...I wonder...the Pale Wars...everyone who lived through it has terrible stories, but so many people didn't live through it. It makes me wonder now how many of them were women, who died because they were women. No one's kept track of the statistics. We don't have a proper census any more, although E-Rep is trying to organize one.
[But the horrors of the Pale Wars is too grim and personal a topic for an audio conversation with a man he doesn't know very well. So he switches the subject, makes a wry joke.]
So, there are kindly, sophisticated races somewhere out there in the universe? That's good to know, because there's bugger all down on Earth these days--my Earth at least. Counting the Volge we've got nine sentient species but none of them can really be described as kindly and sophisticated.
