“Though our mining of the asteroid belt and harvesting of fuel from Jupiter has accessed less than a thirtieth of the resource potential the earth still holds, we have created a common standard of living which surpasses that of those still living on our once green homeworld!” She proclaims this fact proudly, and even you can’t help but swell with pride at the truth of it as well; you have seen the squalor of so much of Earth first hand, the camps and slums, and there are only a few colonies with such poor conditions these days, “To our brothers and sisters still upon the earth, to <span class="mu-i">all</span> Earthnoids who have yet to join us among the stars, ask yourselves a simple question: How could this be the case? How could the Federation have allowed the Earth’s bounty to be squandered so terribly while so much of its beauty is forever lost? How can the unwanted cast-offs of the Federation have created such prosperity after being forced from their old home?”
“The answer is simple!” Vivima sounds almost like Gihren now, her tone more fiery with every word despite the surface of peacefulness born by the message, “Those who lead the Federation are mired in the past, weighed down by gravity! They and all who see as they do are driven only by a thoughtless greed and lust for power, they care <span class="mu-i">nothing</span> for you or the value of your life. Their arrogance and selfish desires would see mankind forever cling to the earth like parasites, so long as they remained at the top of the growing garbage heap! People of the Earth, reject this fate! The Sides have faced this same oppression and indifference, and we have begun to overcome it by coming together as a people - we have developed a new consciousness, one which looks beyond the self and to the other, an awareness of life, and time, and space as a single flowing existence. If you are skeptical of my words, or do not grasp them, look at our works and cooperation and you will understand. Seethe unity we have forged even when so many still whisper and spread lies of disharmony - the proof is plain to see.”
