All this time we’ve roamed galaxies in search of new life. It took a misunderstanding on Gaios where the inhabitants weren’t sure who was addressing them. We explained about mouths, but the confusion was greater than that. We never knew, until we saw in their quantum microscopes that all these millennia, as we developed, another civilization was growing under our very noses, at our fingertips. We said we come in peace, but Gaiosians could not trust us while we crushed them under our fingernails. Then tiny Terrans said hello, and we found that we had not been alone all along.
