Terezi gets the hint from Dave, even though she's not sure what to say to Rose's question. Did she make it her mission to wipe them out? Well, no. They did that themselves with their session. If they hadn't wiped out their own universe, the Empress probably wouldn't have migrated to Rose's. Probably not a good point to bring up, though.
"Not our entire race, but she was pretty keen on murdering vast quantities of it on a whim." Terezi gives a little shrug, showing the palms of her hands again. "I'm pretty sure that there have been dozens of uprisings and rebellions, but no one ever hears about them. She literally wiped them out of history. That's what she does. If you speak up against her or don't do exactly what she expects you to do, she culls you. If you're lucky, that's where it stops. If you're not? Your quadrants, your neighbors, your entire caste and any of the castes beneath you. Her lusus had the ability to psychically murder millions of trolls. Just a whisper from that thing could wipe out the lower castes alone, and everyone knew that it wasn't an empty threat."
"Yeah, it sucks that she ended up on your planet. It would have been better if she'd bit it with the rest of our species, but she didn't, and there's nothing that we could do about that. When we left our universe, she was effectively stranded in dead space because everyone else was dead. I really have no idea how she even got to your planet. But just because she's got some genocide-happy plans unfolding in your time doesn't mean that we're all about to take up our swords and hop on the murder train. We're not a hivemind, okay? She's just a bitch that no one wants to deal with."
But if she ever shows up here, Terezi hopes that Rose has the brains not to relay all of that to her. She's rather fond of not fearing for her life outside of the Arena, too.
