“I am relieved, mankind. In a being such as you, selfishness would be catastrophic. You have shown that you can think higher than your station, and for this reason, I shall reveal to you that which I revealed to How-ard.
Mankind grows and tries to form a whole, a community - but somehow, it becomes more dangerous, more angry, and with no direction for this anger, besides itself and its world. And then I was discovered. Mankind created this place to find me, to silence me. They tore open my resting place and set about destroying me - and I, with no form of defence, was forced to attack. I am not a barbarian, I am not the invader - you are.”
