After hearing the arguments proposed around her, Zara felt like she had to say more. "I still don't think it works. Like I said earlier, it's simply a ground basis or foundation to say that alien civilizations do exist in the universe so we are not alone in this world." Looking around to see if anyone disagreed with that, Zara continued, "And since professor had said earlier that what's important in this equation aren't the factors or the numbers. It's important because it exists. This merely tells us that, again, we are not alone."

She grinned, "Any objections?" She wanted to argue. Okay, fine. Discuss sounds better. But really, a good argument would do her good. A debate perhaps. But it seems that everyone seemed to agree that the Drake equation doesn't give anything but a load of waffle.
