SSJ Kalki. (NOT to be confused with Kali, who is something else).

In Hinduiusm, Kalki is the harbinger of the end-time. Also known as the destroyer of ignorance and filth, Kalki removes all that is a blemish or darkness to existence itself.

To those considered a blemish, even those well intended, Kalki is probably interpreted as being unfair, as a bully that brings death and destruction upon those people while seemingly lacking any clear motivation. In truth, Kalki's purpose is beyond the knowledge and understanding of these people and Kalki feels it is justified in fulfilling this task, finding no reason to explain itself to those who are so absorbed in selfish conflict that they would never even understand. Those not spared by Kalki will most likely choose their last word to be: "But why..?"

Kalki's final purpose is to bring a close to the 'age of wickedness' where men kill men and to usher in the 'age of truth', where men have finally come to understand the purest of ideals and that there's more important things to the whole of existence than narrow-minded gains, putting personal conflict and petty disagreement aside to build or construct a better world together. The day that happens, is the day when Kalki's work is done, the day where Kalki at last serves no more purpose.

Kalki is also a metaphor for eternity. Perhaps for after Kalki, men will be builders who prosper for eternity. Or perhaps for that striving to find this truth and greater purpose is a never ending journey.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!
* z64555 erases "Thursday" and rewrites it in red ink

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

 
Nailed it!  :nod:
