Phaeton quotes from Exosquad

Phaeton

The birth of the Neosapien order is a thing of beauty. It would be unthinkable to not witness the most important event in history... the moment the Neosapiens seize their destiny. The reign of the old humanity ends this day. We, the stepchildren of mankind, are now its rulers. Think, Typhonus, what the rule of the Neosapiens means. Justice, at last. Logic, at last. Order, at last. Our laws will prevail. What glories the Homeworlds will see, governed by our even hand!

Phaeton

Since its conception, the Neosapien race has lived under the oppressive rule of a homo sapien regime. Forced to work and serve as slave labor, only to benefit Terran objectives. Today marks the beginning of a new and enlightened era and the history of your kind comes to an end. The future now belongs to Neosapiens. You as the representatives of the Terran Homeworlds must accept this reality. Your unconditional surrender to us, to me, is now a fact.

Phaeton

The blow you are about to strike will send the Terran rabble back to the cover of their Pirate hideouts. You will have your revenge for the Terrans' destruction of Mars. I will build a monument to your victory on Venus, and inscribe your names in stone, so that future broods will remember your courage.

For two hundred years, it has been illegal to combine human and non-human genes. But now, Phaeton is the law. The fierceness of the predator has been given to the Warrior Neosapien.

Phaeton

Are we not all animals, pretending to be human?

As Minister of War, Typhonus is my strong right arm but I cannot grow a new arm. Someday, it may become necessary to destroy Typhonus. A clone is ready, an exact duplicate. I will replace Typhonus with... Typhonus.

Phaeton

Yes, but that was fifty years ago.

Marsala

We Neosapiens have long lives - and longer memories.

Phaeton

That episode is not one which I would care to have generally known. Shall I have you killed?

Marsala

A waste - I am a skilled soldier.

Phaeton

Shiva, you have always been my best general. Can you stop them?

No, but I will try.
