So with Brogan gone, the Mord'Sith suggest castrating him and have a good chuckle over it. Dohohohoh, they have a good time there at the People's Palace. And, you know, why not? He's obviously evil. He's been abducting people right there, in that very city. Just talk to one of them, find out they've been tortured, and boom, you're done. Or just search his hide-out. You've got an army; delegate!

But Richard is all "give peace a chance," so nada. He also tells one of the generals to make sure the men don't loot the city, causing yet another person to call-out Richard. Man, it's painful knowing this won't lead anywhere.

"Don't you understand? This isn't about conquering lands and taking things from others; just ordering lands to surrender and demanding a tribute, totally different! this is about fighting oppression."

The general rested a boot on the gilded rung of a chair and hooked a thumb behind his wide belt.
They use gold on the chairs? Seems uncomfortable. "I don't see much difference. From my experience, the Master Rahl always thinks he knows best, and always wants to rule the world. You are your father's son. War is war. Reasons make no difference to us; we fight because we are told to, same as those on the other side. Reasons mean little to a man swinging his sword, trying to keep his head."

Richard rebuttals that they have the strength of ten men (err, armies) because their hearts are pure. He goes on about how if they act honorably, then people will join them willingly instead of submitting to conquest… which, again, doesn't seem to square that well with ordering people to surrender to his New World Order.


If you're not with us, then you're with Sting!

The general says he hopes that they can live in peace once they're done with all the killing, but it's a fantasy book series, so don't start investing in a time-share, bro. And then suddenly things get awesome, because guess what bitches? It turns out

THIS IS A CARA CHAPTER.

GHOST MACHINE.

Synopsis: Military techs Tom (Sean Faris) and Vic (Luke Ford) take their love of computer games to dangerous extremes when they snatch a top-secret warfare program and smuggle it into an abandoned jail, where an evil ghost infiltrates the software. As the men become key players in a deadly game, it's up to Special Forces recruit Jess (Rachael Taylor) to enter the virtual war zone and save the duo in this exciting techno-thriller.

"Sir, there's only one way to stop the ghost from haunting cyperspace. We must HACK THE AFTERLIFE."
