	That's what the user manual says. [...] Are there aliens here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	likeamayfly 2018-03-05 02:54 pm UTC (link)
	Do you have one here? Yeah. But not the kind I'm talking about. Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weylandtype 2018-03-05 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	Not to my knowledge. Alien lifeforms interest me. What kind do you have here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	likeamayfly 2018-03-05 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	How come? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weylandtype 2018-03-05 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	Could you please clarify your question? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	likeamayfly 2018-03-05 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	Why do they interest you? Is it there biology, their history, their cultures? Things like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weylandtype 2018-03-05 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	Biology, mostly. But as an artificial life form I find all aspects of living, breathing, sentient species intriguing, because they often vary considerably from myself. Androids have no culture, for example. Tell me about these aliens in the woods? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well some of them are mostly humanoid. But I'll leave it to them to tell you about themselves. [...] They wiped out almost all of the human life, on Earth, where I'm from. The look like people, but they're not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am sorry for your loss. My last encounter with an alien lifeform was also an uncomfortable experience. They looked like humans, only much larger. They were actually a bit of a disappointment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Uncomfortable experience? They used some kind of EMP and knocked out the power around the whole freaking world. They caused huge tidal waves that flooded all of the coastal cities. All of them. They sent a plague that killed most people. I watched my mom die over several days. Her blood literally exploded out of her, trying to infect anyone who was nearby. My dad had to bury her in the back yard. And then when we went to a camp where the military was supposed to come and help us, they took my little brother and all the other little kids and then they killed everyone. I only made it out because I was looking for someone else that was supposed to be in there. I watched while they gunned down my dad fifty feet away from my face.

It was a lot more than an uncomfortable experience.

	This is probably part of why people don't trust you, you know. Because you don't get it. At all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I am incapable of feeling an emotional response to your loss. I apologize for seeming insensitive. It was not my intention to trivialize your pain. I am much more adept at expressing emotion in face-to-face communication. You are correct. Your experience is incomparable to my own. And I hope that you never have to relive such tragedy again. Perhaps one day I will have a better understanding of these things.

	I doubt it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Time will tell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Or you'll get sent back. Or die in an attack. Get damaged. Whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weylandtype 2018-03-05 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	Anything is possible. But I would prefer other options. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	likeamayfly 2018-03-05 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	So would a lot of people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weylandtype 2018-03-05 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	Then I will consider that common ground between myself and the others on this vessel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You might be the only one. (Reply to this) (Parent)
