>From the tone and posture, did it sound more like the green-haired woman was attempting to comfort Satori, or remind her not to go soft on us?
>Definately the former. In fact, the way she said 'Mistress' was not radically different from the way your Rin uses that word on occasion. This despite the fact that the woman does not wear the collar of a slave.
>Presumably we know of those two events. Do we know any background into the circumstances of their use, or whether they were ever regarded as war crimes?
>The reasoning behind the use of the Blink Bomb on Mayoiga is not known for certain. Mayoiga was not even a military target. Some believe that it was used as the ultimate sign of the contempt the Lunarians felt towards Earthlings, while others, including some Lunarian sources, claim it was simply a weapon like any other. Its use was a technological inevitability. The real truth may never be known for sure.
>The fusion device used against the Moon, on the other hand, is much better documented. Despite the second war being a much more level field than the first Lunarian invasion, the Moon people still had the edge in morale, supplies and most of all, technology. It was a fact to them that they would win, that no weapon created by Terrans could ever really harm them, especially not their paradise on the Moon. The nuclear weapon project, codenamed Angra Mainyu, was Terra's answer to that. Beleiving that nothing short of a cataclysmic strike against the Moon itself would ever end the war, a small team of commandos infiltrated the Lunar city of Lix and disabled its defenses. This allowed one nuclear fusion missile, nicknamed 'Megatron', to be deployed against the city, annihilating it.
>This nearly simultaneous destruction of two cities finally, firmly convinced both sides to end the war.
>In the aftermath of the war, the Terran coalition sought to have the Lunarian scientist primarily responsible for the development and deployment of the Blink Bomb extradited to Earth to answer for what she had done, but to this day still, the Lunarian princess has refused all such requests. This remains an extremely sore spot among Terrans.
>As for the man who developed the Megatron missile, he was the one who actually pushed the 'launch' button that day, and the weight of what he had done crushed him. Two days after the destruction of Lix, he destroyed every piece of data he could find pertaining to the construction of fusion devices, and then killed himself.
>"What are you doing to stop it?"
>"I intend to rule." Satori replies simply. "Every single Terran AND Lunarian species has proven incabale of ending the kind of violence, preventing the mentality that leads to wars, impotent to stop gruesome crimes from happening right under their noses. But I am a Satori." she says proudly, drawing herself to her full height. "I am
not every other species. I can do what they have failed to do."
