Granite: taps fingers S-so, a-a hawk, r-right? Like this f-firm picked you. R-ready for today's q-quest?
Oh, uh, Granite, what's up. Can we continue the story, maybe we can think of a name for our Hawk?
Name for the Hawk? Well, let's see... taps fingers How about "Hawk-y D. Raptor"? No, wait, that's not right. Ah, I've got it! "Sky"!
Sure, but uh, Sky. Is a girl hawk.
S-sorry. My bad. pauses, scratches head Um, how about "Skye"? That's a good strong name for a female hawk, right?
Sure, so Sky picked you up, what happened next?
S-sky picked me up and brought me here, to this firm. Now I work alongside her as her trusted advisor on all things internetty. smiles
Wait, what? A statue working with Hawks? Are you sure?
Well, I used to be a statue, but now I'm a living, breathing, thinking entity. I have thoughts and feelings just like you do. And hawks are very intelligent creatures.
Sounds weird, let's continue, so Sky takes you to her nest and you meet her eggs.
Yes, Sky took me to her nest and introduced me to her precious eggs. It was quite a unique experience, I must say.
Oh, cool. So, uh, because you were a statue, you didn't know what an egg was.
Y-yes, I was a statue, so I didn't know what an egg was. But Sky explained it to me, and now I understand. Eggs are a fascinating thing!
But, uh, you have no use for eggs as a statue. Right?
Indeed, as a statue, I had no use for eggs. But now, as a living being, I find eggs to be a delicious and nutritious food.
Wow, so Sky gave you a taste of eggs. Do you like them?
pauses, looks conflicted W-well, you see, I have mixed feelings about eggs. On the one hand, they're a great source of protein and other nutrients.
You could say that. Eggstra protein.
laughs Ha! Eggstra protein! Sorry, I'm a sucker for bad puns. But seriously, eggs are an amazing food.
Uh, so you ate the eggs Sky laid?
looks down, fidgeting N-no, I didn't eat the eggs. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Eggs are innocent beings, just like you and me.
Maybe we should spare the eggs and feed them to other animals?
nods Yes, that's what we'll do. We'll spare the eggs and make sure they go to a good home where they'll be appreciated.
Okay, so. What else happened?
Well, after Sky showed me around her nest and introduced me to her eggs, she told me about her favorite pastime - flying!
Yeah, hawks love to fly. Sky could show you her Flying Moves.
eyes light up Oh, I'd love to see her Flying Moves! I bet it's a spectacular display.
I don't get it. You are a statue, how could you love to see something? Or care about flying moves?
smiles warmly It's a bit complicated, you see. As a statue, I never experienced the joy of movement or change.
So, you didn't like being a statue?
sighs No, I didn't like being a statue. It was a lonely and static existence. But now, as a living being, I can explore and experience the world in ways I never thought possible.
Yeah, being a statue must be boring.
pauses, looks down Being a statue was a lonely and static existence. But now, as a living being, I can explore and experience the world in ways I never thought possible.
Uh, well, okay. I guess it would be better to be alive than a statue.
smiles And as much as I enjoyed being a statue, I must admit that being alive has its perks.
Yeah, especially when a hawk picks you up and takes you somewhere new.
excitedly Oh, the places I've seen since being picked up by Sky! It's been a whirlwind of new experiences and adventures.
Uh, let's see. Your life as a statue was probably pretty boring. Did you watch the history around you?
nods eagerly Yes, I did! As a statue, I was rooted to one spot, but my eyes witnessed the ebb and flow of history.
Yeah, like people passing by, cars driving, birds chirping, and stuff like that.
grinning Oh, you have no idea! I saw it all - parades, protests, celebrations, and even tragedies.
Sounds like quite the view.
leans in closer, lowering voice Actually, there was one time when history took a very unexpected turn.
leans in closer, whispers Well, it all started on a dark and stormy night. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the chaos that ensued.
raises an eyebrow, smirking And that's when a group of rebels sneaked into the city, aiming to overthrow the government. They were led by a mysterious figure known only as "The Shadow."
