[Screen turns on to show Trance, and her bonsai. And she does not look happy. ]

Well, that didn't work at all, did it...

Briar? Does anyone know Briar? I'm afraid I disappeared on him.  I'm sorry if I alarmed him. I really didn't mean to do that. That shouldn't have happened at all.

If you were from my universe; absolutely. Any other universe I would hope didn't go through the same thing. They're sentient machines, programmed to harvest civilizations.

Such things exist in my universe as well, and undoubtedly others. Each are different, the Magog are not machines, although the end result is the same.

Technically the Reapers aren't exactly machines, either. They use the... genetic material of the civilizations they harvest, convert it for use in creating more Reapers, mixed with the technology that they were first created with.

[she looks honestly a mix between sick and furious when she describes that process. It makes her angry every time she thinks about how this has been going on for millions of years, and that it is going on in other universes is even worse.]

I hope the end result is people realizing what monsters are lurking in the edges of space and eradicating them, across the board.

That's disgusting and horrible!

The Magog are similar. They infest sentient beings with their eggs, which eat their way through you as they grow and hatch. They feed on living beings. You know, they can only start the digesting process if they kill their prey first?

But still, I did know a good Magog. He was very good. A Brother. The wisest man I know. Perhaps they all aren't without hope?
