"That's... incredible. Our ancestors spent ten years, on that colony ship, before they arrived here," he said, letting out a low whistle... which is echoed, momentarily, by the teapot.

They weren't quite expecting the... harsh conditions of this planet, and we degraded further than anyone expected. Still, we eked out an existence for many years.. and then the change came. Many of us ended up like... well, like you see us now, and like yourself. Others? Others turned... dark. Their skin, and their personalities, darkened to a deepest black. They dwell in the dense forests and occasionally in caves, usually moving only at night. And they've been waging war on us, ever since."
