Brothers, hear my thought, I, Jii, son of Laa.
In this orbit of the green season, I submit to you a question that might
be useful for the United People.
According to the law of Concerted Research, I, Jii, son of Laa, will
overview the research on this question.
According to the law of Conservation, I, Jii, son of Laa, as well as my
descendents, will become the Guardians of the knowledge extracted from
this research.
( Presence. Presence. Murmurs... )
We have reached the required attention proportion from the population.
Here is the question:
( Silence )
Remember:
That the harmonious evolution of the United People keeps on for more than
two hundred seasons.
That, during this short period of time, our fulfillment is quite
satisfactory: philosophy, medicine, spirit analysis, journeys, mechanization...
That the gift of the Common Thought plays a significant role in our
evolution: Concerted Research, full democracy, immediate share of all
discoveries...
That this gift was artificially offered to us by an unknown entity through
a genetic operation outside our capacities (this knowledge is preserved by
An, son of Tuu, let the United People be thankful).
That no one keeps the events prior to the decision of adopting the law of
Concerted Research because the law of Conservation found its origin in it.
With regard to these facts, here is my question:
"What are the origins of the United People?"
I propose as sub-question:
"Who gave us the Common Thought?"
The expression of the question is over. Brothers, I'm ready to collect your votes.
( Reject. Agreement. Murmurs... Agreement. )
Votes are done. The number in favor is 11,325, that makes 78% of
attentive people and 53% of the global population. Therefore, we consider
the question as noteworthy and I, Jii, son of Laa, am now in charge of it.
The question will be known by the United People as " Origins-Jii ".
I wait for the suggestions from my qualified Brothers.
( Murmurs... Murmurs... )
Brothers, hear my thought, I, Jii, son of Laa, about the question "
Origins-Jii ". Akan, son of Meio, submits as sub-question the following
thesis:
Remember:
That the buried remnants of our civilization are not older than five hundred seasons.
That the evolution of a minor race is proven to last at least five millions
seasons (this knowledge is preserved by Ud, son of No, let the United People
be thankful).
With regard to these facts, here is the thesis:
"Does the United People come from Ma, the planet on which we live ?"
The expression of the thesis is over. Brothers, I'm ready to collect your votes.
( Accord. Accord. Murmurs... )
Votes are done. The number in favor is 753, that makes 83% of the qualified
Brothers and 12% of the global population. Therefore, we consider the corollary
as noteworthy.
As long-term action plan, I propose the corollary:
The colonization of our entire planet, Ma and the development of space journeys.
( Murmurs... )

( Murmurs... )
Atoms of the colony of Ma, be my thought, I, Uty, son of Kua, son of Reem.
During this orbit of the season of Waters, I submit to you a theory as response
to the question known by the United People under the name " Origins-Jii ".
If this theory is accepted, I, Uty, son of Kua, son of Reem:
According to the law of Conservation, I will be part of the Conservator Spirit of Ma.
According to the law of the Unification of the Race, I will announce this
additional knowledge to the Conservator Spirits of the 327 colonies established
on other planets.
According to the law of Descent, I assure you that my children will carry on my
task and will keep my knowledge at the disposal of the United People.
( Presence. Presence. Murmurs... )
The attention proportion required among the Atoms being reached, I submit you
herewith my thesis:
( Silence... )
Remember:
That the question asked by Jii, son of Laa (let the United People be thankful)
during the orbit of the 203rd season is:
"What are the origins of the United People ?"
That the United People has developed since then a mathematical model of spatial
journeys based on the control of the Universe's drift.
That this model has been applied in our vessels since the orbit of the 227th
season. It created numerous colonies on planets orbiting around other stars.
That the United People was created during the orbit of the last season on a planet
named by us Dan.
That the conditions are 30% less favorable on this planet as on Ma (this knowledge
is preserved by the Conservator Spirit of the planet Dan).
That our colons have encountered on Dan a dominant race who has not reached
conscience yet.
That the genetic structure of this race is proven to be at 99.7% compatible with
ours, except for the gift of the Common Thought (this knowledge is preserved by
the Conservator Spirit of the planet Dan). Such a similarity had never been observed.
That the appearance of the mutation which gave us Common Thought still remains
today unexplained although now we can reproduce this mutation experimentally.
With regard to these, the theory is:
"A superior entity (non defined) deported a branch of the primitive race of
Dan to our mother planet to favor its development; then, altered it genetically
to obtain a more advanced race"
The expression of the theory is over. Atoms of Ma, I'm ready to collect your votes.
( Reject. Agreement. Murmurs... Agreement. )
Votes are done. The number is favor is 1,513,555, that makes 68% of the
qualified Atoms and 9% of the global population of Ma. Therefore, the theory
is accepted unless an incompatible theory appears or if the present vote needs
to be reconsidered.
This theory will be given to the Conservator Spirits of our other colonies. I
demand a global vote of all the Atoms of the United People to take into account
the possible existence of a superior entity and to modify consequently the Goals
of our race.
As far as I'm concerned, I favor, as long-term action plan, to discover this
unknown Creator:
The extensive colonization of the biggest possible part of the Universe and the
study of the reality of the Universe.
( Murmurs... )
And the United People pursued its expansion throughout the Universe, spreading
strings of outposts in the heart of more and more remote galaxies. He was very
proud of His children. Perfect success. Soon, now, they could join him and be
part of Him.

Father?
Father, what are you afraid of ?
Don't you know already, son ?
Father, you know that I only see you with your permission. But I feel suspicion
in your thoughts. Don't you trust me ?
I believe that you do not reveal all the things you are capable of.
The vote of yesterday proves that our Brothers think like I do. In the whole
history of the United People, you are the first one who wants (and who is able)
to hide your thoughts to your Brothers. I can feel in you a spirit much stronger
than mine and that scares me. Conclusion is logical: your body is the one of my
son but your spirit belongs to that mysterious Creator whom we have been looking
for so long.
Why having avoided contact during all these seasons ? Why now ? And why my son ?
Be patient, father. Trust me. Time hasn't come yet. Trust me when I tell you
that the Golden Age of the United People is near.
Leave me alone. Your thought frightens me.
The only thing you are afraid of is to be incompetent in front of the task. Be
reassured, father, neither you nor your Brothers have come down in my eyes.
Oh! Shut up !...
( Murmurs... )
And on that day, Lee, son of Dorn, finally opened his spirit to his Brothers.
Revelation spread out like wildfire from one end to the other of the Universe.
He was very proud of them. He invited them to merge into Him to enrich Him with
their breath of life. They would go with Him as long as His Universe, His creation
would last.
Dazzled by the honor made to them, the Brothers accepted. Each body softly slipped
onto the ground as the spirit that animated it was vanishing into infinity.
Aware that their masters were no longer there, machines made the necessary decisions.
Each vessel flew back to its home base and waited. Each city kept on living, slowly,
waiting for those who had conceived them, to come back. Each corpse was carefully
burnt as was the custom of the Brothers.
Nothing broke down before at least one thousand seasons: the United People had,
indeed, reached the heights of fame.

Dorn wandered aimlessly in the silent lanes of the City. He was still afraid.
Suddenly, he saw him. His son was looking at him, immobile, peaceful, right in
front of him. Dorn plunged his senses in Lee's. His body had remained petrified
but his soul was fleeing endlessly.
Then His thought came to him like a huge choir echoed endlessly.
"Come to me, son"
Dorn came one step forward. He looked in peace. Then, his body softly slipped onto
the ground. Machines came closer and took him gently.
The Golden Age of the United People had begun.
