Prologue: To the Human race.

[Dave Reynolds]

Since our viral and geopolitical culling programs have been initiated, we felt it was time to issue a message to you, our greatest experiment.

Out of the countless thousands of worlds we have seeded, the planet you call Earth has been a joy to observe. We never dared hope that we could cultivate an entire species that could blindly follow ideology, even when the ideology could end in self-destruction. We have never observed a species that could destroy the very ecosystems that are needed to sustain existence. Your ability to coldly slaughter each other is, quite honestly, an aberration. But, it is for us a useful aberration.

As the culling continues, only the most savage and ruthless of you will survive. Rejoice that your kind will continue, for you are truly the culmination of millions of years of research and development.

You, dear humans, are the ultimate biological weapon. And your time has come.

Signed,
Bio-Research Group XTC, aka "God".

1. what's so sad about that is the likelihood

it is true (in some fashion or another)

[Dave Reynolds]

2. We seem to be headed in that direction,

I just got a wee bit whimsical with it.

3. not sure "whimsy" is the word i'd use

terrifying, prophetic, apocalyptic is more like it.....

[Dave Reynolds]

4. I may expand the idea into a short story.

It just popped into my head today.

5. Reminds me a bit

of the classic Twilight Zone episode A Small Talent for War.

6. It does me, too.

Dammit, whenever I think I have come up with a good one....:hi:
