`` They call us monsters, son'' 
 
 `` Why?'' 
 
 `` For some ignorance is bliss, but for others it is more than that. For those ignorance is a way of life, it is something to be preserved, something to be valued above all else. They do not want to know who or what we really are.'' 
 
 Booms echoed through the broken city behind them. Sirens blared warning to the few who remained.

 Aiken looked down at his son, `` The Empire believes the things we do to be defiling humanity, they do not accept that we are the next step. I hope one day we will return here and they will finally see that we are improving upon mother nature's design.'' 
 
 The bioships were designed from the ground up for one purpose: to break the empire's blockade and allow the geneticists to leave the solar system. With a new carapace material the blockade has never encountered and speed far outpacing anything the empire could dream of, they would succeed. The ships stand enormous on the plain, as large as the city near them, their projected shield giving them time against the orbital strikes and long range missiles to load their precious cargo. 
 
 The Earth is just a blue marble shown in the viewer. Everyone is settling into their stasis pods for the long journey to the Gilese system. 
 
 `` Dad, some day I want to make them lose their ignorance.''
