"To continue to probe your oceans is to wake your sleeping Father.' You should not fight him. He slumbers in the oceanic abyss because he was beyond death. You should not disturb him. You should not explore the oceans.' When the universe is so utterly under your control that it feels like nothing more than an extension of your bodies, then perhaps you can do away with The Father as a precaution, but even that is dangerous. His powers are dampened, his body is bound. All you can do for now is try not wake him.' He could awaken at any moment, but nothing at your disposal could prevent that. Instead you should simply avoid causing it. Even if he woke up you might not be harmed, as long as you do not draw his attention, or get in his way. But you probe the seas, you send your machines too close to what remains of his toy empire. It was he who forged your genes with his own fingers, warping his previous creations in a halfhearted bid to colonize the land. But just as you emerged he lost interest, his unknowable thought turning inwards, his toy empire receding back to the great wound, but still surviving. If he is awoken he will send an ambassador. If he is displeased he will send an army." - Robert Ahern
