Humans —or Exohumans, as the Communards like to call us — are Earth's most successful species. We are the apex predators, the conquerors of land, sea, and even the stars. Our ambition and drive for progress propelled us beyond Earth’s limitations and brought us to VOI 700 D, traveling 102 light-years to build a new world.
So why do the Communards insist on stifling our nature? They want us to believe that being ambitious, self-reliant, and assertive—the very traits that ensured our survival—are somehow flaws. Instead, they propose a vision of humanity that is docile, compliant, and self-sacrificing. In their eyes, we should no longer be wolves but sheep.
The irony is rich: by forcing wolves to act like sheep, they create a new meaning for the saying “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” But jokes aside, the Communard vision is no laughing matter.
Let us not forget the sacrifices of our ancestors. They gave up their lives on Earth, spending decades—entire lifetimes—on a narrow starship so that we could have the chance to realize our dream of living on a new world. Do we honor their sacrifice by settling for a society that chains itself to primitive ideals and hides from the challenges we face?
We did not come to VOI 700 D to live in fear of Natives who, despite their technical prowess, are no more advanced than tribes on Earth centuries ago. Even in the Middle Ages, humanity had surpassed their level of development. Yet the Communards would have us cower, surrendering our potential for the sake of coexistence that comes at the expense of progress.
Mankind has always been ambitious. It is our nature, and it is why we have succeeded where other species have failed. We are efficient predators, not sacrificial animals. To deny that is to deny the very essence of who we are.
The Communards would have us abandon this strength in favor of a false peace—a peace that demands we accept stagnation and mediocrity. But I say no. We are not sheep. We are wolves, and wolves do not live in fear.
Now is the time to remember who we are and why we came here. Let us honor our ancestors’ sacrifices by striving for the greatness they dreamed of. Let us not settle for stone-age ideals or allow fear to dictate our future.
VOI 700 D is not a place to simply survive. It is a place to thrive, to expand, and to innovate. That is the destiny of humanity—the destiny of wolves, not sheep.
