Garbotalk: You speak of all humanity as the only inheritors of this world. The other beings, including presumably, members of your own kind, have lived here and will defend Earth, and us from any outsiders. If you are who you say you are, then you know this. If you don’t acknowledge them, then you are a fraud.

Reptiliandude: I do not acknowledge the delusions of human beings, or the false aliens which they have created. I represent those who calculate time between the worlds, and this one is being audited.

Of the years of forbearance promised to you, your species has wasted forty out of eighty.

Let us hope the next four decades are more fruitful.

Garbotalk: What is your goal for posting on reddit? Mine is to uplift humanity and help them see that they are part of a greater community of souls created by the One, who are all interconnected. To help them realize their potential as beings with unique and underdeveloped strengths and powers. To prepare them for what is coming. Is yours to ridicule? To warn? Then be specific.

Reptiliandude: Humanity is product.

The Ael’Kayeen are claiming exclusivity, or what you would call “patent rights.” There are those who see such a claim as detrimental to their own interests. I, as well as others, are here in the capacity of auditors to determine if those claims have validity, and what the best “impartial” course of action is for all concerned. As for your comments about humanity becoming part of a greater community, the beacon invited them, as it does all others.

They have so far declined the invitation; choosing instead to divide themselves up into camps of mechanists and vitalists.

Considering the limited content requirements and the tremendous energy required to send it, it could not possibly have been any clearer.

They have simply chosen for inane philosophical reasons not to examine the message and to do the necessary math.

They were even given a stellar calendar date etched in stone, which encapsulated an eighty year observation window including the direction in which to look, buried for thousands of years in Gobekli Tepe. These creatures unearthed a bloody time capsule containing a candle designed to light their way, then stupidly put a box over the top of it. And you’re sitting there tapping off a missive to me, pestering me to know if my intentions are honorable, all the while assuming that my species doesn’t even have the capacity to appreciate irony or for that matter even have the ability to enjoy a good belly laugh?

I’m supposed to speak through a Wall of Reeds.

That is what I’m doing.

I don’t have to attach myself these creatures, or do their schoolwork for them. All I have to do is to do here is my job.

Garbotalk: So I agree, you have an appreciation for humor and irony in that you’d reward someone who pesters you and pokes at you through your wall of reeds. Women do enjoy humor, by the way. A man without humor is completely unappealing. Looks fade, but the mind sharpens. Anybody that appreciates Mel Brooks is ok in my book.

I was told Gobekli Tepe was a zoo. If a time capsule was boxed up by individuals, how is holding the rest of us responsible for that stupidity warranted? The WoW signal is being studied. I think you have more empathy than you’ve publicly demonstrated. I feel it. Your wall of reeds might as well be a wall of stone for all the diffusion it offers. Surely humans are more worthy of a better future than servitude as spare parts. Appealing to your logic and the spirit of the One within you, I implore you to offer greater clarity.

Reptiliandude: Your world is under quarantine for your protection as well as for our own. The quarantine exists to keep you from being over-harvested, to provide a lasting manageable medium for a workspace and a secure containment area for biohazards.

What would you like to hear, an explanation as to what ultimately caused all this?

Fine then.

We never realized what prolonged effects sterilizing our environments or limiting our genetic mutations to what those we ourselves approved of would do to us. Nature refuses to be mocked…

Sometimes, what occurs in nature which we in our arrogance think is a mistake, often winds up being the key piece of to a puzzle that hasn’t even come into being yet. The reasons we haven’t revealed ourselves to you is because you’re needed for processing those things we drop upon your world.

You are the containment fields of viral and bacterial contagions which afflict other humanoid species. Your existence saves lives though it costs you your own. That is the reason for your abductions.

To prove our existence to you would serve no purpose but to make access to your world more difficult for all concerned.

Such knowledge would trouble both our economies and lead to more insistent measures from those who control the coin amongst ourselves. It is better this way.

Garbotalk: If the roles were reversed, how would your species react? Not well, I warrant. How do you resolve the moral implications of this exploitation? Even if you ultimately decided that we were no longer property, our historical relationship would be difficult to overcome, unless you were the ones who opened the cages to our imprisonment in your lab.

Before, you blamed another species for this genetic advancement of us. Now you take ownership of the decision to mutate our genes. Which is it?

Reptiliandude: The Ael’Kayeen pushed you forward. We broke their monopoly. Now, despite their lawsuits and continued protestations to the contrary, your genome now belongs to investors—of whom we are also shareholders in the endeavor. Resolving the moral implications involves using an infiltration process that does not result in your deaths, but rather–ours.
