New Sci Fi Setting Seeds

[PTTG]

Civilizing mission....

"You poor apes don't know how to live properly, but we'll help. You must learn the five noble arts- fire sculpting, agonized meditation, poetry, shell carving, and dance. Your crude native arts might make for interesting curios, but of course they're hardly civilized.

We obviously believe in valuing your native beliefs, but we are obliged to favor those who adopt Xibbluiek the Ever-Dying, the true creator of the cosmos.

Most importantly, your experiments with machine intelligence must stop immediately. Not only does Xibbluiek frown on such things, we have seen too many young civilizations burn themselves terribly with machine minds. So, please prepare for our inspection teams in the coming days to ensure such forbidden research has ended.

As a means of exchange, you may certainly keep your currency. But we will be dispensing our own credit in exchange for use of land and labor. You can exchange it among yourselves or return it to our agents for access to our technology."
