Qven was created to be a Presger translator. The pride of their Clade, they always had a clear path before them: learn human ways, and eventually, make a match and serve as an intermediary between the dangerous alien Presger and the human worlds. The realization that they might want something else isn't "optimal behaviour". I's the type of behaviour that results in elimination. But Qven rebels. As a Conclave of the various species approaches - and the long-standing treaty between the humans and the Presger is on the line - the decisions made will have ripple effects across the stars.
