"Humans are petty and juvenile until they are not. When they are not, they do the right thing." - Andi Atgeirr "The Redeemer and the Dugr are capable of many wondrous things." - Jirmina, Plentari Warrior and Emissary to EarthThe artificial intelligence analysis of the mission profile calculated the mission success at fifty-fifty.
