Sorry, I suppose there are still some imagining it, but that kind of loss is unacceptable. One life is a miracle. Trillions of them?
No, no one would risk losing all of it on a stupid gambit. It was decided that the only way to deal with them was to let us outgrow them on our own. It was the only way. The ONLY way, imagine?

They are multidimensional beings! They can see far beyond what we comprehend, they could see every possible permutation. So, do you know what that means?
