"However, what I must tell you next is very cruel. No matter how hard we try to run this country well, we have begun to feel powerless. Pollution and resource scarcity have become unavoidable issues. Frankly, we've reached our limit, and a crisis is inevitable. To resolve this crisis, members of the Federation Council have discussed and debated many times. Eventually, this evolved into two factions, one believing that we should do everything possible to transform our homeland and restore it to what it once was. The other side believes that Earth Star is beyond saving and that we need to march into space to establish new habitats on other planets. Regardless of their views, the fundamental purpose of both is for the proliferation of our race and our future."
