Chet-7

Dutiful soldier and assassin of Calus, Chet-7 prides himself in his speed and agility as a titan, enough to rival that of a hunter. As a new light, Chet was curious to find that his ghost was unlike the others, the small floating object having a form reminiscent of a vex harpy. He would later find out it was due to it being damaged while searching for who to resurrect, and due to lack of parts in the environment the vex technology would be the next best thing. Because of these damages, the ghost can no longer speak, and rather chitters and chirps to communicate. While troublesome at first, after it created a translator to be installed in Chet, the two are able to speak and understand one another. Later when Chet would begin his apprenticeship with Calus, this proves useful as his ghost could speak without worrying others may overhear it.

And here's where you'd put a story. On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided.

But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains. But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?
