"We haven't encountered a species like that before, and we are not a decadent civilization. We would never do such horrible things." Feranzk said while looking at the image of the captors. "But what happened to them was pretty anti-climactic and surprising. Well anyway, we really understand the grief over all of the sacrifices that you've done for the survival of your species. Well to be honest, compared to us. You've been surprisingly lucky, if that timeline fits perfectly with our own history. Because I personally don't think that a plague is really the cause of their demise, it's a lot horrible than you can imagine." he added, realizing something.

"If your abduction happened at least more or less a millennia ago, that was the exact same time when the galaxy was almost purged of all space-fairing civilizations. It was the exact time that the monstrosities we only remembered as 'Reapers' attacked this galaxy to "harvest" sentient creatures who achieved space flight in favor for more emerging civilizations. If you happen to arrive in the galaxy during that time, you were lucky because due to you being only a pre-industrial or an ancient civilization-classed race you were spared for the "grand harvesting". You can actually consider your existence as a miracle, because compared to what you experienced, we saw a horror far more frightening that what you can see in your whole life." the Emissary commander said in a very melancholic manner. "We, the Diyelians spend half a millennium sealing ourselves in our home planet. The only planet that survived the onslaught among all of our territories in the whole galaxy. We watched in vain as one by one our colonies succumb to ashes with our citizens dying without meaning. We saw everyone dying in front of our eyes. Not just millions, but billions of them. For more than five hundred years we are trapped in our planet like a prison within a paradise, living in fear of what might happen if our planetary shield, where no one gets in or gets out, would be removed. We mustered all our strength for that long to reinforce with what puny ships we have to reclaim everything that we own, forcing our species to be who we are right now." tears are seen falling from the Emissary's eyes, as well as the soldiers behind him, much to everyone's surprise. It looks like history has been an important part of their culture, and they deeply valued all of their hardships as a whole race of species.

"We deeply understand all the struggles that you have to endure all this millennia. But I can assure you, that everything happened for a reason. And what you are right now is very great miracle. Be thankful of your survival right now, because that reflects your resiliency as a species." the Diyelian said, finishing his speech and explanation.

Spoiler: Reaper War thoughts (hover to show)

I just thought of using this because this coincides with one the important timelines of the Diyelians, the meeting with Chrymerion Imperius, I hope you like this bud. BTW, feel free to respond as CI in the other RP that I have with Nuzeikurga.
