"I'm sure some see us as this."The Grey saidb before chuckling. Before Humans achieved true Space flight, one we had abducted for research purposes called me a 'Big headed, butt crammer', what ever a butt crammer was. I assumed it was a native animal to Earth."The Grey said chuckling.

"I'm just saying you need to let some races keep their technology and stop hogging it all for yourself," Latch said. "Do you know how many races just die out because they've become forgotten now that you can do what they could do but better?"

"We arne't hogging it. We'rem oe than willing to share the tech we've used, someone just needs to come up and ask for it. And I highly doubt a species would go extinct because some of their technology was borrowed for purely scientific reasons."The Grey added.

"No?" Latch asked. "Remember the Mescurins? They were a race famous for creating technology that could go through solid metal. They made their living selling their technology. But then YOUR PEOPLE took their technology, and started giving it away for prices they could not match. This ended in worldwide poverty of their species which ultimately ended in their extinction. Want more examples? The Rokoran are a species known for creating devices to see through time, and you stole their technology too. The Harin were a species famous for their light-weight water breathing technology that you ALSO stole! The Camarati are a race famed for their technology over temperature and YOU STOLE THEIR TECH TOO! Now, are you wondering why most people do not recognize these species? Because they DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE! Think about your actions BEFORE you do them."

"The Mescurins were systematically hunted down by the Y'terites. The Y'terites had previously borrowed this technology before we had even begun to try and learn about their technology. I'm not going to pretend the poverty that was caused by my kind didn't play a part in their extinction, but they were well on their way to extinction to begin with, due to the Y'terites developing a biological contaminent that the Mescurin technology couldn't stop. The Rokorans were notorious for their paranoia. They had seen the possible results of expanding their territory, which convinced them that the only way t osurvive was to stay on their home planet. They were too occupied with trying to figure out ways to safely spread through the galaxy to pay attention to their home world's future, and it was engulfed when their sun went into a super nova. The Harin were one of Subject 5840's many unfortunate victims and he systematically wiped them out. Even though their technology could control the weather, the Camarati to a flesh deteriorating virus that spread to each of their worlds, and even a few other worlds."The grey said. "Nobody remembers them because they were all around billions of years ago. The only reason we even remember them is to try to credit them for their technology, and because my people have the compulsive need to keep tabs on other races."The Grey said. "I'm not going to lie, I'm sure some of my people are actively trying to cover up the past to take credit for other's work, but they did not die out because they faded int oobscurity. The yfaded into obscurity because they died out."The grey said.

EDIT: OOP: DUDE! You just gave me an idea!

"SHUT UP!!!" Latch roared, charging after the Grey and started threatening him. "You people are just as evil as Fenrir is! You don't even care that your actions have severe consequences, so you make up these ass-ratted excuses as to how it WASN'T YOUR FAULT THEY DIED OUT! You and your race are scumbags! ...I am only going to ask this once: I want every single bit of OUR technology in YOUR possession destroyed. If I see even one piece of OUR technology in your possession by the time the day is through, I will NOT help you guys fight Fenrir. In fact, I might even help Fenrir."

OOC: Sure, what is it?

The K'zayl quickly picked Latch up, putting him on eye level with her. "Chill out. First off, you have no right to be threatening him. He repaired your eye, and his boss provided you, my mother, and your fat friend a method to leave this planet after dealing with the Zyrack. Hell, if it wasn't for his people, you would be dead right now."She said angrily. "And they're not 'ass-ratted' excuses either! The GA's have acknowledged the reasons those races were whiped out. Go to a library and read up on some of them, they didn't go extinct because of the sky people!"She said. "Alongside that, we weren't the first to use your technology. We only gained access to your technology after your world was destroyed. We salvaged it from the debree of your planet and other star cruisers of your people that Subject 5840 had destroyed. And we weren't even the first to use your technology. The Gortians were the first to salvage your tech. Then Lycranites. Then the Oogross."The grey said. "And I'm in no position to order my people to completely abandon technology."The Grey said.

Too late. They got to it before I did.

Oop: Ok, nvm then. I'll edit my post.

"I've read those books already, they are filled with lies," Latch said. "I don't want to ask this again: destroy our technology from your possession or I won't help."

OOC: What was that idea?

