Audio; Backdated to the 13th, Pre-Explosion

[coyoteking]

Hey. This is Yvry, not that that means shit to most of you. Anyway, a while back me and Deputy Pratt had this idea for an audio guide. More topics than just the newbie guide, but in short bursts.

Basically, something that'll keep you from having to read the entire network history, and isn't long and boring.

Anyway, here's that guide. It's mostly for new people, but I don't care who downloads it. If you've got any ideas for new topics, corrections, whatever else, I'm all ears.

Oh, and can we get one of you flying-types to go up and take a picture of the city from above? We need an accurate map, and go fuckin' figure, there's no satellites around here. Thanks.

it's not so hard to understand
you do whatever you have to to protect your own, even if it means sacrificing other people

[He may or may not know too much about that, actually.]

i don't think they're evil, but then evil is pretty subjective.
they want us dead. they're all logic without emotion, pursuing what they think is good and what they think is productive at all costs.
isn't that its own kind of evil? it is to me at least.
i mean i get what you're saying, they're not sadistic murder machines, but from where i'm standing, they're still in the fucking wrong.
and i'm sure that's how they see us, so it's mutual.
i don't know if either of us is actually right in the grand scheme of things, but i also don't think it matters. everyone just does what they have to.

[And now that he's done on his TEDTalk,]

thanks, though. all of this has been helpful. is there anything else you want people to know? about you guys or the null?

[thirdreturned]

Of course.

I don't have anything that I'd have you add to your guide.

Though- I've avoided commenting on my own entry due to my own biases but... you...

[Wow, he really shouldn't have started saying anything. Sorrow is cringing even as he's typing this, thanks.]

I was... unaware that the humans compared our chosen forms, particularly on the basis of something as irrelevant as how pleasing our appearances are.

[coyoteking]

people are shallow, what can I say?
they can't help comparing people, and you look like a people.
i mean you are a people, but i mean you look like a human.
i guess you just got lucky and happened to pick a form that they like.
