To Captain Kiu Sercas of the Malkonkordo,
|
|
|
|
Again, you miss our point.
|
|
|
|
We are a fleeing group of Terrans who are intending to find ourselves a new
|
|
place among the stars.
|
|
|
|
Many planets are already inhabited by other established species.
|
|
|
|
I ask you, what use would 500 random people have against other species?
|
|
|
|
No, while our goal IS to populate a new planet, any 500 people wouldn't do. We
|
|
have, on board, 400 of the most daring, strong, and well trained soldiers in
|
|
the Space Corps. The remaining 100? Crew members to oversee the ship's
|
|
maintenance (myself included).
|
|
|
|
If I tried to abandon our goal, they would slaughter me.
|
|
|
|
No, we aren't simply repopulating. We're making ourselves a home planet.