Oop: I don't remember


"How about you try and go to your government and get them to completely abandon a technology at the request of an anonymous cyborg."The grey said. "If you're not helping then get off the ship."The K'zayl said, dropping Latch.

"That technology is all our species has," Latch said. "If you have it, we become irrelevant: forgotten and doomed to perish. If allowing us to prosper is too much to ask for, then you're no better than Fenrir. ...Reggie, or whoever's flying the ship, set me down. I want nothing to do with these worthless thieves." Hypocrite!

"If you're technology is all you have that can possibly help your kind survive the nthere's a problem. Technology shouldn't be all a people have. Even my people don't rely solely on our technology."The grey said. "The destruction of your planet wasn't recent. Your government has had plenty of time to colonize an un-inhabited planet and start rebuilding. And if all your leaders consider for their survival is to use only their technology as profit, then there's a central problem in your government."The grey said. "And even if I wanted to, I couldn't make my people destroy your kind's technology. What you're asking for is impossible, especially for an engineer."The grey said. "What's going on?"Reggie asked over the inter comm.

"It's easy for you to say," Latch stated. "Lush greenery, plenty of edible foods, clean drinking water. Some races don't have much of that. Even on our new planet, resources are scarce. Our technology is our main export. Sometimes we sell it for nothing more or less than food or plant seeds. We were doing okay for a while until YOU stole our technology. The need for our technology has gone down because your species has distributed for asking prices lower than we can afford to offer. To make matters worse, now that we have to start ALL OVER, it's because of YOUR KIND that MY KIND has to go to extremes in order to survive. If you've heard rumors that many Siuradae are thieves, that's because we have no other means of getting by. Our currency is no good anywhere else, and our resources are shrinking every day, so most Siuradae have to resort to the life of crime to get food and water. Is that what makes you happy? IS YOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU THAT SPECIES LIKE THE SIURADAE HAVE TO SUFFER!?!"

"Well, before you condemn my kind, perhaps you should also consider the other races that are underselling even us!"The grey said. "Many of the races your people are selling technology to are simply buying it so they can learn how it works and start producing it themselves."The grey said.

"You would think there are other races, unfortunately we ALSO give our technology security codes to keep them from being passed off as tech by others species," Latch said. "Many species you stole from did the same. However, most people have failed to crack these codes sans your kind. It also doesn't help that you are the grandest of all of these groups who are stealing other techs: as if you're the big head honcho of all thieves."

"Those access codes only prevent reverse programming. Not reverse engineering. And from what I've seen with your tech it's mostly engineering with little to no programming. If you're leaving I'll get the pilot to land, btu don't expect any help from my people."The grey said.

"Those access codes only prevent reverse programming. Not reverse engineering. And from what I've seen with your tech it's mostly engineering with little to no programming," The Grey responded.

"Blah! Blah! Blah! SHUT THE HELL UP AND STOP YOUR (beep) EXCUSES!" Latch shouted. "I refuse to work with prideful scum like you, because it's obvious you want the same thing Fenrir does: you just want to destroy. You don't care at all about the people around you: only about yourselves. ...Good... bye!"

"If you're leaving I'll get the pilot to land, btu don't expect any help from my people," The Grey responded.

"Yeah, "Help" as you call it," Latch said. Latch used the quote-unquote motion with his fingers every time he said the word "Help." "I don't need your "help," I just need your race to stop breeding and die out. The only "help" you can give is to Fenrir's goals, and I will not be accepting your "help" any longer. Now put me down. I am nothing but disposable to you anyway you worthless pile of excrement."

"My people are nothing like 5840. Unlike Subject 5840, we don't go to world after world slaughtering it's people, destroying civilizations and sending entire species into extinction. We don't destroy a planet and then hunt down the lucky few who managed to escape their world's destruction. My people are not to blame for your kind's misfortunes. We aren't to blame for those poor races that went extinct."The grey said. "I am tired of arguing with you about who is responsible for your kind's misfortunes."The grey said before leaving. After a short while the ship began to descend.

"...No. You are the "Watch them die slowly," type," Latch said. "You don't want to just destroy planets and end their misery quickly, you like watching them suffer. As for not being responsible for their downfall, why don't you keep telling yourself that. Buy yourself an ice cream while you're at it, and then maybe a videogame or a girlfriend or a new spaceship. Whatever makes you sleep at night to ignore the scary voices in your head."
