Chapter Seven: The Death Seekers
Nihilism is a disease of the heart and mind, one that affects every
culture. The Collective was no exception to this.
Among the
rebellious Observers there was a subset of revolutionaries whose only desire
was death. They had no other intention than to draw the curtain down on the
whole charade of life. Not merely their own lives, they wanted to see the end
of everything. They had an impetus toward nothingness, they saw existence
itself as suffering and they wanted to see the end of it.
They were
intent on the destruction of the entire apparatus of the Collective and it’s
Continuum, of the Empire and its machinations. They were bent on it, on wiping
the slate clean and starting over.
These
members fomented revolution wherever they could, they thought nothing of the
lives that were spent, and the suffering that ensued from their machinations.
They were
not many, relative to the whole, but they numbered in thousands, and they had
significant powers at their disposal.
They had the
power to engulf a world in conflict, as such they would scheme to draw the ire
of the Imperium, they would wage war against it, and watch the worlds they
occupied reduced to nothing.
Few of them
were willing to actually sacrifice themselves for the cause they purported to
believe in.
The
Continuum was well aware of their intentions, it harnessed their ambitions,
directing their energy toward the narratives that served it best.
They were
all cosmic fools.
