[ so... Garrus likes poking around the network. he likes it a lot. but it's the first time that he's actually... really gone through with the effort to make a post on on it. might as well start with the small talk. ]

so, i've been up for a while and i can't help but notice something.

there's a lot of humans around here. a lot of humans that are awake, and not so many of any other species. take me, for example. back home, as amazing as i am, i'm only one example out of billions of turians. here, i'm the only one.

if you ask me, it's a little strange.

does anyone have a good, sound, scientific explanation for this? like humans are more storm-proof, or something? and how many of you guys are the only ones of your species that are around? are you used to it? do you find it weird that the locals don't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary?

all i'm saying is there's a lot of questions.

[ oh, and for good measure... ]

and, if any of you orbiters are hanging out around here, you're also welcome to answer!

You aren't wrong so how am I gonna be mad?

It's almost impressive how many humans there are in a given place, this one no exception.

[braidedwonder]

I've wondered about that from time to time. Like there's no damn way humans dominate every single universe. There has to be someone out there that's bigger and badder it's just evolution and yet -

Not a whole lot of variety going on here.

[agradecido]

Undoubtedly. There were a number of races in Thedas, but so far the only citizens of an entire continent and outlying islands who've roused thus far are a handful of humans and elves.

It rather makes me wonder if the stasis devices function with "human" as a baseline and work from there?

Or perhaps humans are merely the most common race on any world. Which, if that is the case, begs the question of why?

[braidedwonder]

They might? I'm not really sure. There might be no base line for it at all other than 'sentient.'

Or humans are just the lowest form of evolution.

Might be the best theory I've come up with, scratch the one above.

i am so sorry for him

That's the second time you've mentioned that word, evolution. I thought I could figure out the meaning from mere context but I'm at a bit of a loss.

[braidedwonder]

Wait a second - you don't know what evolution is?

What kinda back water place you live in buddy?

According to so many of you on this gadget, it's a planet called El Nysa. It's a bit advanced to me, however.
