ChamaH jav - Retreat

[general_chang]

[Instead of dinosaurs, Chang's object of interest is this, if a little more scuffed up. He holds it to the camera, holding it at various angles. His voice appears from behind the camera.] It is the month of Merruthj.

[He finds that funny. It is the Klingon for 'retreat'. The camera's focus goes to him.] It is the second time we have arrived at a world that humanity's grasp exceeded wisdom. All this... scientific progress, to be packaged and sold.

[His jaw tightens and he flings the box aside.]

Capitalism. [Ponders, he's not one to think in those terms.] It is the fact that it is couched in naivety, as if their idea is… ambitious enough, then the consequences will… [He shrugs. Vanish? Simply become less important? What's few eaten kids?]

She's correct in that other races have them. [Referring to Frances.] But it's no less a stunting and unsympathetic trait.

Any 'correct' aspect she may have is stunted by the fact that she is dismissing it in the same breath. It is not a matter of non-experience, it is purely a matter of hubris! She knows not of what she speaks beyond an academic interest!

I will be grateful for their hubris even if borne of incompetence. Those well-meaning frogs give scorpions like those on this island and myself our lives.

These animals have proven themselves survivors.

[Thoughtfully.] This a small island for large creatures permitted to breed. Time will tell.
