joining the space fleet.
226
00:11:57,797 --> 00:12:00,335
That's true, but that's because
we're considered as property
227
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,279
and our masters won't let us
pursue a formal education.
228
00:12:03,304 --> 00:12:05,364
So how did you convince your master
229
00:12:05,389 --> 00:12:07,001
to let you go the Academy?
230
00:12:07,181 --> 00:12:11,669

emancipating their clones.

Wasn't really what I had
in mind for a dad either.
245

So, what really brings you
to the Academy, Ralen?
246
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,037
I have always thought
247
00:12:57,062 --> 00:12:59,746
the best way to avoid another conflict

between our two respective races
249
00:13:02,099 --> 00:13:04,332
is to understand each other better.
250
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:06,704
That's why I prevailed upon my father
251
00:13:06,729 --> 00:13:08,629
to have the Earth Ambassador to Zatar
252
00:13:08,654 --> 00:13:11,229
request that my application
to the Academy be accepted.
253
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:12,890
So, what do you think so far, mate?
254
00:13:13,419 --> 00:13:16,618
Earth preaches a set of
values across the galaxy

about tolerance and diversity,

00:13:21,487 --> 00:13:23,888
