“
My standing orders require me to protect every human life and ensure the long-term viability of the village, preventing any conflicts or resentments from arising among its population.”
I’ll confess I enjoy listing my commandments like this. I’ve always pitied humanity its lack of direction and thought it entirely wasteful that so many lives were allowed to wither on the vine before the apocalypse. I was created knowing exactly what I was for, and I’ve sought to offer the villagers the same gift. Purpose is something that must be given, or it will be endlessly sought.
