"I'm glad you asked Emer." He said as he offered the Knight a seat as he walked over to an area with some rather comfortable looking furniture. Leo sat down on a couch, relaxing a bit, motioning for Emer to join him on the couch across from him. "I saw opportunity."
He set his drink to the side on a coaster. "You're right, Repliforce was declining. Colonel, while doing his best, could not handle it on his own. I respect his position in the Repliforce, and the effort he has made to preserve it. However, despite some of the choices he made, I respect Colonel. In a world that has mostly turned it's back on him, he was doing what he believed to be the best for Repliforce."
He closed his eyes, sighing slightly.
"But unfortunately, it would not have ended well if I had not stepped in. I saw the dangers. X and Colonel have too much pride. However, X has friends of equal trust and power to help balance him out. Colonel did not have that. I acquired Repliforce with the intention of peace. That was one of the reasons."
"Another reason was because humanity is declining Emer." He said quietly, his tone very serious. "At least on Earth. More and more Reploids are being produced, and more and more humans are leaving for the Colonies. Humans are losing power, and that brings fear to them. Jakob Corporation is a beacon of humanity, so it would make sense that they would trust me. Have you wondered why many didn't question the acquisition of Repliforce? Don't get me wrong, there was some questioning done, but I was able to acquire it without much trouble."
He leaned forward, crossing his fingers together.
"Jakob Corporation, while heavily encourages to blur the line between humanity and Reploid-kind, still keeps human interests quite high. We create Reploids to help people, we created the Orbital Elevator to heal our wounded economy, and to give people the chance to leave Earth, if they so wish. We made space travel affordable to people who could not see their families in space, because travel was too expensive."
However, his smile returned.
"I took control of Repliforce to give humanity another chance, and to heal the broken bonds between the two species. If I am able to end a war, bring peace, and hope back to people, then I feel that my decision was justified. I do not wish to use Repliforce for my own needs, nor do I wish to abuse it or tarnish it's name. I saw an opportunity to help people, and to bring confidence back to humanity, so I took it."
