To Righteous Reaper and anyone else who may have been offended by my actions as a breach of conduct:
My sincerest apologies for your loss, however, I did not leave you without a way out. You must understand, that is how my character works. He is called to restore balance to the universe, in his various incarnations, and he does not fight for any faction, save that of his masters, the Jjarro, who gave him his task in the beginning.
My assault upon your forces left the Tempest's hull ravaged and split in half, but not unsalvageable. If you were attentive enough, you would consider that these remaining fragments are still hefty pieces of real estate, to say the least. Assuming the matter lost was at maximum 50 miles (diameter) vaporized, and 100 miles lost to excessive damage, that still leaves 50 miles of starship left for you, not to mention that with your hordes of robots it should be piecemeal to salvage the wreckage and safely add on a good 20 miles to your hull. That is, unless I miscount your original description and the ship was in fact 2,000 miles long, in which case my attack did little more than break it apart like a cheap lego set, easily reassembled in time.
In any case, I have simply given you a taste of what is to come, and one thing more you must remember; that I am still human behind this keyboard, and am fully capable of making a mistake. My goal is to make this Laser War interesting, whether by balancing out the factions, inputting a random cataclysm, etc. I do not fight to take control, as you might. My only master is justice. You had, to my perception, tipped the scales against you. Consider this a warning to not do so again.
Once more, I have enjoyed following your writing, Reaper, and look forward to your continuation of the story. I am fully open to any improvisation you wish, within reason, but my attack did not leave you helpless. I have done my duty. You would be well advised to remember it. Until we meet again, I will be watching.
Still Rampant,
Dolorous
