Book 19: A Function of Firepower — Part III

Transcript

 

Unnamed velociraptor: What if they need our help?

Blue Boloceadean: With their technology? They can't possibly need help we can provide.

Blue Boloceadean: But if they do need help, it's because they've picked a fight with somebody they can't beat, and we're not getting involved in that.

Unnamed velociraptor: Maybe they just want to talk?

Blue Boloceadean: About what?

Unnamed velociraptor: How about how life is locally anti-entropic? And how to plot the amplification of that effect as life becomes intelligent?

Unnamed velociraptor: You know, small talk.
