Imperium Vol 1 1

We have tried to change the world passively. Secretly. And those plans have come to nothing. Now every nation in the world is aligned against us. So be it. Open rebellion shall be our final recourse.

Quotes[]

Hello, beautiful woman. Like you, I'm from the midnight age. I was born activated, the rarest of psiots. My specific ability originally caused great suffering. Simply being in my presence forced others to fully relive the worst moment of their lives. But as a very young boy the great Harada-sama taught me how to turn it off. And with more study and self-reflection I eventually learned to reverse it.

-- Darpan

Once, only a handful of people had the ability to become activated psiots. Now anyone can unlock their special inner power, whatever it may be. But in choosing activation one also chooses servitude...because all of this freedom, the freedom of movement and of choice, the freedom to pursue purpose without prejudice...it only exists because those who have chose activation are not free.

-- Darpan

It is the psiot who strives daily to maintain and improve the society of equality...and in so doing assumes inequality for themselves. A mere twelve percent of people choose service over self, choose to wield great power instead of benefiting from it.

-- Darpan

We have tried to change the world passively. Secretly. And those plans have come to nothing. Now every nation in the world is aligned against us. So be it. Open rebellion shall be our final recourse.

-- Toyo Harada

Yeah? Sounds great...I don't get to envision jack crap. Guess the future doesn't belong to me, huh?

-- Mech Major / Sunlight on Snow

I've asked several times, call me Sunlight on Snow.

-- Mech Major / Sunlight on Snow

Human! It's bad enough that we're killing anyone. You don't get to kill the wrong ones!

-- Mech Major / Sunlight on Snow

Mech Major! Stand down! People aren't as precise as you. Collateral damage is unavoidable. Understand your place and your purpose.

-- Toyo Harada

Don't worry...I understand my place far too well. And. My. Name. Is. Sunlight on Snow.
