"The Outsiders..."

Unbidden, from somewhere deep in the back of his mind that he didn't even know existed, images filled his mind. Star charts showing the location of the Outsider's homeworld. What their ships looked like. Their attitudes towards the other races of the galaxy...It was all fragmented and hard to make sense of, and he had no idea where it was coming from, but the knowledge was undeniably something more than just an overactive imagination.

"Stoic watchers and guardians. They didn't like anything or anyone being out of place or not fitting in, did they?"
