He got to, like seven, no eight, duh, hence the...anyway, he used the machine thing on eight nebulas...nebulae? Nebulae. Well he go to eight nebulae before it blew his face and skin everything else off, I think it disintegrated him maybe, but he ended up as this consciousness attached to these nebula energies. Doesn't sound too bad. It's kind of given him a new take on things. Sort of a higher view on life and such. He doesn't really understand morality or mortality, since he believes all life to be based more in their energies than their more corporeal aspects. Kinda makes you think, huh? Really we're all just these clouds of atoms, and most just wanna be happier clouds and some wanna disperse other clouds...Anyway, I ordered my drink like an hour ago, what's...You ever heard of the cloud people 'round the Andromeda Globular...You know what? We're leavin'. I got a bar we can go to where you never haveta wait for a drink. 'Cause I own it. Okay, we're going, let's go let's go let's go.
