((ooc: mostly because i've finished the game and its AWESOME and I was thinking how much Ratchet would love it in there. I'd app a character from it if i understood enough of the plot to actually know what the hell anyone says or does.))

S-so barren, with such tall buildings... Is this truly your future?

IF IT ISN'T, I WILL MAKE IT BE!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my! Are you sure that would be wise?

It is my duty in life as a Goblin, a genius and an entrepeneur to forge my own future! And this is clearly the sort of future I am supposed to be creating!

Oh my, a goblin? I did not know. Such different beings here!

So you make your own future? But...must it truly be so barren? Would that not hurt the agriculture?

Well... there was a forest in one of the other pictures of it...

My, that's not so bad, then.

It's... dusty.

The machines aren't. The machines are SHINY!!!!!!

I want one.

Which one? And how much will you pay me to build you one?

~~PAY?!~~

I want this one (http://i34.tinypic.com/2hs95ir.jpg)!

I like it!
But that thing looks about four times the size of mine... we're talking a BIG workshop and a lot of money.

Uh huh. So when will it be done?

that depends... you really can't rush these things, you know, if you want quality workmanship. and bad quality machines break down, usually with you inside them. although the more resources and money poured into the project, the shorter time it will take.

Well then! Let me know when you're done!

What a grim world. Where are your plants, your trees?

Such progress! Such grandeur! Such ambition! How can you call it grim?

It is a dead world. If that is your progress then I fear for your species.

Or I don't. If that is your future, you have callously destroyed your world to the extent that you deserve your fate.

dead? its more alive than its ever been before!

the world now is only in its infancy... its merely EXISTING... but this world has DRIVE! PURPOSE!

Really? How do you gauge life then? Mere moving parts and screeches?

Oh? And what purpose would that be? Give me a good answer, and I might rethink my opinion.

screeches? it doesn't screech! the music in the background is beautiful!

i do not know what it is moving towards... its hard to tell from a short movie clip... self-improvement? demigodhood?

I prefer the music of wind and earth, and the quiet silence of growing things. What your world lacks in color it makes up with in sound!

Hmm. Self improvement is a worthy goal, but it hardly out-ways the massive destruction that such a desert would imply.

As a Demigod myself, I can assure you that understanding the inner-workings of the universe relies just as much on respect for the world around you as it does on mastery of that world.

ah, well, each to their own. such a silent, still world would bore me...

besides, i've looked at other pictures and videos of that world and i'm pretty sure its not ALL desert.

You merely do not hear the harmony of life around you. That alone is worth ten symphonies.

Oh? What else is there?

oh, hullo, you again...
