Space doesn't look like that

_"In all your travels, have you ever seen a star super nova?"_

_"No. Well I have. I saw a star explode and send out the building blocks of the universe. Other stars, other planets and eventually, other life. A supernova. Creation itself. I was there, I wanted to see it and be part of the moment. And do you know how I perceived one of the most glorious events in the universe? With these ridiculous gelatinous orbs in my skull. With eyes designed to perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum. With ears designed only to hear vibrations in the air."_

_"I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays. I want to hear x-rays. I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly, because I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limited spoken language. But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I'm a machine... and I could know much more. I could experience so much more but I'm trapped in this absurd body."_
