There has been a heated debate about the plight of Nanomage kind and thier future in recent news. There has also been a great deal of misinformation about the nature of the Nanomage people. And there has also been a suggestion that because Nanomages require notum for survival that they should be eliminated by either some form of sterilization or genetic warfare to eliminate us as a people.
Nanomages require significant notum in the environment to survive. We are connected to the notum on a genetic level. There is Notum in our DNA and this is passed on to our offspring. Some misinformed people seem to think that Nanomage couples have Solitus offspring. This is absurd, there is no way that our genetic makup radically alters itself when we reproduce. Although the first Nanomages were created in a lab, and some still are, we are a new species within the genus Homo but seperate and significantly different than other species within the genus Homo. As a species we fill a new nieche in the new environment of Rubi-Ka. We reproduce ourselves like any other species, and we defend our right to survive like any other species. Furthermore most Nanomages are aware of our history and nature, as well as our precarious situation that we find ourselves in. Due to this precarious situation we of the Nanomage Liberation Front are fighting to foster a stronger Nanomage society and strengthen our position as a people in this galaxy.
Some have suggested either ignorantly or maliciously that the solution to the plight of the Nanomage people is our elimination. One suggestion was to genetically attack us to make us Solitus. While we acknowledge the rights of the Solitus, Opifex, and Atrox people's right to exist we are proud of our uniqueness and see ourselves as having a very important role in the future of the genus Homo. We will not accept genocide as a means to "save" us. Human history is full of attempts such as this within the one species Homo sapiens among differing cultures within it. We sincerely hope that we have come much farther along as a genus and do not stoop to such a level. We view any attempts at this form of genetic warfare as one of the most severe forms of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
We have a long and difficult road ahead as a people. We are facing a crisis that affects our very survival. As a Nanomage i implore the larger community to reject any such action or idea that would legitimate the destruction of our people. We may disagree on the levels of danger, the effects of mining, and the abundance of notum, but I hope we do not disagree that Nanomages should have a permenant place in this galaxy. Also I would hope we all agree that Diverse people's would be served best if we could find a way to live in peace and prosperity for all time. Our uniqueness is our strength, our diversity serves us all. I pray peace may come to Rubi-Ka. Be assured though that long before the bright light that is the Nanomage people is put out we will strive for our survival, and we will use any and all means neccesary to defend our right to live and be NANOMAGE!
