This one was about a geroo named Darian who finds a lio refugee on board their ship while the krakun were present. The lio are presently at war with the slaver krakuns, so keeping them safe is a huge crime. Krakuns are also extremely hostile to people who go against them, so one hidden lio could mean 7000 geroo abandoned to the cold of space.
This is a story of one geroo who makes a very simple choice of compassion that very clearly puts his entire people at risk of extermination. He choses to save the life of a lio who just doesn't want to be a slave, but if he is found out, everybody dies and there is no way out. This was a very interesting moral story, because, no matter what he does, every decision is morally questionable.
This was also a good story to learn about the lio. They are kind of like the Klingons of this universe but look like lions. I liked them, and seeing the cultural differences with the kind-hearted and physically weaker geroo race made for some good reading. I recommend the story!

Moral dilemmas are because evil has the knife to our throat. It is always difficult to do the right thing accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIt was really rough, but it ended up okay.
DeleteFacing such a threat just screams of the need for rebellion. Things are not going to get better and they just might get worse. It is quite the moral quandary, because the decision is being made by one lone individual.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this was a tough one.
