The duo has entered the chat.

Last man on earth has entered the chat.

The duo:

Well, here we are; I don't think it's right to ask but why do you use such an old method to communicate? There are already many programs designed, if this were not an army computer it would not even have telnet.

Last man on earth:

Because even when you've seen everything in ruins, not everything is like that... and the programs have been tracked by market utility for over four hundred years, so if you'll excuse me, I prefer a messaging app that no one else uses because no one else does. Let me introduce myself, I am one of the few living beings with technology and I know how to use it, as you can see.

The duo:

So is there more? I always thought that civilization needed a strong hand to not fall, but this is beyond what I learned in the academy and my partner did not even know of the existence of an advanced civilization.

Last man on earth:

It is not far from the truth: there are few nuclei of civilization left in this country, but I did not contact you for a talk about what you do with your life; I want to tell you that there are very useful resources in the place you visualized, they have reuse plants, desalination plants and most importantly, fertile land and the latest breeding and hunting animals.

The duo:

But this hospital has the facilities that we need to develop a small civilization in which we teach our people to defend themselves, we do not see the need to attack a fortress with armed and semi-automatic units, much less without firepower, here the other of the duo does not he realizes the number of deaths there would be; When I arrived here they were barely alive and most of them were on the verge of death and I helped them using natural resources.

Last man on earth:

Nothing is possible without technology! You know it well and you didn't save anyone, since I have access to the cameras there I can perfectly see the symptoms they presented; no homemade penicillin could take care of that, stomach infections don't cure like that... You almost killed your troops! Don't you see it? You need more people, I can teach you; There are many things you can learn from what's around you, let me be your eyes for this attack.

The duo:

I don't know... yes I know... the people who live there can't track us for now and you want us to attack. What do you gain from that? When did you see that we need you? Or rather, why don't you attack, if your urgency to defeat them is so great? Wouldn't it be better if you defeated them without sharing the glory?

Last man on earth:

Because I can't leave here, I want a better future for those who live here, they know as well as I do that planting is easier if you have the place, I conditioned what surrounds me as best I could but the desalination plants are the best that we have at hand. I hope to be able to get enough raw material to be able to face the vicissitudes of this inhospitable place. I am a survivor of civilization before its collapse, but I am not the only one. There are still the CEOs, not the poor bastards who only lived to make decisions. and they died in anonymity, I am referring to the UCEOs (sole commands) they were the ones who pulled the strings in the guides of battles and conquests between countries, they were responsible for the fall of civilization and out of fear they did not show their faces; They killed the poor people they led and preferred to lock themselves up here for comfort.

The duo:

But that was in the past... now that place is occupied by other people, people who perhaps don't know what life is like outside of that place, it doesn't seem fair to me (by the way, call me Chuy) that we destroy them just because they had an advantage over those of us who live in this hell... also (and Joshua myself) am the legitimate heir within the "renaissance" project and if I run they will know that I am qualified to face business life and I will be able to acquire the position that I have spent my entire life aspiring for... I will be CEO of paleobotanical companies.

Last man on earth:

You do not know? These same people are the ones who have run the companies long before the catastrophe; They are crippled, with a more than numb brain but they are the same, they do not know the renaissance project for the simple reason that they were never interested in it; It was the best way for families to leave them alone; While everything collapsed they hid in the depths of their bathtubs, their comfortable spas and far from the world. They started what now has me imprisoned! I'm just telling you that if Joshua comes around like a prodigal son he'll just get himself wiped out like it was nothing.

The duo (is absent):

Last man on earth:

You know better than me, how the little culture that remains has fallen; Have you seen wholesale ads for theological or sexual garbage, only seeking to trade when there is no longer a market. They are programs that design variants, I am not telling you to waste your preparation, I am asking you to use it once the last ones fall and build a true society that does not depend on them.

The duo (is busy): Last man on earth:

They know it deep down, you, Chuy, understand that we must obtain revenge, it is not possible to pretend that life went to waste because of them and forget it as if it were not hard enough, we have to know that they live comfortably, it is not for me nor for us this dream; It is for our descendants, your descendants, to be able to return to the great times, you did not live them but I am sure you could enjoy them as much as I do. We will lay the stones that will mark the rebirth... and Joshua, although you will not be CEO, you will be able to make your descendants so, we live in a poisoned world; It's time to change it.

The duo (now available):

We will not kill our people... unnecessarily, but speak, we have agreed to eliminate these people to begin the rebirth and we will finally have a life to call our own, only if you guarantee that you will not be alive by the time we die... and that the society that you suggest it's worth it.
