Thomas recognizes their banter as being the subject of a commonly told folk tale."It reminds me of the story of The Behemoth: a creature that is born in a void - born out of nothingness. Out of this nothingness comes a sleeping animal. Over time, while The Behemoth sleeps, bits of dust and rock begin to cling to its fur, building layers upon layers. Over many millenia, a planet is formed, with the slumbering creature resting in its center. Eventually, life occurs on this planet, and ages pass. Then one day, the creature begins to awaken. It yawns in its waking moments, and begins to stretch its weary limbs. This stretching and shaking destroys whole cities and topples empires, and the peoples of the planet unite to destroy this creature: the center of their universe has suddenly turned against them, and they must destroy everything they once relied on in order to continue existing.""Wait - what reminds you of that story?""Nothing. I...I don't remember. What a delightful story, though."</blockquote>
