Morality, A Personal Failing

There are times I think if I was just less of a human being I could do some really awful things. Now of course someone would point out all the awful things I've already done, and to that I say "And this is with me being restrained" let that one sink in for a moment. - Chronicles of Lorentino

Riklish was his name. Well that's what his name was in our language. My red skinned associate had finally grasped enough of our language to speak fluently enough. I was kind of surprised how quick he was to take on the language, but he claimed while confusing at first, it was very simplistic, and that if I wanted a real language to cry about try speaking a robotic language only in beeps. Shira laughed at that, but I was not amused.

"Kill them, no quarter." We were discussing what to do with the prisoners. Riklish had a specific idea in place he was to put it mildly inflexible on.

"We don't even know these creatures." I was being the voice of reason, it hurt me.

"I'm with Riklish, they were imprisoned for a reason." I was afraid how quickly Shira was to side with Riklish when she warned me I was too quick to trust. What if he was a genocidal crazy person and we were helping him in his final scheme? I dunno I worried we didn't have all the variables.

"I'm just not comfortable with all of this."

"Then don't be involved Trezlan, Riklish and I will strategize. You can sit back and do nothing, its what you are good at." Shira went straight for the hurtful comments and I stomped off. I couldn't imagine that my morality was being considered a liability. How? HOW COULD THAT BE!? But I also couldn't just let my ai and this strange red man conspire to committ genocide. There had to be another way, and so I sought it out. With bad magics, because what am I, if not an idiot.
