Its worth pointing out we are basically just another chess piece to the ascians or we have been in the past. For them we have been a contributor to the chaos that fills the world. That has changed as the ascians have come to realise we have moved beyond their means to control effectively and are now a direct threat rather than simply a pawn to be used.
