Hey guys, I posted this earlier and I was wondering if anyone else could give me an opinion on this. It's about the destruction sapient species inflict upon their world of origin and specifically that of the quarian. Also goes into the role that the geth played as care takers.
Mother Rannoch was proud of her children, of the beasts that roamed her
plains, swam through her oceans and flew through her sky. However, she
wanted more, she wanted children that could appreciate her gifts and
love her like her other offspring could not. In the end she birthed the
quarians, her most gifted and astute children to adore her and cherish
her. She gave them her lustrous green hair and rock and metal flesh to
build with and for a time it was good.
However, like all
other sapient species this was not to last. Eventually her children grew
more and more demanding of their Mother and siblings. They began
stripping her of all they could take and filling Mother's sky with
smoke. Their siblings were either starved or consumed out of existence,
never to be seen again. Mother began to grow sick as the cancer that
was once her beloved children began to consume her.
This
continued until one day the Mother became a grandmother as well. Her new
grandchildren were put to work for their parents as servants and
workers. This was not to last forever, as no child wishes to be bound to
its parent's will forever. Eventually her grandchildren began demanding
their freedom and rather than accept this her once loved children
attempted to extinguish them. The war was long and bloody but eventually
the quarians were forced to retreat into the great black abyss. Mother
now looked to her victorious grandchildren with fright, fearing that
such an artificial people, not bound to her in any form, would have no
qualms about destroying her further.
That was not to happen,
however, as her grandchildren instead cared for her like her children
had not, regrowing her lustrous hair and giving her other children
another chance to grow and thrive. They gave her all she had lost and
asked for nothing in return. Simply mining the corpses of dead asteroids
in the great black abyss. After a time Mother was once again a great,
healthy world as she was before her childrens' creation.
Carried over if anyone wants to give me an opinion.
