Part III
Impetus
Humans are very intelligent and highly motivated to invent. In time, humans learn how to use and abuse each other, and it is a long journey for humanity to recognize the awareness in each other and acknowledge shared consciousness.
Humans build an impressive technological base, and in time come to understand the possibility of their own destruction by cataclysmic natural events as well as by their own hands. Humanity must unite and expand beyond Earth to ensure survival.
