Should have used the dark side.
I'm dead, not deaf. Tone it down.
Sorry. I'm just. On edge.
And a lot of caffeine.

Least I missed the whole hormonal preggo shit.
Tends to use you back, if you know what I mean.
Yeah but what's the point of a moral code if it leads to your death?
So what the hell are you talking about?
What's the point of living if you let yourself forget what's right?
Right is just a state of mind.
...Nothing. Don't worry about it.
[grins] So's evil. It's really all semantics, once you break it down.
You come up out of the Force Abyss to say something totally cryptic but don't bother explaining it?
Can't say you've changed much.

I'm not talking semantics, I'm talking life or death. I'm talking doing what you have to do to survive, even if not everyone thinks it's "right."
[Right... that knocks his grin a little out of whack.]
Life and death aren't that different. Trust me. And survival isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I know the difference, thanks.
Survival lets you stay with the people you care about - what's there not to want about that?
It shouldn't be a requirement to sacrifice yourself for idiots with no foresight or self preservation skills just because some made up code says it's "right."

Being an idiot doesn't make someone less deserving of life. Or protection.
If you can save someone by sacrificing yourself...

Really? Because in my opinion, forcing eleven people to give up their lives for you for a stupid cause with no chance of success makes you a little less deserving of life.
[Yeah, that gets a brow furrow.]
That's different. I was talking about self sacrifice. [not that he doesn't know how it feels to be forced into things...]

It was a trap, of course. Just like you all knew it would be.
So am I. Several went because they felt they had no choice. Because their code said that's what they should do. The idiot couldn't be reasoned with, so they went to a certain trap, just to protect him.
