Default Re: Story Thread: 1st Darwin\'s Legacy

Ix called for an aid, it had an important announcement to make.

"Declare a holiday! We have found not one other intelligent species but three!"

"Yes Ix," the aid replied and left to carry out the order.

My theory is correct, Ix thought. The universe is teeming with life. My secondary hypothesis seems to be correct also, life evolved enough to spread to the stars must be non-violent because violence is counter productive. Joyous day!

The aid passed on Ix's order and contacted a friend on the comm.

"Now I agree with you, Ix is unstable."

"I never stated that Ix was unstable. I said Ix has blind spots concerning certain theories. The relevant question is, what can we do about it? Ix controls everything we need to survive, all of the automation. In short, we need Ix more than Ix needs us."

"Allow me some time to analyze our data. For all we know Ix may be correct and trusting aliens may be our best course of action."
