SHOCKEYE:
I have a desire to taste one of these human beasts, madam.
The meat looks so white and roundsomely layered
on the bone, a sure sign of a tasty animal.
CHESSENE:
You think of nothing but your stomach, do you, Shockeye.
SHOCKEYE:
‘The gratification of Pleasure
is the sole motive of action.’
Is that not Our Law?
CHESSENE:
I still accept it, but there are pleasures
other than the purely sensual.
SHOCKEYE:
For you, perhaps. Fortunately,
I have not been augmented.
CHESSENE:
Take care. Your Purity could
easily become insufferable.
SHOCKEYE:
These days, you no longer use
your karam name, do you,
Chessene o' the Franzine Grig?
CHESSENE:
Do you think for one moment that I forget
that I bear the sacred blood
of the Franzine Grig?
But that noble History lies
behind me, while ahead?
Oh, ahead lies A Vision…
