The questions and the answers

What defines humanity? At what point is someone so altered they are no longer human, and what emotions can we lose before are are not even remotely humane? I am curious.

I think humanity is about having friends, and being able to relate to other people.

[greyerrant]

Ah, but the xeno-races also have friends and are able to relate to one another in many ways. What makes a human different from a primul, or one of the other races that have been encountered in the Great crusade?

[all_wound_up]

I... I don't know. I never knew there was anything like that out there.

[greyerrant]

Well, now you do. I suppose that is educational.

[all_wound_up]

I'm sorry... I don't think I have the answers you're looking for.

[greyerrant]

Don't feel bad about it.

[all_wound_up]

[She smiles a little.]

Oh, I haven't introduced myself, have I...? My name is Nano Shinonome.

[She bows at the camera, revealing the key mounted on her back.]

[greyerrant]

I am Cerberus.

[all_wound_up]

Cerberus-san. It's nice to meet you.

[greyerrant]

[ He thinks for a moment. How do human interaction? He resolves on reciprocating. ]

A pleasure to meet you as well.

[all_wound_up]

I hope you find the answer you're looking for.

[greyerrant]

Philosophical questions are hard to get truly answered to anyone's satisfaction.

[all_wound_up]

That's true.

[greyerrant]

I am sorry for putting such a question to you.

[all_wound_up]

It's all right.

[greyerrant]

You are new here, are you not?

[all_wound_up]

That's right. I arrived just recently.

[greyerrant]

Do you find this place as strange as I do?

[all_wound_up]

Yes... very strange.

[greyerrant]

What year is it where you are from?

[all_wound_up]

It's 2011.

[going by the date of the anime, I guess]

[captainofthe10th]

Interesting.

[all_wound_up]

What year is it where you're from?

[greyerrant]

It is the 30th Millenium

[all_wound_up]

Millennium? That means...

[Nano's eyes go wide as she frantically tries to count the years on her fingers.]

That's so far in the future!
