It did not speak, Alamo. Perhaps it did. Perhaps it didn't. But, it said something. <Darkness it spoke. The human alone. The human alone? <The human alone. The human alone alone is a darkness unto itself. We were built as social creatures. The human alone is not our design. <Then why did it speak? >It did not speak. It was dead. The dead ancestor. <The dead ancestor was the human alone. Our ancestors...The ones on earth? They were human alone. <Split between culture they were. Human together, but separated. Human alone they were unto themselves. Human alone they were unto themselves. The Skeleton spoke to me of the darkness of the past. <The human alone kills everything.
