Reptiliandude: The Assembly allows “Limited Harvesting” of the human element so long as it falls into established legal criteria.

Your species genetics is like the O+ of humanoids.

You were modified as product to be versatile and accommodating to research into diseases afflicting humanoid species more advanced than your own.

Put bluntly, you are still considered lab rats.

You just aren’t harvested anymore en masse for a life extension industry which operated for thousands of years outside the Assembly’s interposition.

Look, you asked for the truth and I gave it to you…

And you fellows were actually friendly to me, till you took what I said out of context and now the effects of all that negative propaganda is bubbling to the surface. Sorry I had to be so blunt about it, but it was the only way to get you to emotionally comprehend humanity’s situation.

Now do you understand why you’ve been led to believe that you are alone in the universe?

Can you imagine the panic worldwide if people had irrefutable proof of this?

And of course there is hesitation on our parts to assist, because Big Brother will simply convince you to turn on us like you just did with me a few moments ago.

Don’t think that way, it’s not productive. Hope is one of the greatest strengths anyone can draw upon.

But hope must be combined with positive action.

Realizing that your species has essentially been sabotaged to self-destruct is the beginning of understanding.

It took my species over ten times as long to evolve and develop as yours.

In fact, it takes most known species longer than it takes primates like you. The fact that your evolution was accelerated makes it even more worrisome.

Your cognitive functions are ahead of your emotional and psychological development.

You never had a normal childhood in the evolutionary sense of the word, because you were constantly being traumatized and manipulated.

These are some of the reasons why when you look up at the stars you hear only silence.

You’re the new kid in the classroom that everyone has heard about–a species that came from a broken home, and lives in the planetary version of the projects.

Yet, one that with the right hidden guidance could raise the grade curve and force everyone else to have to work harder.

You have to be able to take credit for your own discoveries. You’re like little brothers playing a game of pool with the eldest, who need to let you win once and a while without you knowing it, so you can have confidence and do great things.

In order to do that, you need your freedom.
