 "The first time I saw a S'pht with my own eyes, the S'pht I saw was
 S'buuth.

 "I did not see a person.  I did not see a lifeform.  I saw a
 monster.  I saw a creature, a creature worthy only of death... death
 everlasting.

 "Creatures... things such as this had destroyed thousands of lives. 
 Stirling and half her crew killed by things such as this.  Athena,
 destroyed.  Justicar, destroyed.  Rapier, destroyed.  These and
 dozens of other ships's crews were lucky... their lives were merely
 snuffed out by these monsters.  Others were less fortunate.

 "Hundreds of people corrupted, their brains destroyed, their bodies
 become mere carriers to these things.  Scores of Reorsans killed in
 their patrol craft, or worse, made to betray their knowledge of
 their people's defenses.  Camelynians denied their soldier's death
 and instead turned into S'pht puppets, their blades turned on their
 brother and sister Knights.  Hundreds of braids shattered, tortured,
 deceived, and then slaughtered, their knowledge made to serve the
 enemy.  Our technology, turned against itself.  Commander Savant was
 forced to give Coronado's position to the enemy, costing the lives
 of dozens of that ship's crew, whom she was sworn to protect. 
 Scherezade of Renegade given a similar fate, revealing her knowledge
 to the enemy.  Our people, made to serve the Pfhor... denied things
 even more precious than their lives... their choice, and their will,
 and their honor.

 "When I looked into S'buuth's red eyes... I saw Evil."
