“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

“It’s not that we don’t like you…”

    I borrowed an iPad last night and took it home, looked up Becker episodes on YouTube and enjoyed every moment of that wonderful curmudgeon. This goes right along with that.

    These poor extroverts; there's no getting it across that they needn't yap incessantly to exist, no?
