>Alright. Let us see what we need. First of all... I have no idea how to ask the birth-god for new people. But I know that for that you need two people who share a bond and a priest to perform the rite. Of course it would be best to have more people than that, but it would suffice for the most basic kind of village. However, there are no people close by, which means we'll have to travel all the way to Picitaku to ask those people to come with us. Luckily I have already been there once and know how to get there. That's not going to be easy, though. Up here on the Karaku Mountain, we'Re fairly safe, but down in the lower regions, Demons and other dangerous creatures can be found. But, I have a rifle and know how to use it. We should be okay.

>Short answer: Yes.

>Long answer: It really depends on the demon we're talking about. I told you I'm a capable hunter. You see... Fruits-of-the-earth are rare in this region. So in order to have enough to sacrifice to the Chip-Giver-God, we had to hunt demons as well. The smaller ones are usually not even that hostile, but they make great sacrifices. However... some demons are more dangerous than they look. The bigger ones I wouldn't even attack, but a hunter from Picitaku was once ripped to shreds by a demon no bigger than his thumb.

What's Picitaku like?

>It's more more prosperous than our village was. They don'T have as many demons, so they can afford having more people. Because many people usually attract the nastier ones we could never have more than 10 people around. The people from Picitaku are living inside their mountain, unlike us, who lived atop.

They created us to help the gods. And then they vanished. That is... the short version. I dunno if you are interested in the longer version, which Tellars couldn't tell the same way even twice.

Sacrifices are made to him so he gives the chips Great Giver wants so much. A lesson in humility, in a way. Its not unreasonable to think Chip-Giver is, in a way, fed by the sacrifices.

Its not unreasonable to believe we had someone sacrificing to us to keep us fed, keep us flying. The question here is, why the sacrifices stopped? And what exactly were we carrying?

And what is a human? Hard to say. They... would look much like you, maybe with less implants.
A human is like you, but organic. They are responsible for the creation all inorganic life forms. I'm not sure what other differences there might be... Well. You feel emotions, so that's one similarity. Do you ever have the urge to create something new and original? Or change something to make it better?

>I do. I had a house in Picitaru. And I improved it every now and then.
>I don't understand your concept of organic, though.

They aren't born in the Birth God.

>Now that is weird. If not the Birth-God, who gives birth to them?

And if what he said is right, the humans made all gods, because the humans needed servants.

>That sounds a lot like the Bolt Spirits in Tellars's stories. That would explain, why he- IT has never seen any. The Bolt Spirits are all gone.
>Have you met humans?

>>119376
Despite what the other voices say, you are a human yourself. You are just enhanced.

>>119376
We have memory of humans. What they are, what they look like. No specific events.

As for where humans come from... They reproduce sexually, if that means anything to you. Um, females become impregnated by males, and the females eventually give birth to an immature form of human. It is very small, and requires constant attention by the parents to develop and grow.

With an immature human taking something between 15 to 20 years to fully grow and learn everything it needs.

Hmn, what can you tell us about the bolt spirits, while we're still traveling?

Hmn, creative urge, and means to act on them. Capable of language, understanding, thought. They're right, in a way, you are 'human'. But maybe a different kind of human.

Heh, thisis getting awfully introspective. We hope we're not a bother.

>>119376

Humans are born of humans. They are binary self-replicating entities, in that two humans of complementary type (male and female) may come together and produce a new human, who possesses a combination of the basic traits of the two originators. The new human may also carry some new minor tweaks that have never been seen before, due to random fluctuations during the creation process.

That 'bond' thing you mentioned, and the ritual to create more people at the birthing machine, seem to be derivatives of this replication process. Humans need neither machine nor priest for it to work, however. That shouldn't be so surprising though, given that they came before either of those things.

Binary self replicating... jeez we can't explain anything, can we?

Organic is a kind of machine composed of many smaller machines. These tiny machines, called "cells" contain of a certain amount of fluid surrounded a protective membrane. Inside a cell are even smaller machines, called "proteins" which operate the cell. The cells in turn play a part in operating the body of cells, or just the "body".

There is also a storage medium called "DNA" from which the proteins are derived. Proteins and DNA can only operate in a neutral pH saline solution, so any organics you encounter will likely be quite wet and squishy. They are not as amorphous as you might imagine though, having a highly developed structure, and even rigid material called "bone" that are exuded by the cells to protect them and give the overall body a rigid structure.

I don't know how similar you are to "organics", or how similar we are. It would take a microscope and some chemical analysis to determine that. None of which you have time for, so please forgive the ramblings of a likely broken machine god, and instead pay attention to your surroundings.

>>119376
The important question is, do you have dangly bits beneath your undergarments?

What's between your legs is used for more than just peeing, lass. We'll tell you when you're older.

We were aloft for 2242560 hours. That is approximately 256 years, considering 7 years is accurate for you. A decade being 10 years, 256 years is 25.6 decades. "several decades" is anywhere between 3 and 7 decades, but a good deal less than 25.6 decades. If we were a product of this OIT organization, the demon would have specified "2 centuries" or "dozens of decades" which is more accurate to account for our earliest chronological record.

Speculation: demons that can speak may also have the capability to lie. We are headed into a death trap.

>>120006
It is in humans. She just said she didn't have a "port" though so uh... maybe it's only used for peeing now?

Do you have any idea where the Travel-God will take you? If you know of somewhere to get to, this might be your chance to escape. I'm still curious as to what the OIT are up to, and running without a destination in mind isn't a good idea, so I wouldn't recommend it, but it certainly is an option. Assuming you can even wake the Travel-God. If you can't, then we've got nothing to do but wait.
