Honey: Well, if you want my take-
Ulric: The wrong take.
Honey: *Chuckles* Hey my take is the
end result of doing a bunch of research, looking through
archaeological and paleontological records and scouring ancient
folklore from across Animalia to try to pinpoint a proper origin
point for the species! Whereas your 'take' is almost nothing but
baseless conjecture!
Ulric: *Huffs* Baseless conjecture.
Surely when you were looking at some of that ancient folklore and
depictions of these 'humons', you saw the depictions of those
'unknown crafts'? And what about all the sheep turning up in the same
passages as these humons?
Honey: First off, those 'crafts' are
hieroglyphic separators. Second-
Ulric: That's just what 'they' want
you to think!
Honey: *Sigh* Let me just state my
case, alright?
Ulric: Fine.
Honey: Based on everything I could
scrounge up, to me it looks like these 'humon's' were a species that
preceded the “mammalian explosion' during the previous ice age.
From what I can gather, I believe they split from the great ape
family and evolved much more slowly than mammals did. This of
course, would make them rather easy pickings during the 'great
mammalian explosion', as out more intelligent ancestors presumably
hunted and chased a great many of them out of their habitats as they
expanded and eventually drove them into hiding. Of course, since this
preceded written language for most species of mammal, accounts of the
humons quickly faded into little more than folklore without mammals
to see them first pawed. A cryptid up there with the likes of the
Loch Neighs Monster and CatSquatch. Any rare sighting post that time
was relegated to hoaxes and fairy tales. Of course, how they managed
to eke out a semi-modern existence in terms of cultural development
without ever revealing themselves still has me scratching my head. I
mean, how did they manage to hide their cities for so long?
Ulric: If I may?
Honey: You're going to say it anyway,
so...
Ulric: First off, the 'humons' are not
related to the great apes. I mean, look at Marcus and Lilly! You can
see the sheepish bone structure, and their hide is the exact same
pink tint that most sheep's are under their wool!
Honey: I really don't see the bone
structure thing. And I mean, lots of mammal's have pink hides under
their fur. What exactly are you getting at?
Ulric: 'Humons' we're clearly created
in a lab by sheep, using a portion of their DNA as the base and
combining it with several other species to create some sort
of...' super mammal' foot soldier, ordered to lie in wait until the
time is right to strike and help them finally take of all of
Animalia!
Honey: Are you sure that's what
happened, and not a nightmare you had?
Ulric: If they can hide their cities,
they must have hyper-advanced technology! And the fact that they
could hide themselves for this long among us I mean, who's to say the
'sheep overlords' aren't hiding in a moon city!? HA! I used to get
laughed at for that one! But not so funny now is it!?
Honey: While I'll admit I'm not sure
how they've managed to stay hidden for so long...I mean, that boat
Marcus came in was about as advanced as stuff from the early last
century. And based on his descriptions...I mean it seems like they
are behind us by a good century in terms of technology. I really
can't imagine them being a real threat to us. If they tried anything
now, it would just be the first Zootopian's versus the native wolves
all over again.
Ulric: Well if Dad and my brother
would let me actually investigate that boat I could find the cloaking
mechanism that is clearly hiding its true form! Then we could
actually start reverse engineering and preparing for the coming war!
Honey: *Shakes her head, planting a
soft kiss on Ulric's forehead that causes the wolf to recoil.* Oh, my
sweet Ully, You are lucky you are so cute...*coughs* and hung...
