arms against us."

"They did noit attack us! We attacked them!" says Vasilik, proudly. "I do noit understand what you mean by this 'prisoner of war'... the loser in a war dies! This is obvious."

"Only in combat, Vasilik. They have surrendered and are seeking mercy. If we do not act mercifully on them, then we are no better than the Empire!"

"Fight was combat! Troopers lost fairly. Now all face justice in pit. Different from Empire. They come here, to our home."

"If you execute them, the difference is not that great," Galahad says. "Executing them means you're killing them, just as the Empire would."

"Yes! Empire come to kill every Osokan here! Show us no mercy. No pity. Male, female, child, all dead. They pay price. There is no other way."

"But the stormtroopers are no longer a threat and have caused no harm. At least, these ones have not. They should be spared; I promise that if you spare these ones, you can kill all the others. Those stormtroopers will not stand down."

"No! Of course not. No time to stand down in fight. They either win or die. No standing downing."

"Thankyou, Vasilik," says Drakkon. "Go and organise your Lodge."

Vasilik nods, and departs.

"It's all very well for you to say such things," says Drakkon. "You get to go back to your comfortable home when all this is done. But those people... my people out there, face annihiliation of everything they have ever known; their lives, their homes, their families. And you will find the average Osokan far less open to new ideas than Vasilik. They will niot be stopped. They won't even understand what you are asking."

"Maybe eventually your people will be more open to such things," Galahad says. "But I suppose now is not the time for such changes..."

"There will never be such a time," says Drakkon. "You talk like Andran did. But he had a different approach."

"What was his approach?" Galahad asks.

"He told me of another world in the Empire... or the Old Republic. named Kashyyk."

The stormtroopers are being dragged up the steps of the justice pit, screaming for mercy.

Doubtless the others are watching on with a bit more sympathy, but Scarlet simply watches on, unmoved by the cries.

The Empire took my family, Scarlet thinks to herself. Now, we're taking theirs.

"Ah. The homeworld of the Wookiees...forced into servitude after waging war against the invading Empire..."

(I feel that sense of impending mission doom again. But I wonder if it the Osokans really are wrong. Drakkon made some very good points. Darn moral dillemas. Can anyone think of somethink for Galahad to say to move Drakkon? Or the Osokans at the Pit?)

The fact that none of us can speak Osokan does not help...

Perhaps Galahad could remind Drakkon that the Empire plans to annihilate the entire planet's population, and that the Stormtroopers could be effective as bargaining chips?

(Well, if it actually came down to having to stop the Osokans, we all speak a fairly common language: Blasters. But that would be a bad bad thing.)

Eh, I don't think the Empire would bargain for the stormtroopers. They're fairly uncaring...

And pulling guns on the Osokan populace...yeah, we might as well just jump in the Justice Pit with them.

yea, I dunno what we can do about the stormies..
Anyway, we should be also focusing on how we could kill the Imps...
