Agreed. And before that happens, we gotta get the hell off this rock and spread our "virus" elsewhere!

Why?


Seriously, why do we "need" to do this? Why is it essential for our species to live forever?

If we live, we live. If we die, we die.

Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.

Yeah, you're right. We don't "need" to do this, nor do we "need" to live forever.

Because if we don't Valen's prophecy cannot be fulfilled and the Shadows will overrun the galaxy.

For that matter, why do anything?

Basically because we want to. Well, most of us anyway. Sure, our survival instinct is the result of evolutionary selection favoring animal life that derives satisfaction from self preservation. But that's who we are and how we think.

My understanding is that most of the planet is like one big sandy, rocky beach, only without the oceans.
