Even if that's the case, that's out of our hands. It ain't like we know them, but for all intents and purposes, it seemed like a permanent amnesia scenario. In any case, only a small portion of 'em lived. That's the reality of it.

Depends. The members of Zymandis we ran into jus' happened to be taraxa, the alien parasites I mentioned. I expect there are other members of Zymandis from other worlds, not unlike us. So who knows who, exactly, we're dealin' with? In any case, they ain't a reasonable sort.
