->''"When the early Union explorers reached out into space, they acted more like missionaries than observers. Not in the religious sense, there was no proselytizing or anything like that. But they wanted to help. When they got to Gendel 3, they found a divided world, bristling with nuclear weapons, continents sliced up by national borders. So they landed. They revealed themselves, their technology, everything. They figured it was the right thing to do, that maybe they could help this planet skip over the nasty growing pains that all worlds seemed to have to go through. But they couldn't control the spread. Nation-states fought each other, wars broke out everywhere, because they all wanted to use the advancements for personal gain and for political dominance. They wiped themselves out in five years, nine billion people gone. After that, new laws were put in place. Strict prohibitions when it came to cultural contamination. And all they tried to do was help."''

The Partnership talked about [=A6K=]'s great works as tombs and temples to greed, but that's their fucking existence. That's the world they've built. That's the art they've made.\\
We need to let them make their own statements. We need to let them define their own identity. It's bullshit, but it's less bullshit than the alternative. We're the system now. We are. The system. We've gotta' look generations ahead. We can help them now, but then their kids' kids' kids' kids are just going to be us. If we're going to be the authority, we won't be the authority that destroys originality. We're gonna' be cool.\\

-->''It makes for a good science-fiction adventure to have the captain say something along the lines of "Prime Directive be damned." It makes for much better science-fiction, however, to have the captain able to say in frank honesty "I have no idea what this Prime Directive concept is, and it sounds like foolishness that belongs in [[Franchise/StarTrek another universe entirely]]. Go away. I have work to do." If you persisted in whining about native cultures, that captain would have no choice but to shoot you.''
