Chapter 9 - Reaffirmation
I had doubts as to whether what I did was right when I refused to give food to the Thrax we had in captivity. What I did was right. There is no question anymore. What they do to us in their prisons is not even similar to what we did to that creature.
Yes, we refused food for a time, and yes, we even drugged the food we did give him. We didn’t gut him and explore his innards though. At some point we draw the line and that’s something that our enemy can not say.
The lucky ones in Torcastra are killed before they are experimented on. The less lucky are experimented on before they are dead, and the least lucky of all are kept alive. The things they do make my blood boil. No one should be forced to go through what they did.
I’m beginning to get the feeling that this war cannot be won. Every turn we stop them at they are able to start up somewhere else, doing something even more heinous than before. We haven’t liberated any planet yet and we know of at least a few that they are on. If we can’t get them off these planets, what can we do about Earth? Perhaps more importantly, what have they done to Earth? Will it even be a planet worth going back too?
I’ve seen the things they’ve done to parts of Foreas and it isn’t pretty. Everything they get near just becomes a wasteland. I don’t know if I want to go back to Earth and see that, I’m not sure I would be able to handle the beautiful landscape turned ugly. All I have left are my memories of home to keep me going, and if they turn out to be wrong, what’s the point? Each one of us, I think gets up every day because we believe we are fighting for our home. Sure we’ll help out on Foreas, or we’ll help out on Arieki but at the end of the day what I think each and every one of us wants is to go back to Earth, to go back home. I hope the memories aren’t the only thing that remain of it.
