The Bachquios had not been programmed to ensure the survival of their species and thus, operated under the conventional social parameters programmed by its designers. What this meant was that; like many other starships, the safety of the women and children was considered paramount. Thirty-two percent of the crew was an acceptable loss in extreme circumstances and from that one calculation, every single male of the Bachquios was allowed to die. The Kirisyn had been preserved, yet now, they had no future.
 

Their race was doomed.
