<p><b>"Doña Annara, perhaps I only speak for the common Telthani, but I find this talk of blowing up the ship and gate very unsettling. It has been half a millenia since we have been part of the greater universe. For most of us the hustle of life has become harder and hard. There are many who are poor and disaffected, people who would sell all to gamble at a chance at exploring the universe and becoming something great. It may mean giving up sovereignty to be part of this Solomani Confederation, but if the choice is to fade away into obscurity, I think it is worth it.
