One would suppose the laborers in such a world must fare exceedingly well, hm?

[ PTO was not an acronym which existed in ancient Uruk, but Gilgamesh has some concept of what must be referred to. ]

So this is what progress could look like... I suppose. To think on it... the scientists, the engineers, the laboratories... ah, but also, if these people are to be believed, the mages with their grimoires and the alchemists with their potions... all in the name of this world or this one city-state.

Well, that's a glorious story, isn't it? I might even say it mirrors my own Uruk: but my story was at the beginning of time, and this, I dare say, seems a lot nearer to time's end.

[ though the universe at least looked healthy enough from their vantage point, so far. ]
