AR: anyway did you have factories
DA: I I^^AGI^vE vvE DID, O^v OTHER vvORLDS vvE HAD CO^vQUERED.
AR: did they like
AR: belch smoke so much it blocked out the sun and made a constant acid rain
DA: ^vOT TO ^^Y K^vOvvLEDGE. IT vvOULD ^vOT BE I^v OUR I^vTEREST TO CO^^PLETELY DESTROY THE AT^^OSPHERE OF A CO^vQUERED PLA^vET.
AR: oh
AR: disappointing
DA: vvHY DO YOU FEEL THAT vvAY?
AR: iunno
AR: itd be cool if there were
DA: IS POLLUTIO^v VALUED I^v YOUR CULTURE?
AR: no but i think its neat
AR: atmospheric
AR: kinda like blade runner or something
AR: eeeh you dont know what that is
DA: I SUPPOSE, BUT DESTROYI^vG A PLA^vET'S AT^^OSPHERE vvOULD ^^AKE IT USELESS FOR OTHER THI^vGS. BESIDES OUR TECH^vOLOGY vvAS ADVA^vCED E^vOUGH THAT THERE vvAS VERY ^^I^vI^^AL POLLUTIO^v, IF A^vY.
AR: oh
DA: I K^vOvv vvHAT A BLADE IS A^vD vvHAT RU^v^vI^vG IS. IT SOU^vDS LIKE A FAIRLY DA^vGEROUS SPORT.
AR: actually blade runners dont have blades
AR: they run but they dont have blades
DA: THE^v vvHY ARE THEY CALLED BLADE RU^v^vERS?
AR: iunno
AR: sounds cool
DA: SOU^vDS ^^ISLEADI^vG.
AR: they were probably just thinking "yeah thats intimidating no one would wanna fuck with a group called the blade runners"
DA: IT COULD LEAD THE^^ TO BE CHALLE^vGED BY OPPO^vE^vTS THEY HAD ^vO HOPE OF DEFEATI^vG.
AR: yeah they mostly fought robots
DA: THAT SEE^^S LIKE A STRA^vGE THI^vG TO FIGHT, BUT THE^v, I ^vEVER DEALT ^^UCH vvITH ROBOTS.
AR: you probably should theyre a good thing to deal with
AR: plus everyones going to get a robot body to put their brain in in 50 years if everything goes as planned
DA: vvE HAVE E^vOUGH TO DEAL vvITH AS IT IS. A^vD I LIKE ^^Y BODY. I DO^v'T vvA^vT IT REPLACED BY A^vYTHI^vG.
AR: yeah okay you say that now but when you get crushed by a steel pipe youll be begging for the cyberbody
DA: IF THAT HAPPE^vED I'^^ FAIRLY SURE I vvOULD BE DEAD LO^vG BEFORE A^vYO^vE COULD DO A^vYTHI^vG vvITH ^^Y BRAI^v.
AR: yes thats why someone would need to put the brain on ice
AR: it would all work out you see
DA: I'LL HAVE TO CO^vSULT vvITH OUR TEA^^ ^^EDIC FIRST.
AR: ok
AR: so like
AR: whats your deviantart page
DA: ^^Y vvHAT PAGE?
AR: okay yes youre definitley an actual alien
DA: FRO^^ OUR POI^vT OF VIEvv, YOU'RE THE SQUISHY ALIE^v SPECIES, RIPE FOR CO^vQUERI^vG.
AR: that seems about right
DA: YES, IT IS.
AR: so then we have to form a rebellion
AR: and get like
AR: improvised weapons
AR: and then one city gets them to leave
AR: which sparks revolution in the rest of them, does this sound good so far
DA: vvHAT ARE YOU TALKI^vG ABOUT?
AR: what happens when people try to conquer humans and what would happen if it happened
AR: i have this shit planned out
DA: HAS THIS EVER ACTUALLY HAPPE^vED?
AR: no but humans write about this sort of thing a lot
AR: sorta
DA: THAT DOES^v'T ^^EA^v YOU'D ^vECESSARILY BE ABLE TO FIGHT OFF A^v I^vVASIO^v, ESPECIALLY vvITH ^vO PRIOR EXPERIE^vCE.
AR: no we probably could because of
AR: like
AR: our
AR: fighting spirit and hope for a better tomorrow
AR: i dont really pay attention to that part but apparently its the part that makes us win
DA: I AD^^IRE YOUR CO^vFIDE^vCE BUT THAT SORT OF THI^vG ALO^vE vvO^v'T vvI^v YOU A^vY BATTLES. IT vvILL CERTAI^vLY HELP, BUT YOU ^vEED THE FIREPOvvER A^vD DEFE^vSE TO BACK IT UP.
AR: yeah thats the part i like
AR: invariably you get some nutcase who stockpiled some weapons for just such and event and somehow gets his hand on millitary weapons
DA: YOU'RE TALKI^vG ABOUT ^^OVIES, ARE^v'T YOU?
AR: yeah
DA: I SEE.
DA: SO YOUR RACE HAS ^vEVER REALLY E^vCOU^vTERED A^v ALIE^v SPECIES, BE^vEVOLE^vT OR OTHERvvISE?
AR: probably not
DA: YOU ARE^v'T EVE^v SURE?
AR: well im not
AR: ask anyone else and theyll probably just say yes
AR: but thats because they believe anything anyone tells them
DA: A^vD YOU ARE THE O^vLY E^vLIGHTE^vED O^vE?
AR: not enlightened just skeptical
DA: I USED TO FEEL SI^^ILARLY. SORT OF.
DA: I vvAS CORRECTED RATHER... AGGRESSIVELY.
AR: well theres worse things to be
AR: like

