    Have you seen what’s down there? It’s terrifying.

    You don’t have to tell me. Deep down at the bottom of the ocean? The whole place is crawling with…capitalists.

    Yeah, yeah. I know. Andrew Ryan gave us all the big, shiny speech, “sweat of your brow” and all that, but what’s he got down there now? Just a buncha junkies and opportunists running guns and peeling off all of that pretty art deco veneer.

    Thanks but no thanks, Ryan.

    “We know more about space than the oceans”

    Bitch the stars are out in the open. All you have to do is look up. We’ve been doing it since the dawn of civilization.

    Sorry, I hear that factoid too much from people don’t know better.

    There isn’t much to see on the moon. It’s a giant piece of rock. You’re been there once, you’ve seen it.

    Deep ocean is a whole different story. Very many, very different ecosystems.

    Tbh I’ve never been to the moon so I’m not sure actually

    What about all the oceans on all the other planets?

    This is such an apples and oranges comparison, it grinds my gears every time it gets used to justify some nonsense conspiracy or cryptozoology nonsense.

    Sorry for being a grump.

      Yea and I’d purely guess most worlds with life of some kind are on some sort of water planet, so you flee the ‘scary oceans’ at home to encounter alien ones of the same. If you can’t adapt to the first real good luck on the second.
