"Here's why you can't exterminate us, aruetii. We're not huddled in one placeâwe span the galaxy. We need no lords or leadersâso you can't destroy our command. We can live without technologyâso we can fight with our bare hands. We have no species or bloodlineâso we can rebuild our ranks with others who want to join us. We're more than just a people or an army, aruetii. We're a culture. We're an idea. And you can't kill ideasâbut we certainly can kill you."
