Excerpt from Humanities' Vanity Book 2
"So you really have gone soft!" Bradley sneered. I
let it pass. Could it be true? Bradley hadn't been the first person to demand
that I retract the option, far from it. Voting was going heavily for ‘Take No
Action’- of course it didn't show each individual Admiral’s vote but it did
show the progress of the voting and I was catching a lot of flack to retract my
option. I think that more than
anything else was the reason I did not retract it. I do not like being told
what to do no matter who is doing the telling.
"I really don't know what to think anymore." I
said honestly. I raised my hands and showed them to Bradley. "These hands
are bathed in blood. Blood that will never wash off. Maybe we should give the mammalian races a
chance."
