Meeting at the Citadel

"Then take it all. We have never stopped you. The Triumvirate was a foundation of the trust. To swear to duty to protect to persevere, and to eliminate the opposition of those ideologically opposed... The Order. The Core. Do you feel the mutual tasking has failed you? The destruction of those who harmed you? Of those who seek to destroy your legacy? We have not attempted to harm you, or even thought of such. Do you feel that our services of helping you reunite with your lost kin within the other voids did not help you? We offer our services, all it requires is your inquiry. Many possibilities remain to solidify trust... Destruction, invention, creation, learning, manipulation... Task us. Allow us to prove our indifference to Humanity's destructive loop. Even if you reject us here, we know how futile it is to waste our energy on brutish extermination. Power is not our desire. "

He had hoped that this was not a sell out, signs of frustration came across his mind. He would not usually be privy to Directorate level discussions, now understanding why they kept their doors closed tight from the ranks.
