HorÅ, do you know a great deal about human history? I wondered that question once... so I asked a crew member. He told me to read a book! I was perplexed by such a strange answer. But I did.

[ She hesitates again and lowers her voice. ] Humans are not united at all. To just say 'humans', as though they're as driven and similar as a group of tigers, is... wrong. A group of tigers would never... commit the same sort of atrocities as a group of humans, I think.
