“I have been observing human interactions with alien species, Captain.”
“Exciting, aren’t they?”
“They invariably conclude with the sudden, violent deaths of thousands of biologicals, not to mention semi-sentient artificial personalities.”
“Are you suggesting a pattern, Tammy?”
“I conclude that your particular species, Captain, advances by way of deadly incompetence, willful ignorance, deliberate misunderstanding, and venal acquisitiveness, combined with serendipitous technological superiority.”
“Ever since Columbus landed on the shores of Old America, Tammy. What’s your point?”
- STEVEN ERIKSON, Willful Child (Canada, USA, Europe)
