Oh wow. That's a pretty big question. If Oracle weren't already well claimed at least in my universe, I would probably go with that. I guess...Asteria. I don't know what powers I'd like to have, though.
Quite. I'm amazed we've been able to keep everything as quiet as we have, considering the numerous times several races have wanted to invade us. We've been lucky enough to keep things from actually reaching Earth so far, but I'm not sure how long that can last, and I would really like to be able to tell people about the good that's out there before they end up facing the bad and become biased against all other races.
Depending on your interpretation, we have taken things. Most of it has been long abandoned technology, by races that died or left centuries before we got there. But we still did take things, and even if I usually agree on how it's been used, I won't argue that several races would be within their rights to fear us for that. I really do wish the space program weren't so deeply entrenched in the military for that reason, but it can't be helped at this point I guess.
