"Oh, c'mon-- I th!nk !t's a better !dea than rely!ng on the goddamned-pa!n-!n-the-ass of process farm!ng mushrooms and hop!ng !t can feed everyone. You sounded pretty certa!n about that not be!ng someth!ng that can or w!ll happen."
"Hold on a minute, Emily. I think I can explain this better." Mimi stepped into the elder's hut's doorway and stared him in the eyes.
"Village elder, my name is Mimi Manson, and though you may not know my story, I am the Seer of Space. When I first entered this realm, I did not know what that meant. My ignorance of my role has caused me to hinder my allies in reaching their own goals, when my true goal is to enact the opposite. If I do not explain this to you now, your village will likely starve."
Mimi pointed to sky outside the hut.
"
You live in a galaxy governed by strict rules. These rules were built for your ancestors, and by all accounts, they benefited them. Factories did their duties, snakes lived peacefully in jungles, and all other aspects of life went on as they were supposed to. Had not other beings - some gods, you may say - decided to interfere with this galaxy, these rules would have continued to provide you a peaceful life."
"However, there's has been a... what's the phrase..."
"I have seen it with my own eyes. Malicious entities have swarmed into this world and others like it, starting a sort of makeshift Armageddon. Even the - I call them "intruders" - who have good intentions have upset the vital balance of your realm which would have normally lead your world to prosperity and my allies to victory. They work against each other with conflicting motives, preaching of failure when victory being negated is their own fault."
"I have had visions, fleeting as they may be. Snakes lying dead on the burnt grass of a decimated jungle. Black-carapaced warriors executing innocent people and hunting others down. An all-powerful entity, hovering over a large sphere, preparing to destroy entire civilizations on a whim. These freak occurrences are my jurisdiction, but leading your people to salvation is yours."
Mimi stepped back inside. "Because the delicate order governing your realm and others has been disrupted by forces outside our control, the same rules which once brought you peace are now bringing you destruction. Due to the circumstances, your best option now is to fight these rules. And in the end, I think that's what the lesson here is. Breaking the mold and second-guessing the things you took for granted may be what's necessary for both your village and I to succeed."
