“Ppffftt- AHAHAHA HAHA!”
The alien starts laughing. You don't remember your Hazaar back home having teeth like that.
“Oh my goodness! Ohoho. It's been <span class="mu-i">so</span> long- those Hazaar!? That must have been, what, two or three millennia ago? I remember when they got those ships and left! Oh, time sure does fly.”
<span class="mu-b">”You know the Hazaar? Are you... not the same species?”</span>
“Oh no, friend. We <span class="mu-i">were</span> the same species. They were an extremist group- Luddites. The Hazaar refused the next stage of our evolution- they continue to use outdated Argon computers instead of the computers we were spawned with; brain-to-machine interfacing! It was no major loss- almost all of them were serfs and peasants, not allowed to leave their home worlds anyway, but a few lesser nobles scrapped together a fleet of ships and left for an uncharted, uninhabited region of space. They even used some biotech machinery to purge their innate desire to serve beings above them, but last I heard they screwed that up and ended up as a bunch of selfish capitalists with no mirror neurons. Hah!”
Is this being saying that it was alive when... when the Hazaar first colonized their space? That was before the Hegemony was even founded. The Hazaar didn't even have FTL technology- or did they actually lose that technology over time? The GSA have more advanced technology then you do- compared to the pre-Baalathi invasion Hazaar at the height of their development; it would be miles beneath them! You aren't sure if this being is lying to you, but you think it's true; that would fit the profile of a luddite...
But you keep getting distracted by another matter- the pink Hazaar's groin. It's totally naked, you're now realizing and there is... no breeding spike? It's just a blank crotch. I mean, you don't exactly <span class="mu-i">like</span> looking at Hazaar spikedicks or anything, but something about this is very weird. There is no genitalia whatsoever. This creature is somehow even more removed from the natural realm then you thought.
“So then, what exactly did you come here to discuss? I'd be more then willing to share our culture with a like-minded aristocrat...”
