What do you think they’ll do? The Ekt aren’t perfect, but they won’t exterminate half the population. It won’t get that far, you know that. —It won’t. But at some point, they’ll consider it. Things will get bad enough they’ll actually consider genocide as an option. They’ll reject the idea right away because they’re not insane, but it’ll change everything. Every other bad option will look a whole lot better after that.
