I'll share an opinion with you, as someone from the outside. The time for you to hide is long past. Existence may not have been ready for us at first, but it is now.

Wait... Really? And the survivors were never hunted down like dogs after that?

@Stratocracy

*Shakes my head*
No. In fact, within the IA, our race are basically revered. We're all... We all are seen as heroes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Oh... But, what of those that did? Including yourself?

@Stratocracy

*Smiles at this question*
Not a one of them isn't successful. The alliance we sought to forge, what must be so long ago for you all, is now universes large and stronger than ever. Still growing in power every day.

*Pours you a glass and hands it to you, then does the same for Curtis, and hands you each one. Then looks at Curtis and twiddles my fingers*
So, you're one of us too, even though you're not from here? That means you were around during the invasion. How many others survived?

@Stratocracy

... Almost no one...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I guess politics is probably the same here.

I would figure that's something pretty ubiquitous in technologically advanced societies. Not the same discoveries, of course, but a lot of various ones being made by mistake.

@Etcetera

Given, but I'm sure the number of discoveries made accidentally vary widely between civilizations.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Some of the best discoveries have been made by accident.

@Etcetera

Depends on where you're from, but yeah, it's certainly happened a lot.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Research and development?

@Etcetera

Sure, that enables it. Just like anything else.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Curtis?

@Etcetera

It was by chance. Or perhaps fate? Who knows?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Maybe. When was the Kalsimer attack on our home universe? Do you know?

@Stratocracy

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

I don't, unfortunately.

@Etcetera

Right around four years.
