Arrish silently missed the voice of Griff during the lesson, complaining about it being lame and boring, because that was honestly how he felt when he had to rehash knowledge he had already been schooled on, but he wasn't about to compromise his integrity by whining about knowing something because maybe there would be something new to learn between the lines. What's more, he had to put on a good impression for Lorenzo if he wanted to have that talk with him about Aurora being allowed to work on and do diagnostics on the framewerks. If all else failed, maybe he could get Aurora to work on his framewerk so she would have something. Something was the problem. Something new in particular. His He had been taught about the Cruxi Castes when he was still a young child but he had never been told how humanity knew the castes had existed, or how those castes were seperated. It had always been through the lens of humanities understanding of how a society works, but hadn't there been other species that lived alongside humanity that were nothing like us? [color red]"Excuse me, Professor Lorenzo, but how do we know the Cruxi have a caste system? Is it possible that these biologically engineered specialist species are a slave race, or more like drones to an animal colony?"[/color] There was something else he wanted to know as well, or rather, he wanted his classmates to be aware of. Serah, a young woman that he had thought had been someone's child until just now, asked a very important question about if the Cruxi could communicate. He nodded sagely, and followed up her question with another.[color red]"Furthermore, I think it would be important to know about humanities attempts at diplomacy with the Cruxi. Aside from a language barrier, Historically, what are the reasons our attempts at diplomacy with the Cruxi have failed and why does humanity no longer continue to make these attempts?"[/color] He thought about his other classmates questions as well. They had been about the threat; Questions about the creatures they would be facing in battle and scenarios they could or would be confronted with. Maybe it would be important to add why the Cruxi were such a threat. [color red]"Final question for now, what makes the Cruxi such a great threat to humanity? Putting it simply, a single framewerk pilot is a powerful asset that can take down and assail multiple combatants. We also have powerful battleships that can eradicate and destroy Cruxi vessels. I understand that their technology is like nothing we've seen before, but technology is only one part of the bigger picture."[/color] He rubbed his throat from the strain of speaking so loud and so much. There was so much to learn, and it felt like there was never enough time to prepare.[color red]"What else do we need to be aware of?"[/color]
