"Interesting," the Baron remarked, inwardly musing about the many ways that human civilization was supposedly going to end. An amused half-smile creased his lips- the Master's sadistic little giggle reminded him a bit of a certain someone back home. Piter would have found this concept equally entertaining. All in all, he was quite pleased with his decision to impose 'detention' upon the Master. It was proving fun. "That's one way for the world to end. In some other universe, it's going to be all sex and parties, according to one Jherek Carnelian. Hard to say how mine's going to go- we avoided the 'destroyed by thinking machines' fate already, although I'm sure Ix would be pleased to throw people's heads into mechanical spheres." Vladimir was completely unaware that civilization as he knew it wasn't going to last that much longer- had he known that it was his mutated great-grandson who'd do this, he'd have been so proud, despite the Atreides name. "So, do you have any memories of these sphere-people destroying the rest of their ancestors? I'm inclined to think this would be a good show."
