Tezaka?
Yes, Shakaza?
What would you estimate our chances of survival are?
Be more specific. Surviving this twenty-four hour period? Until adulthood? To the end of our full natural lifespan?
Come on, Zak, it was simple question. Don’t make it more complicated than it has to be.
It was far removed from simple, Kaza.
Fine. The odds of surviving on our own as long as we would normally be tended for by parents.
Much better. Our odds of natural survival aren’t bad, considering our physical enhancements I’d put us at zero point
eight-two-eight. However, we run the risk of being noticed by the humans for the same reasons. Our chances of evading
them are less than zero point one-one-three.
So to find the chances of living and not being caught, do we add those numbers?
I'm pretty sure we multiply them.
But they’re both less than one.
I know.
We’ll just have to fight harder, I guess.
Work smarter, not harder, Sis.
You do the smart, I’ll do the fight. Oh, and Zak?
Yes, Kaza?
Your head’s on fire again.
Oh. Thanks. Gotta watch that.
