>"We fight you because we must. The attack into this space is ourrr chance
to starrrt new, and we can't rrrightly do that if we leave the serrrvice of
one rrrace only to become the slaves of anotherrr. We can not and will not
allow ourrrselves to become the pawns of anotherrr. We will earrrn ourrr
frrredom, and we will earrrn peace." Cheap freedom was not really freedom,
at least it was not the freedom that he and his people wanted. Only an
earned freedom would be valued. Only an earned freedom would last, and,
unfortunately, to earn it a people must bleed for it.
"Then fight bessside usss, not againssst usss!" said the Caitian.
"Tillarath of the Ssskiess! The morrre you fight usss, the morrre we will
do everrrything in ourrr powerrr to desstrrroy you! If you mussst fight,
fight the onesss who have done thisss to you. Therrre isss no ssshame in
fighting besside yourrr kin." This war was almost a civil war to the
Caitians. Their kin were attacking them, and there is nothing so bitter as
a fight between relatives. "Would you have yourrr frreedom at the prrricce
of thousssandss, millionsss of livess? Iss that what you want forrr yourrr
cubsss, a glorrriousss and ussseless death?"
"It is the only way we know, and it may be the only choice we have. You and yourrr
people attacked and capturrred the verrry elderrr that devised the plan to move to
your parrrt of the galaxy. The Generrral. Now that he has been capturrred, he may
not be able to rrreturrrn. If he is not rrreturrrned soon, he can never return alive,
for if he does, he will be killed as a trrraitorrr."
