"Legris Damien is a dangerous man. He is extremely unstable, unpredictable… and worst of all, he's very petty." Neron's hologram began in a stern tone.
The casual mood from earlier had now vanished, and I could tell from his low tone and slight frown that he was being very serious now.
"His plan was to scatter as many people through the branches as possible so we would spend forever trying to save everyone and ourselves while he went on with his plans. Unfortunately for him, I intervened and he was only able to get six of us."
Why couldn't Neron have just stopped Legris' plans entirely?
"I couldn't stop what he wanted to do because he would have just sprung something else on us. It's much better to allow the natural order of events to flow, and then later try to use it to my advantage. Besides, if you all didn't go on your separate and joint voyages, you wouldn't be as powerful as you currently are."
