A large, immortal turtle drifts lazily between the orbits of various celestial bodies. The turtle has this remarkable ability to foresee its own trajectory for lightyears beyond its current position, and if anything ahead were to present a threat to the turtle -- say, a collision course with a black hole -- it would simply engage a small device in its back to give it a tiny nudge every few months.
The turtle is utterly amazing -- not for its seemingly effortless ability to live within a vacuum unprotected -- but for its patience and mastery of its own fate.

Ah, now THAT is an interesting question. Yes The turtle was me all along. I am the narrator. I just love listening to the sound of my own voice. You are right to wonder though... The truth is -- your friend just pushed you out here, and this is all part of a fun, safe, game.

I think they call it murder... or something along those lines. I'm hazy on exact human terminology. You see - I am a turtle.
So, what's your name anyway?
