01. AIRSHIPS!! [Text]

I didn't know we were gonna get the chance to get our own airships! I know I missed being able to wake up and see nothing but sky and clouds out the window. Made drying the laundry a lot easier, too.

But that kinda got me thinking- you couldn't get very far without an airship back where I came from, but a lot of the people I've talked to have said they've never seen anything like them before! I know a few people here have had SOME sort of flying machine back in their world, though. If yours did too, I gotta know- what were they like?

For that matter, how many other pilots do we HAVE here, anyway?

[There's a bit of a delay, but the messages soon continue, albeit now with a header featuring a security certificate. Hey, this iMog was easier to figure out than he thought!]

I can tell you more about it, but you might not like what you hear.

[That's curious. He made the conversation private... hm.]

Sure, let's hear it.

The storm was put there to wipe the humans off the planet.

The rest of us were lifted above it all so we could start things over.

Is that so? Somehow, I'm not surprised.

Really?

You're human, right? You're taking this better than I'd have thought.

Well, not all Earths are headed towards the same end. Still, even if they're not, sometimes I could see our mass extinction occurring. It isn't an uncommon thought, but if it is to happen, it's not likely in my lifetime.

You're probably right, but

You don't think it's grim? I know I wouldn't want to hear about all the caninu and felineko getting wiped out.

Death comes eventually.

[There are a few brief instances where he might see Naoto's typing, but not sending a message only to type again.]

Caninu and Felineko?

The ones who were left to take what was left of the planet.

I'm a Caninu.

Someone just too "Canine" and "Inu" and brought them together. Same with "Feline" and "Neko".

[He can't see her face, but please.]

...I suppose? So what?

[THIS is the part of the story that's getting a strong reaction...?]

[Priorities...]

I suppose nothing in the end. It's just your kinds are literally Dog Dog and Cat Cat.

Hey, it's not like *I* picked the name!

Still, this beats the response I usually get when people notice I'm a dog. I think.

True. You're a victim of circumstance.

Considering the varied races here, it's better to just go with it. There's no point in making a big deal.

THANK you. Never got why there's little white stuffed animals flyin' around but I'm the one who always gets the stares.

[The conversation has a moment to breathe before he continues.]

I gotta ask. Why can you see your own extinction occurring? Is human civilization really that bad?

Indeed. Seems hypocritical to accept moogles as our companions and then find an oddity in someone else being a sentient animal at human stature.

Presently, I'd rather not divulge such information especially over the network even if this is private. There's no certainty that this won't somehow get out.

[She's starting to remind him of someone, and he's not too sure how he feels about it.]

Really? It's not like you're the only human here.

Not every world functions on the same rules even if humans are or were there.

Then why're you so afraid to talk about it?

Why do you assume it's fear that keeps me from speaking about it?

So what DOES?

Similarly to how you thought people wouldn't want to scan the network and read about humanity going extinct in your world, I doubt they would want to be able to come across what I had to say about my own. And overall, I doubt this network being 100% secure.

[He'd give that to her. Maybe not in recognition of tact over curiosity, but because if she's wrong on that point then he would be, too.]

Alright, alright. Still, you humans are still around there, right? I can't imagine it being THAT bad.

Yes. How bad it is could be debatable. What would you consider a force that you can't defend yourself against?

Bad.

If you can't defend against it, how did you deal with it?
