Commander, I've had some time to process
0:12
what transpired with Virgil. Despite the
0:15
manner of what Virgil has done, I cannot
0:18
help but be glad I did not need to slay
0:20
him. I can only hope he does not run a
0:23
foul of further Sentinels. But allowing
0:26
him to live was betraying the
0:28
protectorate, wasn't it? I find myself
0:31
more torn than ever before. And yet, it
0:34
does not feel like a misdeed.
0:54
You're right. Virgil was trapped between
0:57
protectorate laws and only leniency
1:00
could free him. But the fact that such a
1:03
circumstance could happen at all. Having
1:05
good intentions does not spare you.
1:08
Doing what you think is right does not
1:10
spare you. This cannot be justice. Yet
1:14
what can I do? More than a hundred years
1:17
of protectorate society cannot be
1:19
changed by a lone body.
1:35
No, that is a step too far. Despite its
1:39
flaws, I still believe in the
1:40
protectorate. If only the central idea
1:50
I hadn't even considered that. I suppose
1:54
yes, I suppose I am. And if that's the
1:59
case, perhaps I can massage our more
2:02
cruel laws. I shall remain with the
2:05
protectorate, interpreting its laws
2:08
through a moral instead of a punitive
2:10
lens. Innocent until proven guilty is a
2:15
but it is worth a try.
2:25
Despite your glib tone, I understand
2:28
what you touch upon. When we began
2:31
traveling together, I was not sure what
2:32
to make of you, but your input
2:35
throughout our time together has been
2:38
invaluable. I deeply appreciate your
2:41
hand in this investigation, Commander,
2:44
and in entertaining my insert.
