Go ask someone else who might know.Make sure they don't look important. And get out of the elders' sight first.
I agree. It makes more sense, especially given the various areas RNA is used.We have entered the Protein Age, a hypothetical era before the RNA Age (which is itself a hypothetical era before life made the conversion to the more stable DNA as a coding substrate). Proteins produce themselves or other proteins, but there is no external code which may be read or translated from (that is not itself a protein).Indeed science is loose, and it is debated, but I subscribe to the theory that says that RNA age came before the protein age.
Edit: The science in this is very loose and in some places downright wrong. It is a story that gets across the broad facts, and should be treated as such.
You commit suicide.
I wish I was rich, happy, and safe.How is suicide a sign of happiness? Here's how you do it:
Not sure if it canonically happened, but it's a potential issue."Make sure it's a quiet soldier this time. Last time I went hiking with one of those buffoons they trampled a unique-looking orchid before I could examine it and scared off some sort of smallish reptilian creature which looked fascinating. Never had I seen a bipedal lizard..."Okay, no soldiers makes sense if these problems occur.
