These days, our war is shifting to something more... Well, something else. Our kind- Both of our kind- Are slowly and blissfully shuttling towards a quiet, and peaceful genocide. As long as we keep up this whole barely-a-war thing, soon, everything will just, I don't know, stop. This world can't sustain us. Not anymore. Where we were once star empires, that had spread across the universe, now, we're just remnants of bare millions, slumbering towards extinction on our old home world.

Well, I suppose our end won't come to that. I'm guessing that we'll end up just wiping each other out real soon, ending our millennia long feud. Maybe a few nukes will be launched, and we'll end up as radioactive skeletons. Maybe one of us will march on the other, and we'll all end up dying in blood and laser fire. Not sure if it would be ironic, but whatever. It doesn't really matter.

Honestly, it's really starting to look like the latter (Both sides killing each other in one last hoorah) is gonna surpass the former. The Crymeia and their CIA guys have been stalking us at Eden's Gate and attacking Dreakon Outpost with their raiding parties for about a year now, waiting to see which side is gonna strike the final, finishing blow. This whole 'Cold war phase' (High Council's words, not mine) or whatever, is gonna blow up in our faces. Again. Like it always does. And this little incident is only gonna speed things up.

Hell, this time it wasn't technically our fault. Rather it was Pacem's fault. He and his band of idiotic dreamers just had to do exactly what we said they shouldn't do, and now Shockwave's forces killed them all. Like we said they would.

Okay, it was technically partly- Partly- Our fault. We did ignore his, and his cronies', warnings. And we didn't really stop them. So now it's on us. Again.

Idiots. Unbelievable idiots.

Not sure whom I'm referring to, now. Me, Riker and the HC, or Pacem.

I wonder if Pacem thought he was doing the right thing. I hope not, because that would make his actions a little bit easier to understand.

I suppose it doesn't really matter in the end, does it? Pacem's probably dead, his objective's most likely failed, and we're still stuck in the same godforsaken situation as we have been for the last year or so.

Couldn't be goddam happier.

That was sarcasm by the way. I dabble. More now than I have done before.

Still, I can't help but get this nagging feeling in the back of my head, that things are only gonna get worse, because of Pacem- I mean, they've always gotten worse. Our kinds hasn't been in a perpetual state of conflict for, oh, about, maybe... 30'100 years or so, and not learn that- but when we see the consequences of our latest actions, and inactions...

Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there, I guess.
