The Last Sentinel2007

[first lines]

Angel - Tallis' Rifle:
'It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.' Albert Einstein made that statement when the steam powered locomotive was still a wonder of technology. I wonder what theory he would have had for the mess mankind has made of things now. Humankind did the best that it could most of the time, but complacency cost them. The first wave of the Drone assualt destroyed them. They never had a chance to regroup after that first devastating attack. They had no reference for its sheer force. Hmm, but we really lost the battle before the first shot was fired, didn't we, Tallis?

Tallis:
Man does not live in peace.
