[Kregg] This is the third act of sabotage
by the Relonian natives this week.
The species remains unusually defiant,
despite our clear demonstrations of Viltrumite superiority.
I recommend a planet-wide cull of the population
before they disrupt our mining operations any further.
They resist us because we are occupiers
and we are cruel.
If we restrain ourselves,
their labor will only aid in our goals.
Their labor is nothing without their fear and respect.
Decimation sets an example,
not only for them, but for the next misguided species.
Misguided?
Do Viltrumites not respect strength?
The courage to challenge one's oppressors?
[scoffs] They are nothing to us.
The fact that you believe otherwise makes me--
[quiet, dramatic music playing]
Regent Thragg.
Emperor Argall.
What is your counsel?
Thaedus, you say Viltrumites respect strength.
That is correct. We do.
But these creatures,
their strength is not true strength.
We must educate them not because of their defiance,
but because their weakness is an offense to the natural order of the universe.
You are young, Regent.
Perhaps you do not yet see the longer game--
[Argall] Regent Thragg is correct.
Reduce the planet's population by 25%.
If they continue to resist,
eradicate them.

This is our chance,
