016 + THESE ARE BUT THE OUTSKIRTS OF HIS WAYS [video]

Can you imagine what it must be like to be an ant?

Problems that humanity deals with would seem irrelevant - the warming of the planet and all it's related consequences, the population explosion and the subsequent issues, including overcrowding and famine, the expansion of information, and the overwhelming perseverance of human violence. But there would be other problems - like the catastrophe of the appearance of an anteater or another predator animal. There would be tasks like to gather food. And there would be nothing but the colony and the queen.

Now imagine if an ant were to become a human. How difficult it would be to grapple with basic bodily functions, and the variety of emotions and chemical responses each action and reaction brings. Even humans must learn to walk - can you imagine if an ant tried to learn to be bipedal? I imagine it would be a task more monumental than for a human to enter space.

It's difficult to think outside your boundaries, no matter what you start as. Difficult to understand something or someone on a scale dimensions different than yours.

This is how I feel the Admiral sees us.

How would you feel about beehives in the greenhouse? I think they would benefit the plants greatly.

[PRIVATE to the ADMIRAL]

Would you permit beehives to be added to the greenhouse?

[PRIVATE to DRACULA]

I'm sorry that I killed you.

As ever, a beacon of cheer.

[A distantly terrifying, unnamedly dreadful beacon of cheer, but being matter-of-fact is how Stildyne handles that.]

umgekehrt: A gauntfaced man, from neck up, looking at camera with an ironic smile.  Has yellow eyes, scar bisecting left eye. (Says the officer)

You're coming dangerously close to displaying a sense of humor, there.

People might start to suspect the admiral had replaced you.

The latter. Or there's a flood on.
