You continue to disappoint me, mundane. Your high-minded ideas of progress and change were what led to our separation, and simply because you're fond gives you no excuse to simply pull me out for your own amusement.

I'm a busy man, and I have no time for your whims. If you want to do something, then take initiative, rather than simply occupying my time with nonsense. If you had a plan, then perhaps we could speak on this further. Until then, I have more pressing matters to attend to.

Ridiculous? I don't know if I think the pot can call the kettle black, do you? He is programmed, how can he decide?

It's got to be an android thing. You know, all "beep-boop-human-emotion-does-not-compute." I quit to get away from all his lousy judging. Whatever, though. I bet you never had trouble with your partners in Mega-Space-CEO-land.

Every leader has the unfortunate experience of dealing with trouble from time to time. Unfortunately, I can't control the denizens of the galaxy's tendency to judge. Especially when humanity is involved.

Sure you can. Make it illegal or something.

If I had my way, that would have happened. Unfortunately, humanity does not yet have its rightful place in the galaxy.

What do you mean? There's a whole planet. And some other planets, probably.

Place politically. It's a big galaxy where I'm from, and humanity is only in the infant stage, compared to the rest of the races.

Whoa. Like Planet of the Apes.

More like early Star Trek, if we're going to be using early Earth media.

Do I look like a nerd to you? I haven't seen Star Trek.

Neither have I, but the comparison would be apt, from what I've heard.

So instead of humans you got a bunch of human-looking guys with pointy ears?

Not exactly, but they're threatened by the possibility of humanity overtaking their place of power.

So humans are slaves or something?

More like the small fish in a large pond filled with predators. That doesn't mean we can't grow.

Maybe you should all just move to Earth.

I'm afraid that Earth may be an unfortunate casualty, but we should hardly be expected to remain on Earth irregardless. Humanity keeps expanding, and a galaxy at our fingertips is a temptation we can't refuse.

If you say so, man, but I've been around the galaxy a bit and it doesn't get much better. Unless you really, really like giant aliens.

I don't. [ A pause. ] Resources, however, are something we must think of, and that's only found by expanding.

Why don't you just buy them?

Cost, mostly. Humanity is under assault where I come from, and we need to be ready, and expanding our colonies is it.

Oh, yeah, I get that. We're under assault on Earth too. That's what I'm for; special division for monster and alien crime.

I suppose some things remain constant. At least mine isn't the only world with an alien problem.

Aliens are always causing problems. It's practically all they do.

I would agree. You wouldn't believe how many people think that they're going to show us the way, but they'll do anything but.
