Pull on the new flesh like borrowed gloves and burn your fingers once again.

A weapon is a tool. A tool for killing and destroying. And there will be times
|
|
|
|
|
when you must kill and destroy. Then you will choose and equip yourself with the tools
|
|
|
|
|
that you need. But remember the weakness of weapons. They are an extension --

|
|
|
you are the killer and destroyer. You are whole, with or without them.

For all that we have done, as a civilization, as individuals, the universe is
|
|
|
|
|
not stable, and nor is any single thing within it. Stars consume themselves,
|
|
|
|
|
the universe itself rushes apart, and we ourselves are composed of matter in
|
|
|
|
|
constant flux. Colonies of cells in temporary alliance, replicating and
|
|
|
|
|
decaying and housed within, an incandescent cloud of electrical impulse and
|
|
|
|
|
precariously stacked carbon code memory. This is reality, this is self knowledge,
|
|
|
|
|
and the perception of it will, of course, make you dizzy.

You are still young and stupid. Human life has no value. Haven't you learned
|
|
|
|
|
that yet, Takeshi, with all you've seen? It has no value, intrinsic to itself.
|
|
|
|
|
Machines cost money to build. Raw materials cost money to extract. But people?"
|
|
|
|
|
She made a tiny spitting sound. "You can always get some more people. they
|
|
|
|
|
reproduce like cancer cells, whether you want them or not. They are abundant,
|
|
|
|
|
Takeshi. Why should they be valuable? Do you know that it costs us less to
|
|
|
|
|
recruit and use up a real snuff whore than it does to set up and run the virtual
|
|
|
|
|
equivalent format. Real human flesh is cheaper than a machine. It's the axiomatic
|
|
|
|
|
truth of our times.

|
Peace is an illusion, no matter how tranquil the world seems, peace doesn't last long.
|
|
|
|
|
Peace is a struggle against our very nature. A skin we sketch over the bone, muscle,
|
|
|
|
|
and sinew of our own innate savagery.

The human eye is a wonderful device. With a little effort, it can fail to see even
|
|
|
|
|
the most glaring injustice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Humanity has spread to the stars. We set out like ancient seafarers to explore
|
|
|
|
|
the limitless ocean of space. But no matter how far we venture into the unknown,
|
|
|
|
|
the worst monsters are those we bring with us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What we believe shapes who we are. Belief can bring us salvation or destruction.
|
|
|
|
|
But when you believe a lie for too long, the truth doesn't set you free. It tears
|
|
|
|
|
you apart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We aren't meant to live forever. It corrupts even the best of us.
