Summary:
Two doomed alien species, the Aquans and Terans, are at the brink of extinction. Their only solace is in placing blame on each other for their own evolutionary shortcomings. Blame quickly turns to hatred which escalates to a devastating war, decimating the two great cultures. Now all but dead, their only chance is to find peace and hope where only resentment has ever existed, in each other.
