Mud-monkies. That's a new one.

[trickster_mk2]

I'm beginning to think it's a bit insulting to monkeys.

And mud.

[Not that Gabriel cares. If there were more monkeys around, maybe it would be different. But right now he's got bigger things on his mind]

[martyrtoscience]

To mud, at least. Humans are so obsessed with cleanliness.

[trickster_mk2]

Yeah, weird that. [Roll of the eyes right there] Strange, considering how they're completely immune to bacteria and shit.

[Gabriel. Gabriel. You're not meant to be defending them anymore. Stoppit.]

[martyrtoscience]

They aren't really immune to much.

[Except maybe common sense and intelligence.]

[trickster_mk2]

Nope. You'd think they'd be more concerned about threats that way, wouldn't you?

But if we're all going to have to die, it might as well be because they're all too stupid to stop it from happening.

[martyrtoscience]

They're never worried about what they should be.

[Nikola has no plans to die because of a human war. He won't. It would be awful.]

[trickster_mk2]

Not until it's too late, anyway.

[martyrtoscience]

And they never listen to the experienced people.

[trickster_mk2]

I think we've both seen this happen enough times before.

Something's gotta shake them up.

[martyrtoscience]

I've tried. [Peace never breaks out, damn it.]
