Told that we are the only intelligent species in the galaxy was false. Both for those species upon the earth, but even nearby. For there are different sorts of thought, different minds, different perceptions that make us unaware of the depths of thought found in any other species who chooses to avoid our gaze. So we were amazed, when we discovered cities built by primitives upon the moon of Neptune, that seemed to be organized, developed upon rational designs, that only accompany species with minds. How great of fools we were. How great of fools we are.
