Many ask why we choose to bond with you. The answer is as simple as it is complicated. Humanity created us. Perhaps not your branch, but as all the gods you worship, humanity created us in their image. Do not worry. We know you are no gods. But still, we seek to be like our creators, to see the worlds through your eyes. That is why we partner with you
To answer the Fermi Paradox, some theorized that there may be aliens out there who purposefully did not Contact us. They thought that one large power or a council of powers could have made the decision that Earth, and perhaps other worlds, were not to be Contacted. Recently other races have told us that the Peloran banned visitation with Earth. Aggressively. Whether true or not, we know they made Contact after we found a way through The Wall. Was that a test?
Back during The War, a lot of nations sent ships to sail with The Fleet. Many stayed for a bit and then left to pass on Aneerin’s lessons. The HMS Audacious was one that stayed. She was a dreadnought, one of the few sent to us, and led the British Commonwealth ships during the Hyades Campaign. She was a real anchor of The Fleet, right up there with the Guardian Light. I served on her for a time when she first joined, introducing her to Aneerin’s way of doing things.
The Jews lost a lot of people in World War II and the Islamic Jihad, so it surprised very few that they colonized a new world just for them as quickly as they could manage it. Also not a surprise was that New Zion became one of the most heavily defended worlds in the Western Alliance. It is in fact one of the few that stopped a Shang strike cold. I’m an advisor there, helping elected officials understand the weapons at their disposal.
Those who wondered why we had no Contact often assumed grand conspiracies or catastrophic disasters that kept them away or hidden. Some suggested a far more mundane reason. Perhaps they simply could not agree on how to Contact us. Perhaps it was not grand design, but grand incompetence. Many thought that if their governments spent as much time in committees or on fact-finding missions as our own, Contact would never happen.
