...they were trying to eliminate the need for sleep. To find a way to keep working while they rested.

Only the method they found... didn't go the way they had expected.

[[a short pause]]

S3NT0's memory's been restored. He realized what was happening too late to stop it and tried to make a break for it. But didn't make it. That's why his memory was missing.

Most of the times the people who set the deadlines aren't the ones who have to meet them.

And sometimes it's a deadline that hasn't been set so much as it's just unavoidable.

Then you get more people to help, or you catch up on sleep afterwards. You don't just find a way to stop sleeping. That's not healthy. Or, as these people apparently found out, a good idea in general.

[[What is this "catching up on sleep" thing you speak of, Stone.]]

These people are made up differently than what we're used to. To someone who's form isn't organic, but digital, finding an alternate way to recharge that doesn't involve being inactive makes a lot of sense.

[[also to someone who's a workaholic and insomniac. But he's not gonna mention that.]]

[Hey, Raksura Aeriat really do need more sleep than some other species. Stone can push himself pretty far, with the endurance of his old age, but he'll still crash for two days afterwards like any other creature.]

Look what it got them. A new kind of creature that takes them over and destroys their world. And you're still arguing that it was a good idea?

Just because mistakes were made in chasing an ideal doesn't mean the ideal was wrong.

[scarsolderthanyou]

How exactly is "don't ever need to sleep, only work all the time" an ideal? It doesn't make anything better. It just wears people down, or turns them into mindless drones like those things out there.
