I can't remember quite where, as it's been almost two months now, and I haven't recorded/rewatched any cutscenes from DT, but there is some point DT story where Sphene tells WoL and Co. that she'll value her people over us no matter what, and become a devourer of worlds, that when two nations cannot come to peaceful terms there's only one resolution, and we get a response that's more or less, "Then let's resolve this."

That along with the other options kind of harken back to the kill or be killed nature of SHB's confrontation with Emet-selch. The hopeful, "Find another way." is there in the dialogue, but the process was started, so said she.
