A phone rang.
“Yes.”
“Any news, general?”
“Unfortunately, it seems the cat is out of the bag.”
A pause.
“I do not understand what our current situation has to do with felines and containers.”
“…It’s a figure of speech.”
“And what does it mean?”
“It means that my… Pawns have figured it out. And they have escaped, with that knowledge.”
Another pause.
“They will probably try to make it public.”
“Yes, and it means we will have to step up the timeline. Put the final part of our plan into action.”
“It is much earlier than we had planned.”
“It is. But we have no choice. Will you be ready?”
“I will.”
“Good. Remember, this is all we’ve been working towards over the past years. It all comes to this. We must not fail.”
“We won’t.”

You know, it would be really ironic if their end goal was actually something reasonable like making peace with enough land for the Repulsoids (who are actually refugees from their devastated original home world without even knowing, besides the emperor) to properly settle down.
Not that there wouldn't be a thousand better ways to reach a goal like that or that I actually believe that to be the case.
I just like the idea of ominous, shadowy figures that drive the plot to actually be benign, in a twisted way.
You're not... Entirely wrong. Both the Emperor and General Ryder actually have their own reasons why they're doing this which will be revealed later on, it's not just for fun and giggles; whether you think those reasons are actually valid, well, that's another conversation entirely
@OfficiallyZoe I decided to put my comments in spoilers just to be safe.
I'm not entirely surprised there is something to my wild guess. Most villains have reasons, they usually even make sense to them. In many cases, it's not so much the reasons for the villains actions that are the problem but the methods they use (often skipping multiple stages of escalation, with violence as the first measure and not the last, or going further with the violence than they needed for their goals).
Unilaterally deciding that they know best and should be in charge usually is not the best indicator that the person in question is actually as fit to lead as they might think.
Smh, darn imperialists ?
“What are we doing today Pinky?”
“We’re taking over the world!”
