In-Game Text "Nature herself gives a silent judgment in favor of the immortality of the soul, inasmuch as all are anxious, and that to a great degree, about the things which concern futurity: 'One plants what future ages shall enjoy.' as Statius saith in his Synephebi. What is his object in doing so, except that he is interested in posterity? Shall the industrious husbandman, then, plant trees the fruit of which he shall never see?" – Marcus Tullius Cicero, Tusculanarum Disputationum The most abundant and plentiful of common and oft-employed resources can quickly, as a colony grows, become the scarcest.
