It was the best choice available to me when I had to select one.

A...survival need.

The planet we landed on had mineral deposits that were caustic to our systems. We required alternate forms to gain shielding against it.

Hmm. So you ventured out to a new planet and the planet fought back. Now the question remains are you explorers or invaders?

It is a bit more complicated than that, but I suppose it is the main idea, yes.

Those I arrived with were invaders, I suppose. Those I allied myself with, however, were explorers.
