"Humans? I once heard of that name." the commander stopped eating for a moment. "As far as our history goes ... we have a constant contact with a species by that name. They said that they are almost identical to us, with a few unique features. Our ancestors claimed that Humans were once one of the most advanced races in the Galaxy, if not the most." he paused for a while, thinking deeply about the stories he have heard from the elders.
"They said that the humans helped us in letting us advance further to become a space-faring species. And after we've discovered the secrets of matter, the Humans never came back. Our history says that Humans came from a planet called T--", he briefly stops to think again, the word at the tip of his tongue.
"Terra. Yeah, a planet named Terra. And if I have it correctly, it is located somewhere in this galaxy, not faraway from our home world. We tried to find them. But seems that their star-system can't be located on the map. It seems that they're gone from existence. There's a lore that claimed that the Humans were devoured by their greed and spread slaughter among their own species, pitting brothers against brothers, fathers against sons, until they destroyed their own sun. And vanished forever." he stood silent, breathing for a second.
"But that's just a lore. We believe that they're still out there. Maybe a nomadic species. Or maybe have an exodus to another galaxy eons before the onset of the Reaper War, before we even first braved the space." He looked at the astonished Chrymerion, "Our ancestors claim they are our brothers, separated by the fate of the universe, scattered by the insatiable hunger to explore the deep darkness of the void. If that is true, if you're really the one who seeded them along with the other future sentient species..." the commander looked deeply into the eyes of the Chrymerion, searching for answers.
