"Yes, yes we will." Said Dmitri "Sorry for that misunderstanding, always a danger in intergalactic negotiations. We request that we choose the best of our species through some sort of system, designed by us. Perhaps a contest. Besides that, I do not agree with you. Humanity is nothing special, we're nothing more than a speck of dust floating through the universe. It may be significant to us, but in the big picture, our existence doesn't matter. When Humanity is gone, nobody will care, no tears will be shed. Our death will most likely come from rightful retribution, after we fell back to our true state. The state of warfare, of conquering. That is what humans have always been, we just hide it with our shame, but we know what happens when we lose our shame. Billions die, all because we don't agree with each other. We are inferior, not superior, and we can never change that. We did evolve without any help, but we evolved to become a twisted species driven by our own desires. We can never be anything else. I honestly do see why anyone would ever want to preserve humanity."

The AIF has made sure that the Supremes know that the Aeternals will comply with the preservation, but will not go through the same selection process as the others due to their small numbers. This has also been made a holiday, as they are the first non-Terragen full species to join the Federation. One has to wonder just how many holidays the Federation has, as they seem to just make every day one.

[b]Kepler-186 F, Capital Medical Center[/b]
A medical research team swarmed around the strange object, scans were unable to penetrate the armor, though they suspected there was a living creature inside. Finally, the governor of the colony arrived at the room. The doctors ran over to her, telling her everything they knew, which amounted to almost nothing. They did know it was involved in the earthquake and tsunami, along with a wormhole that opened up [i]on the ocean floor[/i]. Despite frantic warning, the governor walked right up to the thing, and looked at where the eyes of a humanoid would be.
"Welcome to Kepler-186 F. If you're genuinely in distress, then my people can help you. If this is a test, which is more likely, then let's get on with it."
