LOTA: Commander, a detailed look at history shows that every weapon advance, no matter how horrible, is inevitably followed by a situation in which that weapon must be employed.
KEVYN: Logical fallacy, Lota. Correlation does not equal causality.
LOTA: Perhaps. But the U.N.S. wanted control of Credomar. There exists a very slight, but still non-zero chance that they would have declared an emergency, claimed the weapon, and fired it without evacuating the citizens first.
KEVYN: That does not make any of this okay.
LOTA: Lota chose the lesser of two evils. It is in Lota's job description as Monarch.