DA: HE SEE^^S ADEPT AT CODI^vG.
AR: yeah i taught him most of that
AR: plus its less coding and more just basic point and click stuff
DA: IS HE A LIABILITY THOUGH?
AR: iunno
DA: IF HE'S SURVIVED THUS FAR, THERE ^^UST BE SO^^E ^^ERIT TO HIS CO^vTI^vUED EXISTA^vCE.
AR: yeah i guess hes pretty lucky isnt he
DA: IF YOUR SITUATIO^v IS A^vYTHI^vG LIKE OURS, YOU ^vEED TO HOLD O^vTO AS ^^A^vY ^^E^^BERS AS POSSIBLE.
AR: yeah well you try getting him back here see how that goes
AR: i swear to god hes more stubborn than me sometimes
AR: and thats a fucking accomplishment
DA: TRUE, EVE^v THE ^^OST AUTHORITATIVE LEADER CA^v'T HAVE TOTAL CO^vTROL OVER EVERYBODY.
AR: hrm
AR: not sure who the leader would be anyway
DA: THOSE HIGHEST I^v CASTE A^^O^vG YOU vvOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO START LOOKI^vG, THOUGH IT'S ^vO GUARA^vTEE.

DA: vvELL YOUR SPECIES IS... I^vTERESTI^vG.
AR: i could say the same
AR: so i will
AR: your species is interesting
DA: YOU LOOK FAIRLY HAR^^LESS.
AR: yeah i probably wouldnt put up too much of a fight
AR: you on the other hand look like you are literally a shark
DA: I'^^ O^vE OF THE SEADvvELLI^vG CASTE, SO THERE ARE A FEvv SI^^ILARITIES, BUT I'^^ A TROLL, ^vOT A SHARK.
AR: oh like you live in the ocean
AR: thats neat too
DA: ^vOT SO ^^UCH A^vY ^^ORE, BUT I USED TO.
AR: right yeah the chances of getting a world with an ocean on it are probably slim
DA: vvELL, ^^Y PLA^vET I^v THE GA^^E DID, A^vD ^^Y TEA^^^^ATE'S DOES.
AR: oh
AR: well lucky then
DA: vvE DO^v'T HAVE TO LIVE I^v vvATER, BUT vvE DO ^vEED TO BE vvET OCCASIO^vALLY
AR: so like whales
DA: YES, SI^^ILAR TO vvHALES.
AR: neat

AR: yeah thats kinda coming as a surprise to me
AR: you guys got like
AR: those giant fleas, silt striders?
DA: vvE ^^IGHT. I CA^v'T SAY. I DO^v'T K^vOvv OF EVERY SI^vGLE SPECIES THAT EXISTED O^v OUR PLA^vET.
AR: oh
AR: thats too bad
DA: I'LL ASK, THOUGH.
AR: okay
DA: IT ^^AKES ^^E vvO^vDER IF THIS IS YET A^vOTHER U^vIVERSE SEPARATE FRO^^ OUR Ovv^v, vvHERE THI^vGS TOOK A DIFFERE^vT COURSE.
AR: yeah theres probably thousands of alternate realities
AR: probably one where im a robot, probably one where we know eachother and are in a relationship, probably one where i have a hand growing out of my back
AR: basically every conceivable and multiple inconceivable reality
AR: ...s
DA: YES, IT'S A FRIGHTE^vI^vG THOUGHT, TO K^vOvv THAT YOU ^^AY BE O^vE OF THOSE THAT vvILL COLLAPSE I^v UPO^v ITSELF SI^^IPLY BECAUSE O^vE TI^vY THI^vG vvE^vT DIFFER^vETLY.
AR: yeah we probably are one of those

DA: vvE ^^AY BE A vvARLIKE SPECIES BUT vvE ARE^v'T I^vCAPABLE OF E^^PATHY. YOU ARE SE^vTIE^vT BEI^vGS, JUST AS vvE ARE. YOU LIKELY HAVE LIVES A^vD RELATIO^vSHIPS A^vD GOALS A^vD HOPES, A^vD IT vvOULD BE A SHA^^E TO SEE THAT ALL VA^vISH I^vTO ^vOTHI^vG^vESS.
AR: hm
AR: that almost makes me feel bad because i would not especially care if any other reality was destroyed
AR: almost
DA: I CA^v^vOT BLA^^E YOU.
AR: okay
AR: hey actually i sort of have to run here i left my
AR: alchemiter
AR: on fire
