.weapon | sit here | i need a thing to talk this at.

.the |future| is a mess.

.the traveler was not meant to descend | until its death | the outers were not meant to retreat | it's all fog | clouds of radiation | space noise | nothing is clear | i cannot see | a|n|y|t|h|i|n|g |.

.this |now| seems to be the p|oint of di|version.

.ah | wait | i see.

.|now|.

.is when i tell you | what you are for | and that |now| atomizes into potential.

.then | listen.

.there is an | idea | more pervasive than any | other because it is the | idea | that existence ends | with a final victory.

.the parable is reality | oh my best beloved | it is the one truth of the universe | it is a flower game | do you understand.

.there is a being we can|not kill because it is not a being | but an | idea |.

.and that | idea | will kill us all | because that | idea | is all that remains at the end of existence.

.this is why yo|ur tomb one day will be emp|ty.

.because you were | never fated | to enter it.

.we needed | a weapon | to kill the | idea.

.deter it fr|om trying | in the first place.

.we voted to see the weapon unsheathed | and propel you forward | to face the idea and its chosen.

.just like it wants | just like we want.

.um.

.ex|cuse me | can you | speak up

.||'What about what I want?'||.

.pfffft.

.that's rich.

.unless.

.oh|.

.hm|.

.well | split my atoms.

.no wonder | i cannot see how it ends.

.|you| want | something | else.

.and though you are | small | and | simple | you can still.

.| choose |.

.and all we | giants | can do.

.is watch.
