"It's too perfect," Leo responded, "We created it that way."
"It was to simulate a perfect habitat," Cap continued, "And see what Homo sapiens would do with it."
"Well, we messed up," Alice commented, "We've destroyed our planet."
"But you guys have created so many amazing things!" Pollux noted, "You have music, art, a culture!"
"But it doesn't feel real anymore," Judie retorted.

Castor didn't get to finish. For suddenly, there were loud incoherent yells from deep in the forest.

"Perhaps."
"This is quite entertaining, sir""Oh, it'll get better."

The silence was eerie as they wandered around, attempting to find a way out.
"They're the natives," Castor noted.
"And they're very aggressive," Pollux continued.
Then, another scream was heard.
"We should get you home."
