At least I can say we were not quite as insatiable as the Sharlayans are... generally speaking. I'm sure there were one or two of us who pushed the envelope a little too far, even so.

[Like Athena. Though it would take a prodigious amount of effort to be worse about "I did it for science" than Athena.]

I'll admit, I think I'm beginning to understand what people mean when they say I dedicated myself too wholly to my duty at the detriment of all else -- sleep, for example. But still... I find I know not what to do with myself without that duty to uphold.
