 =====Spirituality and Philosophy=====
 <WRAP box>
-“A dictator cut down by laser fire.\\
+“It does not matter if the hand wavers. Even in the sweatiest palm, a dagger lodged into a dictator's back is the moral imperative of all life.”</WRAP>
-A disease stopped before it could claim thousands.\\
+Those raised or educated in a Daktari fashion often are taught that spirituality and folklore are methods to explain morality. Religion is not shunned, and is instead often subject to what amounts to an endless inquiry. It is considered to be of one of the higher virtues to be allowed to study sensitive cultural matters faithfully, and are judged harshly on the part of the reporter. While many Daktari-heavy areas do not have formalized religions as a norm, an open mind is necessary to interpret the functions of the universe. It is not uncommon for a Daktari researcher to adopt foreign folklore in their pursuit of understanding.
-Long years devoted to understanding an alien tongue.\\

-Each of these offers a lesson. And if we study them closely, we may find salvation.”
+While matters of ESP and the arcane are poorly-understood matters to many Daktari institutes, there exist furtive groups made to protect these individuals, and study them from afar.

+Argumentation, study, and direct action are considered virtuous in common Daktari philosophy. Ethics are to be understood as more than theories at certain points, especially when speaking on the treatment of entire populations. An expectation of mandated reporting, or at the very least direct intervention, is seen as moral imperatives. Having learned lessons from the Ascendancy, many Daktari taught their descendants that being a passive participant is supporting injustice.

 =====Interesting Facts=====
 <tabbox Fact 1>
-Cras eget lorem commodo neque vestibulum dignissim sit amet vitae ex.
+A Daktari's head tentacles can fall off, much like the tail of a lizard, and likewise regrow.
 <tabbox Fact 2>
-Suspendisse lacinia lacus at est vestibulum, eget tempus elit posuere.
+Prior to Humanity's induction into the Emergency Coalition, the Daktari were on average the smallest species.
 <tabbox Fact 3>
-Donec et lacus auctor augue varius interdum id vel orci.
+Madaktari are often oblivious to romantic or sexual gestures from other species. Culturally, their courting rituals tend to involve the movement of mandibles, and the creation of specific oft-inaudible sounds.
 <tabbox Fact 4>
-In sed ipsum vehicula, iaculis risus vel, blandit tellus.
+While the Daktari typically reproduce artificially, they engage in romance and sexual activity recreationally. Many papers have been published to Daktari institutes on these matters, making them well-informed on the exact matters of courtship, even though they may be oblivious to attempts to start.
