"Modernization" sure is a funny euphemism for eradicating a culture.

No, Rabo, it doesn't count because I'm talking about the thousands of Rive'ni who don't fit into your parochial view of fundamentalist hunt importance, not Gehn himself.

People not being forced to spend their lives in a jungle and instead having the choice to do literally anything else without being exiled is what I would consider modernization, yes.

You were Nenio, yourself. I have no idea if you still use the term, but it's important, because:

That is exile. Wildlanders having to leave society for not fitting into the rigid traditional molds is awful. Maybe you aren't a fan of industrialization on any larger scale, which, fine, but you're lying to yourself if you cannot see the narrow bands of Riven's traditions for what they are to those who don't fit in.

I'm well aware of what I am, thank you very much. Forgive us simple, primitive savages if we object to being used for experimentation, concentrated to a single island while he galavants about the other four, taught only a foreign, alien culture in mandatory schools so that a man who believed himself a god might escape our world and leave us to die.

I don't particularly care what any outsider has to say on the worth of our traditions. But you're a fool if you think Gehn didn't want to eradicate them in favor of D'ni culture.

Emi, I have just had a long conversation with some others who are here in Everdunes about this very topic - that is, that the varbani way of life was rigid and constraining, especially for those whose talents did not lend to the hunt.

Gehn has never been a warm or approachable person, but if we had not accepted him--if our parents hadn't--we would not have the guilds, we would not have had steam power, we would definitely not be traveling to other worlds. If you're here, it's because of him and those who have worked with him.

And all it took was a cruel, tyrannical regime where dissent was punishable by death; truly, he was a visionary. Riven and her people may have died in the process, but the glory of Gehn would have lived on if only it weren't for those darn malcontents who didn't want to be fed to a fish or thrown into the Star Fissure for the crime of doubting his divine power.

Progress at any price, I'm told they say.

If there's one thing I value in my leaders as a resistance fighter, it's a detached objectivity and not, you know, a righteous anger and the will to get the job done.

Or die trying.

I have expressed my views in private, but to repeat them here:

Gehn can�t be trusted. Those who align themselves with Gehn can�t be trusted. This is a terrible idea. If our Guild Leader wishes to remain hidden, we should respect her wishes.

As ever, this is the correct position. Gehn cannot and must not be trusted or dealt with.

My primary concern is that someone - be it my sister or someone else she's with - is using the Communicators to manipulate us into doing their bidding. Which, ironically, is what brought me to Gehn in the first place.

I understand why people don't trust me, but I promise that I wouldn't be asking permission over general communications if I was planning anything duplicitous. If... uh, people want to discuss this with me, and are willing to adhere to a truce, I'm willing to do so face to face.

If the will of the Inventor's Guild is that I never go near it, I understand.

You are already a traitor after you betrayed the trust of the Moeity, stole key materials and ran off to Gehn.

Let no one be fooled by this nonsense. Her word is worth nothing.

Rabo, we know how you feel. Maybe it should be up to the guild members to decide.

You, once again, are speaking of things that you don't know anything about.

I was there, coward. Just because she wasn't a rebel does not absolve her. She attacked one of ours and stole the materials after making the appearance of working with us to save Riven and stop Gehn.

We trusted her with our plans and access and she betrayed that trust.

Well, I think that's all that needs to be said about Rabo's position and how much his word should be trusted.

He'd willingly kill half of this own people before they weren't actively fighting in the rebellion.

You can trust me to tell you where I stand, that's true enough. Which is more than can be said for scum like you.

If I were to say anything good about Kerath, it would be that even he is not a backstabber.

# ¿ May 4, 2019 22:16

Rhjamiz: Oct 28, 2007

And of course I'd kill any collaborators. They were the enemy. We were fighting a war for survival, or did Gehn convince you otherwise?

CapitalistPig posted:

Rabo, Friend, I understand your distaste for Gehn. Trust me.

He has actively said he has no desire to return to Riven, Riven is whole once more despite his attempts to destroy it.

Shouldn't we be focused on freeing Riven from its current occupiers instead?

I am. In addition to the need to bring him to justice, Gehn also has information we need to deal with the Chocs. He must be put to the question.

# ¿ May 4, 2019 23:39

Rhjamiz: Oct 28, 2007

I know where he is. But I doubt he'll want to answer my questions and I don't feel like giving him a choice in the matter.

Unless you two want to help me force the issue, I have to find my answers elsewhere.

Ask him where Atrus is. If he can tell us that much, he'll have at least some use.

I do honestly wonder if that would help your impression.

I'm sure that would make an enlightening conversation.

"Actually you see, all the cruelty and oppression and erasure of their culture was both good and reasonable."

I'm sure Chell can tell you what it's like to have a conversation alone with him.

Ah, that exchange between you two makes much more sense now. My apologies, and my thanks to you for clarifying.

This one retracts his earlier question, then, Salo of Clan Povo. The question has changed:

You are actively allowing your Guild to turn into a den of thieves. What do you say to this accusation? How do you justify the actions of Zel Anderson, Zanzian Miller, and the envoy that was sent to steal from Ms. Brodsky?

What is it you imagine mercenaries do, exactly?
