Over the millennia his people have trained human heroes to be great leaders, to advance our species at a rate far beyond what it would have achieved on its own. Split into two opposing factions - the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix - the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries.

D'abord, parce que les téléchargements de contenu multimédia risquent moins de déclencher les alarmes éventuelles des réseaux locaux et satellitaires, mais surtout, parce que les informations sont d'un ennui mortel et que je me fiche éperdument des querelles entre humains tant que je n'ai pas 1) à y mettre un terme, 2) à nettoyer après eux.
