Watching a Deep Space 9 episode, something caught my attention. Quoting from: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Vorta#History_and_Politics
The Vorta believe, perhaps apocryphally, that they previously existed as small, timid, ape-like creatures living in hollowed-out trees to avoid the many predators on their homeworld. A group of Vorta hid a Changeling from an angry mob, and in return the Changeling promised that one day they would be transformed and placed at the head of a vast interstellar empire. The Founders fulfilled this promise by genetically changing the Vorta into humanoids and employing them at the highest level of the Dominion. (DS9: "Treachery, Faith and the Great River") Is this an Uplift rip-off? Alberto Monteiro i think it is, alberto. in fact DS9 is also a ripoff of Babylon 5 (outpost at the edge of the galaxy) jon ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.
