For a long time, Ves gained awareness that human civilization actually encompassed two societies.
By far, the majority of humans living in this age ignorantly believed that their civilization was based on conventional technology.
That did not mean that humanity eschewed alien or unusual tech, but by and large people always desired to master and advance their own advancements.
This was human civilization in the bright. Most humans believed the most powerful expressions of their civilizations came in the form of starships, mechs, space stations, massive cities and other monuments of technological advancements.
Few people were aware that another society existed in the shadows. Hidden beneath the surface, a few humans possessed awareness that human potential did not solely lie in developing better machines.
Instead, they sought to exploit and strengthen the extraordinary potential within themselves.
