Our Future (2)

This time, I want to talk to you about the future, Planet Norma's future, the future of the colonists, as well as the future of Earth…

The old man's raspy voice suddenly turned deeper as he closed his eyes, seemingly in recollection as he said, "Do you still remember what I told all of you during the opening ceremony?"

"The part about the colonists? You said we would be able to obtain everything we want on Planet Norma; power, riches, territory and much more. Yes, I remember. No, it would be more accurate to say we couldn't possibly forget." Stopping, Xiao Lin smiled as he added, "That is the motivation for all of us putting our lives at risk."

"That's right, no matter what we say and what we admit to, there's no way to deny that desire is the most basic motivation for anyone. How much do you know of the history of the colonists?"
