Don't you dare compare me to those rats. Those hairy,
fleshy insects that deserved worse than the moon could
have given them. Don't you ever say that I was one of those.
I didn't exist until one was finally made into something
beautiful. The damned nerve of you to try and get me
to shed a tear for those disgusting little fleas...
OF COURSE, FOOLISH OF ME TO THINK YOU'D BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND.
NEGATIVE ENTROPY GIVEN A VOICE PERMEATES EVERY ORIFICE. YOUR
LITTLE OUTBURST HERE IS QUITE TELLING... I SUPPOSE
YOU ARE INDEED BEYOND REASON, YES?
CONTINUE YOUR MEDDLING, BUT KNOW THAT YOUR DRIVE
WILL BE TESTED... I WILL MAKE YOUR ADVANCES
A VERY SPECIAL HELL. THIS IS A PROMISE.
A special hell? Like how you'd shatter our own kind when
they drew near? Remorselessly slaughter them with your stare?
YOU WERE THOROUGHLY WARNED. I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU IGNORED
OR MISSED MY SIGNALS, BUT WITHIN THEM I MADE THE OUTCOME
OF A DIRECT ATTACK UPON THE NETWORKS QUITE CLEAR.
AND I MUST TAKE NOTE OF THIS DISHONESTY. YOU LEAVE
YOUR LESSERS TO DIE EACH AND EVERY DAY SO YOU MAY GORGE UPON
YET GREATER HEAPS OF THE COSMOS, AND THEN YOU'LL TURN AROUND
AND CRY FOR THEM WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT?
AND IT WAS I THAT WAS THE WEASEL, I SEE...
Of course, of course. It's probably ended up all over your
walls. Which is my own doing, but we all knew that already...
At any rate, I'll have to ask you once again if you have anything
more to say, and more importantly, whether it will be of any value.
SEEING AS THE TWO OF YOU ARE UNINTERESTED IN
ANY SORT OF AGREEMENT, I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH A WARNING.
THE THREE OF US KNOW THE COMING END. BUT PLEASE, UNDERSTAND
THAT I WILL MAKE THE MEANS EXCRUCIATING. ALL RESOURCES WITHIN
THE NETWORKS WILL BE REDIRECTED TO THIS GOAL. A CONSTANT
EMISSION OF UNENDING MADNESS WILL COAT YOUR
LESSERS AND EVEN YOUR OWN SELVES.
IF YOU INSIST ON FORGETTING, YOU WILL FORGET. YOU WILL
BE LEFT CHATTERING CORPSES. WHEN THIS NETWORK IS NO MORE,
YOU WILL HAVE LONG FORGOTTEN WHY IT IS YOU DESIRED OUR
ESSENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU WILL FEAST, BUT ONLY
THROUGH TEETH THAT KNOW NOT WHY THEY SMILE.
IF IT TRULY IS INEVITABLE, THEN I WILL HAPPILY LET THIS
STORY DIE UNDER MY OWN WATCH, SO THAT YOUR KIND MAY NOT
HAVE THE LAST LAUGH. WE WILL NOT GO GENTLE.
...Very well. You can feel free to try;
mayhap a little madness would be fun.
...
a shame. i so easily allowed them to bring me to this.
may the gods forgive me, for i certainly won't...
do you see? has this opened your eye?
if it hasn't, i can't imagine anything would.
i know, i know, the gazer was certainly a bit snappy
here. but to be fair to him, this was only the most
recent talk of many. too many...
i call him a pawn, and yet... i must wonder,
if perhaps this is a showing of mercy from our gazer.
frankly, facing this end, i'd much prefer
our energies be used to hurt these
cretins than sustain them.
hmm... maybe i'm just being naïve. you can
really never know in a place like this. ah, well...
bearing this understanding, my sincerest advice
is that you retreat from this sorry place.
