Have you ever accidentally wiped out a primitive planetary civilization? It’s such an easy mistake, I’m sure most of us have. Just one stray micro black hole, or a minor antiproton leak as you are accelerating by—and wups! You may not realize it, but these helpless creatures are fully capable of feeling pain, and even of realizing the misfortune that has befallen them from causes they cannot comprehend. So have a heart! Tune up your warp drive today and you will not only prevent needless suffering of lower life forms, but reduce your fuel costs!
