AU, Subroutine 'verse. Progress demands that the sacrifice of others is necessary. The victims, of course, have no say in the matter. Unless you're a User, that is. UPDATED 8.17.2018.

Title: Query

Prompt 7/10: Grass

Updated: 8/17/2018

"What do you think grass feels like?"

"Like grass, I suppose. Wet, unpleasant, and green."

"You don't like the color green I take it?"

"It's an ugly color, representative of an infection. The Users call their own gangrene."

"Yes, but I've seen gangrene, it's not terribly green at all."

"So the data would have you believe. It doesn't change the fact that green is ugly, and I suspect the grass will be as well."

"What about yellow? The sun is yellow."

"The sun is not yellow, the sun has no color. Another misconception created by Users as a result of their atmosphere."

"Then, surely, it means it counts-"

"In any event, it doesn't matter," Mercury interrupted the young ISO. "We're programs, not humans. It would be impossible for us to enter their world as though we were flesh and blood."

"It never hurts to try, Mercury."
