"We found out that we aren't the only ones in this universe. Turns out that the other guys are much more afraid of us than we are of them. Our species thrived on a Death World, after all." "Oh, wait. The name's Ahi. I work for R. E. D., otherwise known as Regent Exploration Division. I scout out planets for potential threats, and my employers capture and sell portions of these planets to other parties." "Scouts don't exactly have a long life expectancy. After a while, we start to realize that we work for corrupt organizations, then the corrupt organization catches wind of you knowing and sends you to a Death World. You know, planet designed to kill little squishy organics like humans?" "Anyways, I hold the record for the most completed explorations. I also hold the record for the most escapes from Death Worlds. And I guess if you're listening to this log book recording, I probably messed up and got myself eaten by some kind of super-predator. Adios." The canine robot with a built in AI blinked as the audio file closed out. His scanners focused on the red-haired male who was asleep in the chair next to him. The voice belonged to a much younger male, one who still had hope in his voice. How time had marked his new master was far beyond the AI's knowledge.

"Those aliens are not my concern, the Earth and her populations are. Now, Callisto of the Scout Regiment to Salutem, as a citizen of this planet and a soldier under my command-" "I stopped being a soldier a long time ago. And those aliens have done nothing to you, you didn't even know they existed until I told you about them. I joined this mission not because I was ordered to, but because I wanted to carve my name in history. But I will not mark my namesake as a murderer of the very first species we have found that is on par with human intelligence! If my legacy is to be the protector of those you refuse to acknowledge, then so be it." The room hissed and flowed with whispers and gossip between the different board members, like a waterfall being heard through thick earmuffs. The only voice to be clearly heard was Director Striker himself. "You are rooting for a lost cause, soldier. It is the manifest destiny of us humans to reach out and touch the stars. And if the only way to touch those stars is to sacrifice a few savages, then that is what we must do." Callisto felt her anger towards a man she once admired swell in her chest and wash through her veins with a burning fire. He was proposing mass genocide simply because he wanted what belonged to them. The wheel of history turns, but nothing is ever new it seemed. "Have you read a history book in your life, Director Striker? Manifest destiny is used a mere few pages before a genocide. It's not a motivation, it's an excuse." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fair warning: this is my very first original story so please be kind to my baby, she is a lifelong passion and a labor of love. •••COMPLETED••• •Please do not copy or post anywhere outside of these pages.
