Dreams of Something More had been trained as a diplomat since she had been in early schooling. She had a natural aptitude for understanding Terrans, understanding their political philosophies, and most of all, understanding their motto of: To Secure Peace One Must Prepare for War.

After all, she was sitting in an eVR construct of a glade in the Olympic National Rain Forest, wearing a denim jacket with fleece lining on her thorax, an abdomen covering done with the Warrior People of the Plains designs, and a jaunty hat.

While she examined Vuknaraan history, culture, and society. She ignored anything longer than a thousand years ago, preferring to study their recent culture.

It was largely placid. The birth rate was roughly 1.7, the doubling time for their species was in the negatives and had been slowly diminishing. Dreams checked older news source archives, looking for certain keywords that explorers had found in the news archives of extinct races.

Happiness Gene Discovered. Yup, just over a century of local years ago.

Criminal Gene Found! Yup, sixty years ago.

Is Intelligence a Factor in Depression? Yup, fifty years ago.

One by one Dreams was able to check off each of the points that every extinct race had hit. Genetic alteration to maintain happiness
