Dark matter collection is...difficult. [He sounds groggy, like he just woke up, or, more accurately, like he hasn't slept for a while. Exhaustion might also be the reason why he actually brings up something about his past, and why his thoughts are slightly scattered. He'll get to the point eventually...]
There were people at home, when we tried it, who said that we were wasting a valuable resource. [A snort.] Wasting it on saving the sun. They said that the bomb was too much of a risk to create.
[He pauses here, trying to collect his thoughts.]
I think they wanted it to be a weapon, as most military types would, though it was never meant to do anything but save us. We stupidly called it a bomb and the world trembled.
That kind of power shouldn't be given to any one entity- country or person, I mean. What would happen?
I'm sure that something has happened because of that. I don't normally deal in hypotheticals, but...this can be an exception. I'm just curious as to what's happened elsewhere.

I need a duplicate comm. Obviously not with the same...abilities as my other one. I don't need another warden item. But with the same computing strength and the same AI voice and personality. That's it for right now. I might add more later.
