“You fool… You conquer a mudball and think of yourself as exceptional? You believe you can negotiate? Bargain? Perhaps you need to reassess your position more carefully. A blade of grass does not get to negotiate with the river when it decides to change its flow. A tiny grain of sand does not get to debate tides. I have to say, human. Your arrogance is quite amusing.”

“So what will you have us do? Just not defend ourselves? Just allow you to roll over us and let you do whatever you want to?”

“I don’t care about what you do. But I am a messenger. My only duty concerning you is to inform you of the single directive that cosmic sociology works on. And I have fulfilled it.”

“Do you despise us?”

“More than you can imagine.”
