What an intriguing development - my mind did its best to understand all that the Ascended were, to fathom how and why one would choose to become one. "Fascinating," I comment softly, very much embracing the science-nerd within me and just rolling with it. "Pleasurable?" I repeat, wondering at just what that meant, not really expecting any further elaboration though - the question was posed more as a rhetorical one than one I wanted answered here and now.
"So what're the downsides to this whole Ascension thing?" I spread my hands as if searching for an answer, my tones light and friendly as it has been this whole time. "Besides borrowing abilities from the other races, why else would you need to bite them?" What else was in it for them? It sounded a lot like turning one's body into a weapon, with little other purpose except the detriment of the other races - though perhaps I was too clouded by what others had told me of the Voice so far, and leaping to incorrect conclusions. I awaited his response with avid interest.
