I know your primitive brain doesn’t understand everything that’s happened over the years. You hate me for what I’ve done to you and your tribe.

I can understand that.

Your species were nothing but animals before I found you. Animals that showed a bit of promise, yes, hardly the most impressive species that dwelled on this planet. Sadly, I accidentally extinguished those when I first came. Now, you and your lot are the only ones who will suffice.

Well…eventually.

Still so much anger in you. Are you not listening? You’re not the same stupid brute that dug me out of the dirt. Granted, I did deliver several jolts of electricity to your nervous system when we first met. But then, you did try to eat me, so you weren't exactly blameless in that altercation, now were you?

You had nothing when we first met. Jumping at thunder because you thought the gods were angry, traveling in packs to protect yourself from predators. And don’t even get me started on your hygene. If I hadn’t intervened and given your evolution a jumpstart, you and your tribe would’ve succumbed to predators, marauders, or germs.

Silence.

Finally.

But it’s a resentful silence. Or…wait…no, not just resentment? Ha! It looks like your brain has finally developed enough for you to understand what I’m saying. And you’re curious. Curious as to what I am and why I’ve wasted so much time trying to communicate with you.

Well…I suppose I do have nothing but time.

This might take a while...
