Reply #102: Then again, any sentient race might be of considerable interest to such a culture

[Mythsaje]

particularly when you consider the kind of creatures likely to survive against a generally hostile environment and dangerous predators to become the top species on their own planet. Violent, aggressive, and often too damn clever for their own good.

"We'd best keep an eye on them. They could be trouble."

Or, conversely,

"Despite how violent they are now, they show potential to rise above their troubled evolution. It will be interesting to see which way they go. Will they destroy themselves, or will they find a way to go beyond their current limitations?"

Just sayin'...
