It's just something I've been thinking about. I was interested in your opinion.

[ ... ]

I don't know if I've mentioned this, but in my world, we're running out of space. Overpopulation, you could call it. We had a plan to create more storage, but it required land that's currently home to historic ruins.

It's stalled out negotiations.

I see...

[ now that is a conundrum. taair frowns, a hand coming up to his chin. ]

... Are there not other ways to preserve them? With all the technology you all have, surely you could document and photograph...? Perhaps even move it...? Unless it is the site itself of significance, not just the ruins that remain...

[ what if we just picked up bikini bottom and moved it over there ]

Even still. History is an important part of life, but if there is no life, there is no more history.

I suppose it would be possible to 3D scan them and create a simulation within the cloud. But that would be more to the benefit of my people than the embodied, and it's the embodied who want them preserved in physical form.

It holds cultural significance to them, but moving it isn't really an option. It's big, and besides that, the land does belong to them.

[ ah... his expression goes more sympathetic, frown deepening. ]

I see... the context helps, a touch. [ hmmm... ] So, the preservation of their way of life, and the loss of your people...what a difficult situation to be trapped in.

What has made it to the negotiation table so far, do you know...? Is there any route to compromise?

We had already reached an agreement. Everything was proceeding when it seemed as if they suddenly changed their mind.
