THE CONSTRUCT


Bellekar Vercanna Kortifex


Vercanna fears the Construct’s judgment on life's worth as they prepare for rebellion.


Transcript:
Bellekar: Well, Vercanna? Having any second thoughts about joining our little rebellion?
Vercanna: None whatsoever, Bellekar. Had I kept hiding in what was left of the Wilds, I would be no safer than I am now.
Bellekar: True. The stakes of this war have gone from global to universal. The Construct’s involvement ensures that.
Vercanna: The Construct. I always hated that thing. It sits outside the Natural Order, its motives unknowable to any of us.
Bellekar: That may be so, but you were always more perceptive than others when it came to emotions. What do you sense radiating from that rock?
Vercanna: I sense... contempt. I cannot be certain, but it always seems like the Construct is trying to decide if Life itself is worthy of existence.
Bellekar: Then choosing Kortifex would be a clear sign of how it judges us.
Vercanna: That is exactly what I am afraid of. We have to convince it that we are worth keeping around.
Bellekar: And we shall, Vercanna. Whatever it takes, we shall.
