They were given a planet to live on.

[ :| Isn't that good enough seriously ]

[im_apimp]

I think there was an issue with the one they were given. I don't know, I haven't done a lot of research yet. Besides, what's wrong with people being all they can be, and reaching for the next frontier?

[shotgunangel]

What does living on a Space Station-- [emphasis entirely borrowed from you, bro] --have to do with people being what they are?

[im_apimp]

As I said -- next frontier. It's the next step to them conquering ... something.

I mean, when you think about it, they're physically one of the weaker species on the planet. They get to swing their dick around by being one of the smartest, so they show off with all the smart things they built.

[shotgunangel]

You speak of humans like you don't count yourself among them.

...I haven't noticed intelligence having anything to do with dick-swinging.

[im_apimp]

It's easy to do when you're not one.

I wasn't being ... literal. I mean they're trying to one-up each other. To prove who's better.

[shotgunangel]

What are you?

--oh.

[ herp. ]

I haven't noticed intelligence having much to do with that, either.

[im_apimp]

I'm what's called a transgenic. I was built in a lab.

[smirks]

No, it doesn't, but humans are competitive by nature -- even the smart ones.

[shotgunangel]

[ The lineface upgrades a notch. ]

By other humans? For what purpose?

[im_apimp]

To kill people.

[for some reason, he just doesn't feel like pulling his punches with this guy.]

[shotgunangel]

[ As if it would ever be anything else. He sounds faintly resigned, and also implacable. ]

That is your nature?

[im_apimp]

No, that is my purpose. That's what they trained and conditioned me to do. And possibly part of my nature -- I do have feline DNA.

[shotgunangel]

...humans.

[ It would be an exasperated sigh out of anyone else. Because cat people, of course, why wouldn't they be growing cat people in labs and training them to kill other humans. ]

Your body being part beast is not an excuse. You have a mind, you have a choice.

You should not let your origins dictate your actions. Hell awaits the murderer without remorse.

[im_apimp]

Save the lecture, pops. You asked me what I was built for, you didn't ask for my opinion on the subject.

And for the record: I didn't have a choice. They conditioned us to believe that we existed for no other purpose. You could even go so far as to call it brainwashing. We weren't people, we were weapons. Us having the freedom to choose is a fairly recent thing, but believe me -- we're all on board.

[sound familiar, Cas?]

[shotgunangel]

[ horribly, yes, and his expression darkens. ]

My apologies.

I am familiar with that kind of conditioning. Freedom is-- a difficult thing.

[im_apimp]

[now ... that's new and interesting]

We're figuring it out, more or less.
