"He is still alive."

"The intelligence was sound."

"He is still alive."

"Do you really think he is the problem?"

"He is hardly the solution."

"Agreed."

"So it is the sleen on your heels or the larl at your throat, is it?"

"So it would seem."

"I choose neither."

"If you do not make a choice, a choice will be made regardless."

"Perhaps the time has passed for picture-painting and slogan-craft."

"You may be right, old friend."

"Is it better to be ruled by the sublimely apathetic or the ambitiously corrupt?"

"I choose neither."

"As you say, if you do not make a choice, a choice will be made regardless."

"Perhaps I spoke in haste."

"How so?"

"What if there were a third option?"

"That is intriguing Kaissa, Player."

"Intriguing, certainly. Dangerous, assuredly. And I am hardly a Player."

"We are all far more than we seem these days."

"We are of Ar."

"We are Giants."

"Both are true."
