I could be completely wrong about every single thing but the fact is, it works.  And that's really all I care about.  Like the maps which still read as the Earth in the center of the solar system.  From the perspective of the sailor charting the stars. it is.

Because it works.

Because either way you look up and that's what you see, that's what charts from our perspective, that's what works.

So you can talk all the shit you want about what you think you or I may or may not know but you still have two very important fact to contend with.

One that I wiped away your most powerful with a brush of my hand many times over.  And two every single time you act like a beta baying, you only reassert the alpha.  

You are not ready, and you may never be.  In your heart you would rather just have your parties and I see nothing wrong with that at all.  They'll be even better when you stop playing this game.  

Respect is earned.  

This ... what you're doing right now, this is bitchery.  Plain and true.

After I'm done here, you kids can squabble over it all you want, if even you can define it.  But no I don't trust your ability to see our world through these scenarios over the next one to three years.  I'm not even sure you understand them.  

I do know you're more interested in making drama than helping resolving them.  The problem wasn't that I 'took this' job from anyone.  It's that it was already there to be done, and no one was doing it.  And you can go right back to squabbling when the job's done.

Hopefully learning something along the way.

My endgame is the S.I.N.  Thrones come and go, always have.  What you squabble about is nothing.  A symbol of respect which cannot be taken, only given.
