The Judges Of Sabra La Tau (

Re: [Slide 2]
That this is a game is another element oft overlooked. Not simply the games themselves, hosted by the Judges, but all of this place, and every aspect of it. It is no coincidence that food and supplies are scarce. Teams are meant to compete with each other, and daily life is meant to be a trial.

Please keep this in mind as you work for us. It may go against some of your better natures to refuse to help, or to create strife. However, the prize is great, and it is only fair for the price to be equal. You, too, as members of Ophiuchus agreed to this in your own ways. We take away the competitive element for you, and you live in comfort, without need to fight or hunger. In exchange you may lose the trust of others, or have to carry out harsh sentences. However, we are not restricting you from friendship or companionship, as long as you keep, above all, the game and its rules in mind.

Finally, many of you have no doubt wondered at the significance of these games, and this place. Perhaps they are only for the entertainment of more powerful beings? Or maybe it is a part of our nature, as much as to see shelter and eat food is yours? The story of Sabra la Tau is a very long one, and not one which we explain lightly. However, understand that this place has a significance to us, and we choose to protect it. Yet a place is not alive without a people to inhabit it. The Blanks who dwell here are... vibrant, in a way rarely seen. Your occupation, temporary though it is, protects a place we cherish, and in turn we offer something beyond your own power.

Remember this, but do not share it. All other Blanks play in reaction to the world around them. Ophiuchus alone must take it upon themselves to act. I feel that, should you understand that regardless of our temperaments, we too have a stake in this game, you will act with more confidence in yourselves and in us.
