I agree with the others, the use of the cycle of violence as the infinite loop is a good take on the theme. I also like how you focused on the Skirmish side of things rather than the larger, galactic factions!
Your story is brilliant. I tried to do something similar in my tale, but failed and changed the theme. You, nailed it perfectly. I almost could hear Fallout narrator saing "violence, it never changes" in the back...
I appreciate shining a light on what would be common baddies in a lot of other circumstances. The endless loop of violence feels a lot more believable when you can (briefly) see their pain.
Yeah - it's a surprisingly useful tool, not too much so as to make them sympathetic, but just enough to make them seem like people.
I didn't find the infinite part in the story, neverless, it was a good story, I loved the twins and the ceremony
Violence and hatred generates more violence and hatred. Some hours later the butcher will be raiding an Aleph hideout, another "poor" soul will be snatched, and the cycle will continue...
This was brilliant. The book-ending with revenge cycle hit much harder than I expected it to.
