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.

It always depends on what kind of advancements. Some end up doing more harm than good, if you ask me.

[howillusive]

You have anything in particular in mind? I've found little that has not benefited us in the end.

[harriedosborn]

Stuff along the lines of genetic enhancement.

[howillusive]

Tricky business. There's a point when technological advancements may supersede the genetic ones.

[harriedosborn]

They also overlap a lot of the time.

[howillusive]

Yes, they do. Not always, but there's merit in looking into what they can do for us if we can control it.

[harriedosborn]

Maybe. Maybe not. I don't think there's anything wrong with advancing at our own pace.

[howillusive]

And while the rest of the galaxy passes us by and leaves us in the dust? We're more than capable of handling the change.

[harriedosborn]

I don't know about where you're from, mister, but where I'm from we're not caught up in some crazy intergalactic competition.

[howillusive]

No? Are you from Earth?

[harriedosborn]

Yeah, I am.

[howillusive]

Hm.

Odd.

[harriedosborn]

What's so odd?

[howillusive]

Most Earthlings I know are well aware of the Reaper threat, where I come from. I had assumed it would be the same in most worlds.

[harriedosborn]

No. Not even a little bit.
