A. Andi: Grind toys, noted. Scum testis polka. Knobby, use all, how you claim red bug, moms with axes, very nice blue eon up, skeletal. invasion. out

Jan-Maarten explains:

Andi reminds me that this does not have to be a hypothetical question, as grinders are taking evolution in their own hands (and other body parts), and Andi hopes I can make good on the suggestions in its response.

It is unimpressed with boys-meets-girl dynamics, and wild dancing in general (‘Scum testis polka’). Maybe because the ensuing type of reproduction is messy and invites venereal diseases and angry parents (‘how you claim red bug, moms with axes’). So, as in its earlier response to Q02, Andi makes it clear that it is happy with its current mode of living (the Great Cycle of flying away and creeping on), and would rather not join the circus of sex and death.

However, Andi would love to be able to raise its head and look at the blue sky for a long time. To achieve this, Andi would like to invade a skeleton, so it can move out of the logs and research labs it inhabits, and travel the lands.
