Do you think that we have not been asking questions? That we had simply blindly accepted what we had been told? Or had you simply come to assume that because you could not see that which had been learned that it was of no importance? That we had become lazy and complacent; blithely accepted that which we had been given? That which we may not truly enjoy?

[A pause, both to let the barrage of questions sink in and to give Emet a moment to reign his emotions in, somewhat.]

We are none of us here of our own accord. But to jeopardize what little good-will may have existed between we who have been called to this world by forces we do not understand and may never understand is folly. To then claim that you have "destroyed nothing" is a gross misrepresentation of the truth. You may not have destroyed buildings, it is true. But you have shattered the natives' trust in we who are as guests in this world. Destroyed what little progress has been made in earning that trust. And for what? For curiosity? Impatience?

If there are answers you seek, seek them out through other means.
