[Rannoch] The New Daestrom Academy opens its Doors.
Sontax Kuri'ik, Apien Press Portal. RANNOCH. Today marks a joyous and historical event for the quarian people as the first university on the planet opens after it's reclamation. Representatives of the Quarian Conclave as well as the Geth Collective were present at the grand opening of the newly-constructed campus, located just outside of the main settlement. In an emotional speech, Daestrom Project Administrator San'Daala vas Kontei addressed the gathered crowd. "This is the first product of true good-willed cooperation between the Geth and the Quarians. For centuries our people were deprived of access to the wisdom of their ancestors and their traditions. A millennia worth of knowledge survived in mere databanks, in the form of nothing more than cold digits. Our arts and traditions struggled to stay alive as we took care for the most basic of our needs. But now we can revive our cultural treasures. In the halls of this university, the legacy of our ancestors will finally be inherited by the new generation. Their knowledge brought back to life and passed down once more. The words of long lost languages shall be heard again in these halls and the arts and sciences will flourish!" A representative of the Collective, who asked to be identified as 'Shann' has also made a few statements "During the three centuries that spanned between the Morning War and The pressed day, both Creators and Geth have accumulated a large amount of new knowledge across proximately 61 distinct fields. To facilitate the compiled sum of all Creator/Geth information and ensure its proper storage and distribution, an academic educational environment was deemed necessary. Both practical and sentimental reasons were considered before this initiative" The Daestrom Acadamy was named after the Migrant Fleet ship, QMF Daestrom, a science ship whose archives kept an encyclopedic compendium of Rannoch's civilization alive to this very day and whose science labs helped in realising the leaps of advancement that quarian technology made over the past centuries. Though the campus is meant to accommodate only about a thousand students, many more applications have been received. The Conclave has reassured the public that expansion works are already underway and all applicants can soon be accepted. Presslink News Aggregator: Collecting headlines from across the galaxy.

Yes, one would assume that would be a given, with or without isolation.The geth. What exactly do you mean by those like you? (Sorry, if my question sounds stupid or impolite I'm just not entirely sure what you mean by this.) However, what makes you think anything will simply be forgotten within a couple of years? If not intentionally chosen to be erased from records no event or person can simply be forgotten, and even then there's the people who actually remember and pass it on.
I think he's made it rather clear that he holds the geth in contempt, and clearer that his kind would fade away in a few generations as opposed to a few years. Which is entirely true, if somewhat optimistic. A modicum of self-awareness, essentially. Bitter fatalism and stubborn rhetoric at its' finest. |

The geth. The first statement ... Defiance wrote:And then you'll be left with beings that think a delusional belief in the Reapers, the enemies of all life, is a great strength and sign of power.
...reads like the inevitable rewriting of history by the Geth in their favor and nobody being able to counter it since it will be legend and myth by then. (This is what I understood at least).This would only affect the quarian culture if they would remain isolated and to themselves completely since even in a millennium there will be krogan and asari to tell the events of the Reaper Wars first hand. I predict the quarian-geth society become an integrated part of the galactic community over the next centuries. The geth are a young species and even younger individuals, they will, as Preeya'Lem also pointed out, most likely change significantly themselves during that time frame, being exposed to experiences and influences they cannot even calculate now. Such history manipulation will neither be possible on a grander scale nor be even necessary, as peaceful co-development will in the long run prove much more preferable. |

If I knew about all backgrounds of everything I would not have to ask. Since I never have been to Rannoch yet of course I lack knowledge, and I only can rely on extranet information and logical assumption.

Unfortunately.Pariah wrote:The true quarians died three centuries ago when the geth butchered them. What you see now is only a ghost What makes you think so? Even though decimated in numbers, our people still have history, knowledge and identity. And even if there's been huge changes within the last centuries as well as right now, Quarians still will remain Quarians.There's changing in all societies around us, but nobody would speak of identity-loss when it comes to Drell, Geth, Humans or whatever, so why does everyone have to overreact when it's about Quarian matters? It's not like we'd be the most important species in history. stardust wrote:...reads like the inevitable rewriting of history by the Geth in their favor and nobody being able to counter it since it will be legend and myth by then.

I am quite afraid you're finding this difficult to understand. Defiance is not speaking on his opinion on the quarian race as a whole - although I'm quite sure if you got him going he'd gladly mourn the death of our species. He is speaking on behalf of his kind - those who insist peace with the geth was and is never an option, eager to see the history books write them, vindicate them as noble martyrs far after they die.There's nothing optimistic in assuming the own people will be gone in the future.
He posits that it would take a few generations for his kind and his rhetoric to die. To be generous, this would be around 240 or 250 years. The honest truth is that it will be lucky to survive a single generation. |

So he actually wants his point proven "right" over all quarians being well? Interesting new thing to see Quarians acting against Quarians now... Guess some people just need enemies to be content...He posits that it would take a few generations for his kind and his rhetoric to die. To be generous, this would be around 240 or 250 years. The honest truth is that it will be lucky to survive a single generation. But "his kind and his rhetoric" is just a political fraction and no sacred legacy.
