Violent Streak

That horrible, vacant stare in her eyes...

Elma doesn't mean it lightly when she talks of fostering positive relations and harmony with all those who may inhabit Mira, for any length of time. She would not harbor ill will against the Ganglions had they not committed all those atrocities both here and back on Earth.

So, she feels more than guilty making a visual judgement on Goetia's merits, or lack thereof. But guilt is, in some ways, all the conscion she has left.

"So calm, Elma. So dignified," Goetia purrs into her ear. "It's almost like you're not one of those humans you disgrace yourself to protect."

"Disgrace? What disgrace? You know my planet was wiped out just the same. I'm sure I'm not righteous."
