I reserve the right to refuse to answer any questions

I'm curious. Is your species a more evolved offshoot of the human race? Or a completely unique species in and of itself? Are the two able to intermingle genetically?

[not-prncss-tldr.livejournal.com]

We Abh were created as slaves, "exploration bioroids". We eventually broke free of our creator's control.

Abh cannot have viable children without genetic alteration. When a person born a lander who was accepted as an Abh decides to have children, the fetus's genes are altered to Abh characteristics while retaining as many of the parents' genetic traits as possible.

...That's messed up. Wasn't slavery outlawed hundreds of years ago?

Your world... makes me angry.

We are not bitter. They paid an excessive price for it and we have been free for a long time.

[unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Really? No price seems high enough for bioengineering a race of slaves.

How does death sound? After my ancestors escaped, they became paranoid, having no way of knowing what the home planet was planning to do to them, wether they were going to send a fleet after us.

So they attacked first, destroyed their city, massacred them until they went tumbling off into the vacuum.

But they had no intention of pursuing us.

That is the guilt every Abh carries on their shoulders. That is why we modeled our culture on theirs, to preserve some aspect of them.

Yeah. Well, sounds about right. You don't get to just create slaves for you to use without having to pay a price. They got what they deserved. It was a sound tactical move.

And the children there and others who didn't participate in our slavery? It was a dishonorable act. There's no justifying it.
