"Even if the Intelligent Mechanism wants to discriminate against us, the so-called 'condemned,' it would still have to ask for the Deities' approval."
"Don't forget, this civilization's covenant also emphasizes the so-called freedom of faith."
"What is faith? And what is the relationship between Deities and faith? I invite you all to think creatively. Consider how our race imagined Deities during the age of ignorance, back when we worshipped nature."
"Therefore, to the Deities, every living being on the surface—every mortal—ought to have some value."
"And how many of us, the so-called condemned, are there? Even without an exact count, the combined population of all the surface-dwelling races surely exceeds a billion."
"So, when you connect that with what's happening now—the Intelligent Mechanism broadcasting these very images to us on the surface through an information incursion—I'm sure it's not hard for any of you to imagine the implications!"
