Well, that's an interesting idea...

I wonder how that would work out, though...

√(-1 + 5 + 9 - 0 - 4) = 3

Like I said, I'm still working everything out. But so far I'm getting somewhere.

I mean, how would a lifeform all the way over at a diffirent planet share the exact same biological function, except for the layout and variables, have gotten there?

That would imply that something at the earliest stages of human development has come to Earth, picked up a species of native wildlife, and put them on a diffirent, terraformed planet, so they would evolve paralel to us in time, but on a diffirent planet.

Or... Who knows that they didn't just pick us up from a planet, where we were originally one of the inferior species?

And what's their motivation behind it? Was it an experiment? A test of comparison?

And, how do we compare to the species that would be evolving alongside us, on their diffirent planets?

Are they better than us? Smarter? More friendly to their kin? Is the reason that our society is soo messed up actually that we've been an inferior species all the time, and that, for example, the Feline taxon was always meant to be the real "human"?

Scertainly interesting questions you've raised, Michen...

Eh, that's possible...

They have vacuum resistant boats, and have traces that can be seen in pretty much every sentient species history, soo why not...

Plus, they're ugly...

Shudders... Perfect!

But why do they do that?

I figure the oldest species in the universe hasn't survived of off charity, so what's in it for them?

Or are they just bored out of their mitts?

They (or actually most of the universe) were kinda at war with one of the other "first ones" some thousand years ago and the Vorlons decided it'd be a good idea to travel the universe and sneakily manipulate the younger races in ways to make them more likely to align with them and their wishes should they ever have need of it. (Which is also why they look like angels/other equivalent religious figure to other races when out of their encounter suits.)


Originally  (all the "first" races who stayed behind) purpose was to "guide" the younger races and kinda watch over them, but over time they kinda forgot their true purposes and ended up doing stuff for their own  gains instead.


Their hearts might have been in the right places once tho.

I blame different dimensions for Zila's existance!
Even though I never intended to raise stupid questions like those.

Ooooh, soo Michen just meant that Zila comes from a paralel universe where the Feline taxon evolved to be dominant over all other terrestial species...

Now I'm still curious as to how that world would look like...

From what I've heard, they have weapons, but they don't have any sort of armoured vehicles...

Ooh, and what does the bible say about extraterrestial life? 0_o


@Cz

Oh, yeah, species like that creep the hell out of me. Aliens coming in to "help and guide" younger civilisations, and stuff...

I don't know why, but it has kind of an interstellair pedo vibe to it...

Hey, I can write a book about that!

Personally I find the thought amusing.
That there are aliens out there having a serious laugh at our stupidity, and perhaps one day when we too walk among the stars they'll come up to us all "Ohaidere, your species is adorably stupid. Remember that one time when you nearly wiped yourselves out? My how you've grown. We've knitted socks for you all!"


I mean, it's certainly better than a more advanced/older race being all "We were here first and we don't like competitors."

Yeah, that's scertainly true....

But, to me, they don't really look like those kinds of ayy's...

To me, they look like the kind ayy's that, if you found them on your porch, you'd politely ask them to "please get off my property", or you're going to find out if their encounter suits' chestplate was designed to handle .458 socom...

But, then again, that may just be me, as I have the same opinion about the Asari, and most people just have naughty fantasies of those... >_>


Oh, and also, to me thought of an older/more advanced race being not happy with us, and seeing us as "competition" actually feels slightly more comforting, as it means that said aliens are actually somewhat scared of us, and aren't the interstellair equivalent of the "friendly neighborhood cop" running into a kid who's finally making his own bicycle trip down the street...

They wouldn't appear in their encounter suits on Earth tho. They'd just use their mind-entering ability while you slept and give you some kind of prophetic dream, or plainly appear as whatever would put them into your good grazes. Because sneaky and stuff.

1 ^ 5 - 9 ^ 0 + 5 = 5

Brisky, I'm a little shocked. You couldn't even be further off if you tried.
And the Bible says spirits do exist.

Hmmm... No objections for my instinct to shoot them?

I guess a .458 inch hole is a big hole, even for the oldest civilisation in the universe... ;P

Mind entering abilities are all the more scary, though...

@Mn

Sorry?
