” Some say humans brought life to Europe. In my view, we have only unleashed the potential there. Europe is amazing, but incomplete. We're trying to build something better than what we left behind. It will take time. That's why I sent you to scouts. If anyone can choose what tomorrow will be like, it's you. Whoever you are, whoever you choose to become, this world is yours, Zee. This future is yours. »
