If I must state one thing, and state it concisely, I shall say this: interesting. Considering I was just moments ago on a planet that would, at random moments, burst into sectional flame, I feel this is rather apropos. Maybe I’m dead. I doubt it, I expect death is less substantial than this – filled with less coruscations.


I almost prefer the fire and the quaking. At least there was some means of constant entertainment; this seems like I’ve simply been put in a dark room with a small crowd of paparazzi. How utterly annoying.


I’ve no time for this. There are better uses for my time; this is little more than a waste of it. Perhaps if this… place offered some visible means of escape, it would be worth the effort to explore, but at the moment, no. To whoever may be hearing me – provided anyone can in this place or that there is even anyone else here – I’ll be taking my leave. I’ve better things to do than stumble about in the dark.

Before your kind, at least.

That's weird. I just figured humans were the only ones who looked like this. It seems like pretty low odds other planets would. Maybe we're descended from you!

Its a rather functional layout for anatomy - one head, two arms, two legs - so wouldn't you think if the universe got it right once, it would repeat it?

[holds her arms out in front of her] That makes sense. It does work pretty well.

Now, consider this. If you were a universe - and presume they are capable of sentient, cognitive thought - and you had just created a rather functional race purely by accident. It only causes problems in a few areas, but otherwise, as stated, functional. You can remember exactly what you did to create it. Would you not, theoretically, base other species of the universe upon that same design - varying it where you will - simply out of functionality?

Hmm. I guess that would make sense. If I could make people and I made a pretty good race, I'd make them dozens of times. I'd probably still experiment with other forms of life, too, though.

And thus is why there are species that mostly follow this layout, along with few that do not even resemble it in the slightest.

Huh, that makes a lot of sense. You must study this sort of thing.

I'm a scientist of sorts.
