Remember that in every single case in nature the process of adaptation has been one of exceeding slowness. Do not look for the impossible, but do not let your path deviate from the quiet and steadfast insistence on full opportunities for your powers. If it is claimed that your race is doomed to inferiority, we will confidently look to the home of your ancestors and say that we have set out to recover for your people the strength that was their own before they set shackled feet on the distant worlds of their oppressors. Remember, even in science-- particularly a science of the past-- there is no truth, only approximation; In nature their is no punishment and no reward-- only consequences. But in space, well... space is as much about your future as it is your past, and if its endless possibilities can't seduce you to reimagine and reclaim your freedom, nothing can.
