[b]Alas Prime[/b]

Grand Vessel Garama'kum was taken aback--hopefully not visibly--by the statement. The multicolored veins behind her temples throbbed violently as her blood pressure and mental activity increased drastically.

[i]A divine power given to all of those that aren't chosen by the Gods?! Heresy! That completely contradicts existent religious constitution![/i] she thought to herself. 

"We apologize for our ignorance, but we do not seem to see how that could work. Just by looking at us, or the ambassador, you can see that our physiology is radically different from your own. We have, over time, grown to not rely on divine powers as you have. We see to it that a true worker and a true contributor to society is one that does not need aid like that to survive. However, that is our own appeal. The problem with projecting influence onto it is that it conflicts with Sazkarjhit holy constitution; where we believe that those born with these powers are the children of the Gods. Seeing as how all Eternal Union species seem to possess it, we were honestly a bit surprised. We do not mean it with a malicious or critical intent, but as both a government official and as a religious leader I would not necessarily approve of a change like that."
