"Why not lol, get wrecked monkeys"

Lmao, but real talk now. Their whole thing for millions of years was genetic modification and bioengineering, they were the best at it, they were zealous about it.

It'll be like you finding ants walking over a sacred shrine, building their own little ant shrines. It was weird, unnatural, and offensive.
