Inquisition.

[The voice is hard to place, neither male nor female, lingering oddly over the syllables of the word--considering. An Inquisition, proper noun. What a thing.]

Your cities are infested with beasts. You keep them in comfort and guard jealously their welfare. A caste among you even exists to care for them.

Explain this.

❰ nnnnngh she has responses to this but it's so much effort, does she care enough about this weird rifter with their hive to keep going. ❱

Comparing keeping pets and systematically imprisoning and traumatizing thousands of people is where this conversation ends, I think.

We're not a hive. We don't do things like bees or ants might, because humanoids are sort of inherently illogical. If that bothers you, you're going to have a lot of trouble here. Have a good day.
