The Inhabitants of Genesis II

Genesis II, a richly biodiverse world, is home to at least five species that have evolved to varying stages of development. Two such groups, an ocean-dwelling, cephalopod group and a land-dwelling, avian-reptoid group, are of special interest to observing scientists. Factions of the octopoids have been making incursions onto land, and have engaged in deadly skirmishes with some of the avian-reptoids. Many observers believe this will lead to war. Ethicists, scientists, and academics are embroiled in a debate on whether or not to stop this war before it results in the annihilation of one or more of the groups involved.
