You know, my friend,
I do have some experience

with what it is to feel
like my body is lying to me.

I really do think
I can help restore your avatar.

No sh*t.

But clearly you've
ignored something for too long.

Wow, you are so afraid
of being vulnerable

that your subconscious
made you... female?

Where did you get
the stupid idea

that vulnerability
is inherently feminine?

Then I guess your avatar

Ah. Progress.

The Polity draws close

But what will they do

when the land they seek to
conquer is soon uninhabitable?

Holons for the wealthy,
hollow death for the rest?

That is not salvation.

The Polity has already lost.

They've lost humanity,
man and magnanimity.

When they att*ck again,
we will fight again,

for the evolution of our existence,

so that one day, we may
all Ascend into the Flow

and know eternal life.
Together!

you could enter a temple

combusting, Dr. Jha.

Fortunately, only garlic

And what becomes of people
who don't Ascend?

They are lost.
To dust returned.

I know you don't want that
for humanity.

You want as much as I

We'll continue
your great quest, together.

Salvation for all.
Find eternal life in the Flow.
