"Let me get this straight. Your lab has bred a dragon?"
"A wyvern, director. It has two legs, two wings, whereas a-"
"Which flies, breathes fire, and is intelligent?"
"About as intelligent as a border collie."
"So, intelligent. Why?"
"You asked us to invent measures to take down small drones."
And so it began.
But honestly: I rather die in armor and honor while fighting wyverns and dragons, than being put down by an AI controlled drone.
Choose your doom!
I choose dragons ( and relatives).
@MicroSFF Oh how I wish for such a development 😄
@MicroSFF do you mind if I draw a picture?
@MicroSFF Why can't MY subordinates breed dragons?
... Oh. Right. I don't have any.
@MicroSFF Reminds me I wanted to (re)read dragonriders of pern in its entirety.
@MicroSFF Sounds feasible to me. 🤔
@MicroSFF
Number 1 : I love this idea ❣️😻
Number 2 : That would be a lovely future indeed ❣️
Number 3 : (which I could prioritize as no.1😹)
WHEN THIS BECOMES A THING SIGN ME UP AS A LAB ASSISTANT ❣️❣️❣️😻
I would even be happy to be “handler/caretaker” just to be with them 😻❣️❣️❣️😹
@MicroSFF @briankrebs This is the future I'm looking for.
@Em0nM4stodon @MicroSFF @briankrebs i mean, training big birds to collect drones has been a thing for a while
Not as sexy as dragons but they do this already with raptors :)
...okay, I have to admit that I took an instant dislike to the unnamed creators for using silly dragon/wyvern definitions.
@juergen_hubert @MicroSFF
But... Tradition! And Heraldry!
This is a hill I choose to die upon! I shall defend the distinction between Dragons, Wyverns, and Wyrms!
@MicroSFF
I wish I'd written that!! It is perfect in every way!
@MicroSFF this is a system for national defense that I could really get behind!
