>>101128923>You know? He could've done it differently with the Alteans. Like harvest enough quintessence so that they wouldn't end up like shriveled corpses. Not to mention use a different harvesting technique that wouldn't involve putting them in tanks.There’s no evidence there is another method; this very well could be the only way he discovered how to draw out the quintessence. How do you know he wasn’t working on more effective ways?
It’s every likely he was, after all, he was using them as a source of energy for the pure quintessence and only got small supply of the stuff.
>Also could've tell them that he's extracting quintessence from them for medical purposes while also making sure he'd have more colonies. Oh yeah, that’s going to work out well.
>Oh, btw I need to harvest some of your quintessence for “medical purposes”This isn’t going to draw any suspicion at all from the colony, who has never had this practice or needed to do this for medical reasons. Especially since there now in a region where they have no where to escape from (realistically they wouldn’t be able to with those little ships vs his giant armada) where only Lotor they’re here.
>This way he'd have more test subjects and thus more quintessence to extract. Having too big of a population could lead to problems for his control over them. Keeping them in small numbers and weak is preferable to having more than having slightly more quintessence.
>Alternatively extract even less of it due to more Alteans being around and constantly multiplying.Could lead to them wanting to leave because they feel there strong enough to resist the Galra now or have enough people to start a resistance.
