Reply to comment by gacusana in [WP] You are an AI that serves as the navigation system of an interdimensional warship. You are heavily damaged and crash on a world with primitive inhabitants. You spend ages advancing them so they can repair you. When they fix your sensors, you find that the war ended in extinction of both sides. by lordhelmos
Why do I get Douglas Adams vibes here?

Serious Adams vibes. Not a bad thing.

Definitely intentional!

Started thinking this same thing a paragraph in.
But you can have too much Douglas Adams unless you actually are Douglas Adams. This is not too much. A full scoop, not heaping, just about right for most cases.

I was thinking the same thing. Some people can overdo it but this was in the Goldilocks zone.

Thank you. It definitely felt Adams-ish to write and I was afraid that it would end up too similar to his voice while simultaneously praying that someone would make that comparison
