Cameo POV - [System Sub-Manager Zorb.68710]
Things were progressing nicely and we were on track for completing the integration of this new species nicely. These humans were interesting organisms. Somehow they had survived long enough, despite their somewhat violent and self destructive tendencies, to reach the crucial milestone. Of course they were nowhere near the worst in this respect. The participants from Sector 2369 were significantly more violent, and the previous participants from this Sector were a complete disaster.
Looking back through the archives I was surprised to see that it was the same planet last time. That was such an exceedingly small probability it didn’t even register. Just goes to show that some things just can’t be predicted. Out of interest I dug into the records. Ahhh, here in the executive summary it states that the genetic criteria for uplift was too wide and thus the whole iteration was compromised. That age old problem of sapience vs sentience. Getting it wrong was catastrophic.
Hmmmmm, getting back to the matter at tendril I noticed the resolution of our support tickets was well below par. This should be tracking well above 99.99%.
I flicked up some more details… total of 64,802 open tickets. Who wasn’t paying attention? I was going to blow some serious wattage up their… Oh... whoops, that's me. I had inadvertently silenced my message notifications. This was not going to be good. I opened the link with some trepidation.

Just the single instance has raised all these…. I paused trying to grapple with this baffling intelligence. I wasn’t sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing but it certainly was the last thing I expected. It was beyond strange, the problem tutorial had been running for 18 hours actual? This was simply unheard of. Using the local valuation of time these instanced tutorials should run for between 6 and 9 minutes each with an elapsed subjective time of approximately 180 to 270 days. Taking into account the time compression this one had been running for… I paused again, not quite believing my senses… 32,400 subjective days?… or 90 years give or take a year.
Oh no, I was in so much slime.
Time to escalate and take my medicine.

Stairway to Heaven
Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings, far too weak to survive amid the other extraterrestrials that lie dormant across the galaxies. Instead of physical altercations, they would rather engage in verbal abuse, breaking an individual's psyche as a hobby. They excel at deception and manipulation, far too interested in bringing their brothers and sisters down and reaching for the top of their self-made hierarchies. Beyond their questionable nature and moral compasses, they long to find meaning in their lives and put names to the feelings that drive each passing moment. They are insatiable—far too greedy for more knowledge and a supposed understanding of their lives. It's pitiable, really, the way they struggle to find themselves while ravaging their kind through petty wars and conflicts built off of misunderstanding. Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings. They created words and languages to fill the holes that lived inside their souls, desperate for ways to find meaning in their incredibly short lifespans. They'll waste their entire lives trying to find their so-called passions and reasons for living, acting as if they truly rule the way their lives go, supposed "controllers of their own destiny." Yet, they cannot evade the inevitable visit from death, who stands next to them, ticking the seconds down until their demise.
