Have you ever wondered what comes next? Evolutionarily. After humans.

[ Stephen is in his own cabin, a light and airy space that doesn't really seem to suit him. The camera is propped up on the edge of a sink, where he's washing out blood and dirt from the clothes he wore while out in the port.

He's not really looking at the camera. ]

Do you think humans could ever be a food source for another animal?

Easy but wrong.

[fireincarnate]

Always.

[She's quiet, for a moment.]

...I don't think it's a bad thing, to focus on your own. To make sure everyone is happy and safe, as much as you can. But you can't forget that other people - other species - matter, too.

Or that the world doesn't care about you.

[Her lips twist into something like a smile, wry and worn.] How are we defining "world"?

[dinosize]

Not just people, that's for sure.

[fireincarnate]

Okay, then I might agree. [Some people care, she knows that, but society as a whole - not yet. Maybe not ever.]

I guess we're all Earth's children, when it comes down to it.
