Scipio's Log: Entry 1014.8D - I am proud of him

"They say hubris is a character flaw, one that causes the downfall of powerful men. It is treated as an affliction or is simply glazed over by those who have it.

"But I am so very proud of what I have accomplished. What can I say? I am a pioneer in this field, the first to successfully engineer the perfect specimen, the first to train the perfect soldier, the first to unleash a weapon so powerful that his very presence terrorizes our opponents. I have achieved all of this... so why shouldn't I be proud?

I had the opportunity to watch as he employed each and every one in efficient and brutal ways. He has exceeded every requirement and expectation, proving his worth and capabilities beyond measure. All that is left is to ensure his readiness.

"I have stated before that I very much feel like a father concerning him. Is it wrong that I feel parent-like pride? Is it wrong for me to take pride in his actions?

"No. It is not."
