And then when you tried, the Jove burst your delusional bubble and the Matari wrenched ourselves free. GOOD JOB!
Ah the old Vak'Atioth line..... so classic, so clich+Źd.
Militarily speaking every major empire has suffered a regrettably embarrassing defeat at the hands of one force or another, why this particular one against a foe that defied all four Empire's technological reckoning holds such significance is beyond me.
Modern capsuleers engaging Drifter forces must well understand what it is like to face such incredibly destructive entities. |

Most military organizations don't claim inevitable divine mandate of universal conquest.
Hmmm....a fair point I suppose. However even the faithful err, we are not above mistakes, and I like to believe that in life there is a certain inviolable rule.
"You always pay to learn."
Those lessons are invaluable, perhaps that is what we did at Vak'Atioth. If so then in defeat we have learned to become the wiser for it. |

That depends on what you perceive the lesson to be.

That maybe 'forced conversion at gunpoint' isn't the best way to get results?
And here I was thinking you'd take this discussion moderately seriously..... regardless my shooting back snide comments gains us nothing so perhaps our discussion best end here before we degenerate into petty squabbling. |
