Destined Destruction: Death, Doom and Despair

Is it not our ultimate destiny to obliterate ourselves as a species? Many would say it is. And those who would say otherwise are simpletons.

Technology is undoubtedly en route to annihilation. One must merely look around to see the vile workings of applied science.

Technology will undoubtedly be our undoing! That is if evolution doesn't undo us first. For, it seems, nature is working, progressing, toward the very same result. Life will seek to reset itself and start anew. But will we humans allow nature to run its course and lead to our destruction? Or will we seek our own means, carve out our own path of doom?

Oddly, Zane was once again missing. I often find my perimeter devoid of Zane and it causes me worry. Perhaps I am growing too attached, though in a completely heterosexual way. I must remember, remind myself, that Zane is merely a test subject, though it seems he too is my only true friend. And what an abundance of fortune it was to have happened upon him.

If there is a way to stop this destined destruction, then the secret is surely within Zane's biology. He could very well be mankind's only hope.
