*This part of the story comes from the Melnorme, and is the same as part 1, but more extensive and better thought out. It comes in 9 parts. For the U-Quan side of the story, go to part 1.*
"Please sell us historical information""The Ur-Quan evolved on a harsh planet orbiting a star outside this region of space. They were solitary predators, like your praying mantis, Captain, or polar bear...who had a very limited set of social behaviors, most of which dealt with sex. Since they had to compete for survival against many physically superior species...the Ur-Quan evolved intelligence and tool use, in much the same way as your own species. The Ur-Quan also learned to master their fierce territoriality to build a cooperative planetary culture. When the Ur-Quan were discovered by the Taalo, they had just begun exploring their solar system...in crude atomic vehicles. Although the Ur-Quan attacked what they thought to be an invader, the Taalo were patient. They explained the purpose of the Sentient Milieu, and offered the Ur-Quan membership. The Ur-Quan recognized the benefits that such a system provided...and once more conquered the hunting beast within themselves...to become cooperative, productive members of the Milieu. This lasted for several thousands of years. Your present balance is 525 Credits." -Part 1--Part 2- |
