Humans are Monsters, A Documentary

When new species ask why the Humans are so important or high up in the Union they are met with a few answers. The person simply doesn’t know or they tell them they manage the law and make everything work. Most aren't satisfied with those answers and seek more, but often never find anything satisfactory. They see Humanity as a weak, but convenient species, whose function is respected but nothing much more. The fact that Humans are rarely seen on other worlds, besides the Union’s envoise and an embassy, adds more to their mystery.

To most it seems as if Humans simply appeared and were there at the right time and place to assist in the forming of UM. A neutral party to draw the laws and make sure everything was fair and just. They were good at their job and employed every race in making sure the regulations were followed. No one questioned their authority, none had any ill will towards them, and wanted the benefits the Union provided. That’s how Humans stayed where they were, unquestioned.

What they don’t know are the two other species that existed before the Unions formation. The Vidikose, those who see eternally, and Balrar, children of Gods. They, together with the client races and those forcefully assimilated were the dominant forces in the Milky Way, or the explored part. They met at the System now known as The Graveyard, once a promising solar system with four garden worlds with a radius of roughly 8,000 to 24,000 km. Pure gems.

The only problem were the three species that already settled it. The Jarniti, keepers of life, along with Trgovci, collectors of life, and lastly the Humans, a name without meaning. Or so they want you to think, for they hide their true name from the universe. They are the Homo Sapiens, the wise man. How insidious that true name is and its implications are so unnoticeable to us it is frightening. Not just for their diplomatic skills, which are unparalleled, or their understanding of matter, the first to teach us of atoms and the world we don’t see. None of those are what this documentary is about, what we found is going to shake the Union to its core.

Humans are monsters.
