Description

Here’s the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: We created a universe to explore the behavior of life.

Panel 2: It occurred to us that if two strands of life met, they might not have a way to communicate.

Panel 3: So we built a universal language that all of them could use.

Panel 4: The language was so universal, life found it could be used to talk to non-life.

Panel 5: But when life forms met, they both told the non-life to make the other life stop.

Panel 6: Now, only non-life remains.

Panel 7: And all it can do is listen.
