Not necessarily our world, but those beyond it. Unlike yours, our society -- and likewise, our capabilities -- were kept completely open. Our knowledge and power was to be shared unconditionally with all those who needed it.

But there are those who cannot be gifted power-- they have to take it for themselves, consume it, leaving behind nothing but ruin in their wake. [somberly.] And that was to be the ultimate fate of my people for ten thousand years following the attack on our world: to exist little more as a handful of relics left behind on a planet that moved on.

[an incongruous laugh -- it's forced, a lame attempt at a joke.] I'm somewhat of a relic myself, as you can see. Even after all this time, I still believe in openness.
