Finding Noor

[Gar]

The Zeltron could sense Bay's uneasy mental state. He didn't seem anxious about the job itself, though. Had he simply been rattled by her eagerness to kill? She couldn't help but smile sadly at this. Her shoulders slumped. She approached her friend and gently dabbed the sweat from his forehead with the hem of her sleeve.

"Easy, Bugsie," Ni laughed softly, "If this isn't something you are comfortable with, we can always think of other stuff! No pressure."

She sighed and sat back in her chair again, staring up at the computer screen thoughtfully. "I don't know a lot of things, Bugsie," the Zeltron began resolutely, her tone suddenly serious, "But I've seen enough to know that good, pure people like you are often taken advantage of by bad people like Merrick..." her eyes drifted down to her hands as she started fidgeting with her nails, "And this doesn't happen because these good people are weak or disadvantaged, no...It is actually because they limit themselves with rules; principles that truly only serve to protect the bad people and maintain the bad people's control. For example..." Ni glanced up briefly, "The principle that killing should be avoided, or at least the final solution."

Ni shifted in her seat and inhaled deeply. "I understand why you may be disturbed by my enthusiasm for...well, for murder..." she continued quietly, "But my Master, like a lot of good people, died because he followed rules and principles. And I think it is safe to say that following these principles now would really only help Merrick." A fresh intensity stirred in Ni's eyes as she looked up at Bay once more, stating emphatically, "This evil man did terrible things to Zay, things that I don't even know if she will recover from. He tortured and killed a fellow Zeltron and who knows how many other women. He has his hands in the sex slave market. And he is also helping the OPA..." her eyes were burning now as she concluded, "I am not ashamed to admit that I don't only find this murder to be necessary--I will enjoy snuffing out his life."
