"Do you aliens have the concept of 'Call of the void'?" The human had been an endless source of questions ever since they had first set foot aboard the ship.
"For the last time, my name is Allan. I'm a Draginac. Why keep referring to me as aliens?"
"I don't know, sounds cooler. Allan is such a boring name."
'sigh' "So you keep telling me. Fine, no I don't know what that concept entails. Please, tell me." He knew he was going to tell him anyway, with or without his acknowledgement. Often his craziest stories started similar. Hopefully it wouldn't be as bad as that time he tried to explain slock movies.
"Its when you stare over the edge of a cliff, or something, and then... you know." The human looked at him with a knowing look.
"No I don't, that was supposedly the point!" He often wondered if the human ever thought through anything he said. No, was his currently best supported theory.
"Well, you get the voice in the back of your head telling you to just, take a step, see what will happen." He had always suspected the human was mad, but to come right out and say it.
"No you really don't! Non suicidal people at least don't."
"Oh come on now, I'm not suicidal." Although his every action surely suggested otherwise. "Its just, you know, a thought."
"Yes, and so is suicide. Would you like to talk to the therapeutic AI perhaps?" He had often made this suggestion to his compatriot. Still had hope that he would do it, someday.
"Pff, that silly old thing. Doesn't know anything about humans." Or perhaps about this specific, mad human. But he kept that thought to himself.
"So you are trying to tell me that every member of your species is suicidal, by nature, from birth?"
"No! Yes, well a bit." He said with a thoughtful look on his face. It almost looked as if he was thinking it over. As unreasonable as that was.
"A bit, well then I see." He really didn't, some of him still hoped his life was just a fevered dream. It would make all of this make sense.
"Alright, like with a practical example then. Say if I hit this button here, what would happen?" he looked at the big red button the human was gesturing at and,
"NO, NO YOU DO NOT! NO. NO. NO!" That was the one who emptied the ship of atmosphere in case of fire. It was supposedly safe for both of them since it would immediately flush the ship with a new one and the whole thing would take just about 10 seconds, supposedly. "Oh come on, its perfectly safe." The mad human said, as he started to move his finger forward.
That and the screaming sound of his own voice, was the last thing he remembered before waking up again. Apparently he had momentary blacked out since he was laying on the floor right in front of the idiot. "Im going to kill you, I swear!" He said in a tired weak voice.
"Woa, what a rush! Hehe, it seems the system does work after all. Oh, did you say something?" A simple look at the creature that continued to bring him such misery told him that his swears were for nothing. Something that voluntarily does that to itself, out of curiosity, is clearly immortal.
