I know war very well, Star-Lord. I was fighting a war before the human species was manufacturing stone tools. I am intimately familiar with all the ways it takes hold of people and twists them into the worst of themselves.

[ He sighs, the sound rumbling outwards. ]

What Sabriel is suggesting is a path to avoiding that war by accomplishing Entr'i's goals with a fait accompli. It would, theoretically, stop any conflict before it started. I understand your concerns, but you must also understand that there will be war no matter if we interfere or not. I do not favor accelerationism--we are already too late to light the fuse, but what we have is a chance to cut it.

I think that I was wrong when the war became about my own aggrandizement. When it became about my personal hatred for Optimus Prime.

I still believe that there are times when it is necessary for the downtrodden and disenfranchised to take hold of their own destiny and demand to be heard, in any way possible.
