Humanoid Alien Lecture

"I feel the same, Father."

Standing to Sui Yang's left, Roboute also supported Sanguinius's viewpoint and provided his analysis: "To view oneself as part of the other side so quickly, and even harbor hatred toward one's own race—I must say, the planetary consciousness of this alien world possesses an extremely potent corrosive effect on sentient life."

Upon hearing this, Sui Yang did not seem surprised that his two primarch sons would say such things. He glanced to his left and right, took his hands off the console, and enlarged the holographic screen showing Jake Sully mobilizing the Na'vi.

"If we had not stepped foot on this planet, or if we were viewing this from the perspective of a spectator, we would find the events that have unfolded on Pandora over these past forty days to be quite dramatic. The human organization RDA in Universe 02 mines room-temperature superconducting ore for profit, while Jake Sully is a spy and a pawn sent by humans into the Na'vi to rapidly dismantle their society. Yet, he happens to meet his fated lover, gets accepted by the Na'vi tribe, and then must face the violent expulsion tactics of the RDA, leaving him caught in the middle and forced to make a choice... Isn't this just a dramatized scene playing out in real life?"

"Indeed," Sanguinius said, lost in thought.

"Exactly," Roboute nodded, continuing his analysis. "And based on our secret observations over these forty days, setting aside the planetary consciousness's infiltration of Jake Sully's mind, the RDA could actually have achieved their goal of expelling the Na'vi and securing the ore through non-extreme means; it would just have required more time. This... Father, why do the events unfolding on Pandora make me think of the history that occurred in North America in our main universe during the 17th to 19th centuries? At the same time, the behavior of Jake Sully and his collaborators makes me strongly feel that they hold leftist ideologies."

"17th to 19th centuries..." Sanguinius looked slightly confused, even a bit self-doubting as he asked Sui Yang, "Father, although... although I understand that the RDA's actions constitute aggression, I cannot summon any sympathy or pity for the Na'vi, who are in a disadvantaged position and belong to the weaker group. Am I wrong?"

"Wrong?" Sui Yang turned to face Sanguinius, whose height had reached 1.4 meters but whose face remained very youthful, and explained in a calm tone: "Child, you must understand one principle: humans are humans, and aliens are aliens. Furthermore, internal strife between humans also contains disgusting, cruel bastards; this is unavoidable. Within every sentient race, there will be parasites."

As he spoke, Sui Yang glanced at Roboute behind him and continued: "When I taught you history, did I not emphasize that within human infighting, there exists both extreme cruelty and the sparks of humanity? And we are the ones who must shine this 'spark,' and the beliefs behind it, upon the entire world, and indeed, all of humanity in the universe."

Sui Yang paused intentionally, giving his two sons time to process this.

Roboute and Sanguinius were indeed lost in brief contemplation. However, Sui Yang had told them these things several times before, and they understood why their father used Atlas's economic advantages to frequently sanction and stifle the development prospects of certain organizational structures, such as the island regions between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Philippine Sea. Secondly, they tried applying these words to the situation between the RDA and the Na'vi, only to discover... that the Na'vi were not part of human infighting at all! Therefore, all rules and morality were completely inapplicable.

After realizing this, Roboute wanted to speak, but he intentionally delayed for a moment, allowing Sanguinius—who hadn't noticed Roboute's micro-expressions—to jump in first: "I understand, Father. The struggles and rights or wrongs within humanity are issues between us humans, but the relationship between humans and aliens is a matter of survival. There is no right or wrong; everything must be based on whether humanity can survive and prosper in the universe for the long term, and secondly, on maximizing the benefits obtained by humanity. As humans, we should maintain etiquette and a friendly attitude, but the prerequisite is that we possess sufficiently powerful strength. Otherwise, if voices and thoughts that favor aliens appear internally when survival is not even guaranteed, it will affect human unity. That is the behavior of a traitor."

"I think the same, Father," Roboute echoed his brother. "From the perspective of a spectator, we understand Jake Sully's choice, but the moment he points his weapon at humans, he is an indisputable enemy."

"Very good." Sui Yang was satisfied with his sons' understanding of this "Human vs. Alien" lesson. He turned back to the holographic map on the central console and said with emphasis: "You two are not small anymore; it is time to participate in some extracurricular practical activities. Tomorrow morning, you will join the ARS company in the corporation's raid."

Hearing this, the brothers looked at each other, clearly not expecting their father to let them participate in combat. Since they first gained consciousness, Roboute and Sanguinius had understood their own uniqueness. Through their father's style of action and verbal teachings, they understood they were destined to shoulder heavy burdens and resolve everything that posed a threat to humanity. Having steeled themselves, they responded with an incredibly firm tone, despite their youthful faces: "Understood, Father."

"Good. You two don't need to be nervous. During the operation, you only need to stay in the rear; there is no need to participate in the fighting directly. However... depending on the situation, if a threat approaches, you are free to act as you see fit." Having said this, Sui Yang waved his hand. "Alright, you two go and have some free time. Remember not to run too far."

"Yes, Father!"

Having received permission for free movement, Sanguinius and Roboute smiled and responded, then trotted out of the command center.

They were still children, after all. Watching his two sons' rather cheerful backs, Sui Yang smiled involuntarily.

The space gate had been opened and the forward base established. Considering the long-term busyness ahead, he had brought the two primarchs along to continue their education. As for Eywa, this planetary consciousness had not yet discovered that Atlas from the main universe had set foot on the soil of Pandora. Sui Yang had not used his psychic powers to actively contact Eywa; after all, he was not yet capable of confronting the collective consciousness of an entire planet's organisms head-on. But judging by the fact that the Na'vi were completely unaware of their existence and by various other details, Sui Yang could be certain that the space gate had exerted some kind of shielding effect on Eywa, keeping Atlas in the "dark."
