However, I have studied our history, and in my own time between worlds, I sought knowledge in preparation for...confrontation. Many lessons led me to the same concept; know thy enemy."
What have you to fear from us? A question he had asked them. But now, he wonders; what do they fear, at all? And why is it leading them to use such methods?
