...how unfortunate. By this point, one might believe that you raw materials enjoy being in mortal peril. As your survival instincts have yet to dull here-- and considering your unchanged attitudes on death-- just why you continue these strange behaviors is a question to which I can formulate no answer

Naturally it won't keep people from going out.

[evaluative]

It should, if they do not wish to meet a similar fate to those that have already engaged that creature.

[wishsrequiem]

Yet it will not matter. Some will still continue to not use their brain cells.

Though it will only have negative repercussions on them, I would prefer to study raw materials of more intelligence than these.

[wishsrequiem]

There are few and far between of those.

[evaluative]

So there are. However, if they have been specifically chosen to be here, one would expect that they would not be so useless.

[wishsrequiem]

I wouldn't be so sure it is selection. Perhaps our dear scientists choose at random.

[evaluative]

There has been proof to indicate as much. They watched their potential subjects for a time before bringing them here, and selected them...based on their perceived worth.

[wishsrequiem]

Define worth.

[evaluative]

I cannot offer you their particular definition of the word.

[wishsrequiem]

I thought not.

[evaluative]

It is...something that depends on the individual, is it not?

[wishsrequiem]

Or culture.

[evaluative]

Even among those in the same culture, there are deviations from the standard.
