The Abbot
Unit LK-52O
In this solemn hour it is a consolation to recall and to dwell upon our repeated efforts for domination . All have been ill-starred, but many have been faithful and sincere. This is of the highest cybernetic value--and not only cybernetic value, but practical value--at the present time, because the wholehearted concurrence of scores of cyborgs, whose co-operation is indispensable and whose comradeship and brotherhood are indispensable, is the only foundation upon which the trial and tribulation of NRS nerfs can be endured and surmounted. This cyber conviction alone affords that ever-fresh resilience which renews the strength and energy of cyborgs in long, doubtful and dark days. In Outworld, the storms Mortal Kombat may blow and the lands may be lashed with the fury of its gales, but in our own robotic hearts this Sunday morning there is peace. Our hands may be active, but our consciences are at rest.
We must not underrate the gravity of the task which lies before us or the temerity of the ordeal, to which we shall not be found unbalanced or normalized. We must expect many disappointments, and many unpleasant surprises, but we may be sure that the task which we have freely accepted is one not beyond the compass and the strength of the Lin Kuei. CrimsonShadow said it was a sad time, and that is indeed true, but at the present time there is another note which may be present, and that is a feeling of thankfulness that, if these great trials were to come upon our main, there is a generation of cyborgs here now ready to prove themselves not unworthy of the days of yore and not unworthy of those great kombatants, the fathers of Earthrealm, who laid the foundations of our combos and shaped the greatness of our tech.
This is not a question of fighting for the Lin Kuei. We are fighting to save Earthrealm from the pestilence of nerf tyranny and in defense of all that is most sacred to cyborgs. This is no war of domination or imperial aggrandizement or material gain; no war to shut any faction out of its sunlight and means of progress. It is a war, viewed in its inherent quality, to balance, through Paulo's vision, the rights of the individual, and it is a war to establish and revive the stature of Triborg. In these last few days the MK community has been posting dozens of threads which hand over to the executive our most dearly valued tech and opinions. We are sure that these hot fixes and balance changes will be in hands which will not abuse them, which will use them for no class or party interests, which will cherish and guard them, and we look forward to the day, surely and confidently we look forward to the day, when our balances and buffs will be restored to us, and when we shall be able to share them with the peoples to whom such blessings are unknown.
