Gaheris Rhade

Our people were meant to be living gods, warrior-poets who roamed the stars bringing civilization, not cowards and bullies who prey on the weak and kill each other for sport. I never imagined they'd prove themselves so inferior. I didn't betray our people – they betrayed themselves.

I'm completely certain that this will be ignored, but with a flood on I would recommend that people refrain from extremely intimate activities or brazen murders until it's over with. We've all seen the worst case scenarios more than once.

...I am noticing that certain things don't seem to... line-up, properly, at the moment. Has anyone else noticed this?

[Private to Ben | Audio]

I should speak with you.

OOC: Rhade is affected. His Barge memories are spotty; he may remember someone as their original self or their alternate self. He vaguely remembers being an inmate even though with his history he has no reason to ever have been. He managed to warn Dylan of the Nietzschean insurrection and both ended up weathering the Long Night together. Now he's actually closer to an inmate than he ever has been in this timeline, because he's never properly dealt with his rationalizing the Battle of Witchhead (where he had to participate in the destruction of thousands of his own people) and starting to act a little bizarrely towards Magog-infested Dylan. Canon point is early Season 2 AU.

I think mine is coming along.

[He should be thrilled about the prospect of getting rid of the Magog larvae soon. But they've been in him for long enough now that the thought of having them gone almost feels weird. Maybe he's going crazy.]

[And he has to stop and consider what it is he's going to say here. He starts to pace again, a bad habit of his. But it seems more likely that Dylan's deal will be fulfilled first.]

Would... you be opposed, perhaps... if the Hajira Magog were to raise them once they were removed? [The problem would be getting them into something they could still feed off of as they grew. Not to mention the peculiarity of painful horrors inside of him.]

[Dylan latches on to that idea.]

That's a good idea. I mean, if it's them or me, I'm not going to let myself be Magog food. But what happened isn't really their fault. If there's a way to get my body back without killing them, and a way to raise them to not be monsters, I'm all for trying it.

[He's actually glad the response is favorable. He hates the idea of destroying something with Dylan's DNA in it if it can be avoided.] It may be possible with your deal, and then we could leave. [He sounds eager about that idea.]

[Dylan always wanted a family. A brood of Magog was definitely not what he had in mind. But for all he knows, maybe they'll make him proud. Maybe with the right rearing they'll all become pacifists and philosophers like Rev Bem.]

Looking forward to getting back to saving the universe?

Yes. I hate it here. [He's far too blunt about that, and it's even without the issues of having been an inmate.] I feel stagnant. Knowing that you can't die here makes it worth staying, but I don't believe either of us want to be here indefinitely.

You've got that right. This isn't exactly home sweet home. [He just stops himself from saying that this is no place to raise a child. He won't be raising any Magog children on Andromeda either.]

What will we do if they manage to hatch before Blonsky graduates.

[He honestly doesn't want to put them down. Even being Magog- he's seen Rev Bem. He knows what they can be.]

[Dylan sighs heavily.]

If that happens, we just have to hope we can control them and keep them from eating everyone on the ship.
