\n\n"That's my Earth name.

We've lived in peace and never harmed anyone for a long time now. How did you awake? Did the Holy Sandman bring you back to life? Have you come in peace or are you here to harm us?"\n\n[[slow down...|tribe16]]

He who freed the first off us, including me. He gave us our Space names and baptized us into a new world where he'd promise to watch over us.
