"I wish I were better at talking them out of it."

"Well, regardless. The rest of Malgus's forces have surrendered. The Republic wants to pin about fifteen medals on you, and the Empire also expresses their gratitude."

Permalink

"And are they negotiating an end to the war?"

Permalink

"They need a little bit of a nudge, I think. But so far the ceasefire hasn't fallen apart."

Permalink

"Cool. ...a nudge? Should we do something?"

Permalink

"We've given enough of a carrot, now it's time for a bit of the stick. You need to record something saying your experience with Malgus has opened your eyes to the reality of the war between Empire and Republic. Effective immediately, you will no longer be providing material aid to governments engaged in conflict, though your independent humanitarian works will continue as normal. That should help sway public opinion against the war far enough that the leaders will have to make a serious effort at peace."

"...okay. You know how to broadcast that once it's recorded?"

Permalink

"As long as it's in a recognizable format."

"I can do format conversions." He makes himself a his-world camera. He looks at it. "I can create arbitrary material goods. I would hope that the nations of this galaxy would choose peace and prosperity over war. But they are going to have to choose. I will work no longer with any government involved in wars. I will continue my work with any peaceful organization. But the wars have to end, or the states that conduct them will find themselves left behind."

"That will do nicely."

Permalink

"Name a format."

She does so!

Permalink

Then he will make a model of where she is and come drop it off!

Permalink

She's on a space station, in a room with a lot of complicated-looking electronic equipment.

"Hi."

Permalink

"Hi." Recording.

Permalink

"Thanks." She pops it into a convenient port, then starts setting up an override broadcast.

Permalink

It's kind of cool. He looks around.

Permalink

Lots of shiny blinking lights and humming servers.

"Um, just try not to disturb anything. Some of this is delicate."

Permalink

"Won't."

Permalink

She flashes him a smile, then returns to what she was doing.

Permalink

It's a cool space station. He folds his wings and goes walking around.

Permalink

If he leaves the room with all the computers, he can find some neat displays that commemorate historical events stretching back almost ten thousand years.

Permalink

Ooooooh.

Permalink

Many of them mention the role something called 'the Star Cabal' played in shaping the desired outcome.

Permalink

He should ask for a proper history lesson later.
