But it's over. You've lost. You plans for being a galactic overlord are as finished as your navy. And I won't deny a tremendous amount of satisfaction for having a part in derailing it. You massacred millions, including a very large part of my family. But , my need for vengeance will have to be unfulfilled. I cannot and will not shoot a man armed only with his bare hands." She steps aside as three treecats step forward, Nimitz Samantha and Moonlight Dancing . "However, we've decided that since Moonlight Dancings entire clan was wiped out by your "Oyster Bay", that the Treecats of Sphinx should be allowed to issue their own brand of justice." Ends with three sibilant hisses...and screams .
I've had similar ideas along this line except Detweiler is introduced to Sorrow Singer of Black Rock Clan and her brother Shadow Hunter of Moonlight Dancing Clan. Then he is acquainted with the treecats notion of dealing with enemies.
