Paradise Violated
That overzealous fool is going to turn the entire village against you, and that's the last thing you need right now. You stop Salo before the Lizards make dinner out of him.
"What are you doing?! It's my job to teach these savages the ways of the Empire, and bring them into the fold, even if they aren't worthy enough to serve HIM."
"Well you're not gonna do that by antagonizing the poor scaly bastards! Just leave them alone, its not like we're leaving anytime soon, and we'll have a lot easier time of it, if we aren't fighting every last lizard on this fuckin' planet!"
"If they don't accept the ways of the Empire, then they deserve to be purged by it!" Salo says predictably.
"Yeah, well if you haven't noticed we're a LONG way from the Empire, new supplies won't be here for months and I'd like to currently supply of ammo to last until then. That won't happen if we're blowing away every lizard we come across. Its easier to just work with them when they aren't actively hostile."
Salo looks unconvinced and disturbed by your words.
"As an Indoctrinator of the Empire it's also up to me to make sure its servants are not falling astray to alien influences! And you my dear Captain have been displaying suspect behavior as of late! I hope for your sake you haven't forgotten the values of the Empire!"
Salo warns and storms off to his tent.
As the Lizards disperse and go back to their simple village life, you also return to your tent, shaking your head, and thinking about what a short sighted, narrow minded idiot Salo is. You go back to studying the maps of the territory you've explored so far and pondering where you should go next, soon one of your men comes in to tell you that the Sergeant has come back from a recon mission and she looks like she's faced some hostiles. He also tells you they've captured an interesting prisoner, an Elojin.
