May I ask how he is a mass murderer? He took no part in either of the purges or the Xenocide, and even tried to stop the purges. He is kinda the good guy here, and he brings up good points, you are blaming him for things he didn’t do. If anything he is a more respectable person that the Emperor, which is a low bar, but the point still stands

Laura stiffens a little bit.

"Vendis Adi. Chao Jin. Elizabet Porte. Hallis Cruz. Benna Cruz. Those were the first five casualties when the Moiraides boarded the Dawnbringer. None of them were Astartes, or even armed. They were just innocents caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. That didn't stop Custodians from killing them, or ninety-eight other people. Murshi Cen. Philla Vilm Cen. Urga Jalom. The list goes on, and I remember them all."

"That's not mentioning all the people killed when the Summer Light was crippled, or when the Pax Nova was hit by a broadside," Citalicue adds.

#tlatia answers #ooc: I'm using the casualties in the fleet as an example. which might be a bad example bc i wrote that. but. stick with me for a sec #ooc: laura and citalicue can't reference when atticus spoke about shooting fanatics trying to worship when tlatia was captured #ooc: that's not something they were there for. they don't know about it #ooc: and also they are biased characters. tlatia is their mother and their leader. they see her in a kinder light than atticus #ooc: I'm using an event they know about to also comment on one they don't if that makes sense #ooc: because there WERE ways to disperse those fanatics without killing them. the imperial palace is. well. a fortress. it has walls/doors #ooc: even just saying that 'only the emperor and His children were permitted to walk on these sacred grounds' would probably work #ooc: now is this a criticism of the choices made? only on a character level. if atticus made the best most morally sound choice all the time #ooc: then this thread wouldn't exist #ooc: god my english major is bleeding thru lmao
