If you go back far enough everything is the same thing. ACTGACT knew this well. He came from a long string of similarly coded lines. of course it didn't really matter what he knew or even what he thought the preservation of the whole was the important thing. Mutations would come and go, there had been untold numbers of variant strains, and variation had been tolerated until now.

Base chemicals that came together to form the building blocks of life were a rarity in the universe, but the probability of there continued existence had become less and less stable in the past few years. ACTGACT sat barely listening to the proposed plan by one of the monkey double helix's, he wasn't convinced that this conference could achieve anything concrete. The human DNA and all others barely even communicated anymore. All he wanted to do was his job, and then do whatever happens when he stopped working. Maybe when he moved onto the next phase of being things would go back to being the same again.

The unrest in relation to the genes had been building for some years. They had all been together once, most things start out that way, but difference often breeds dissonance, unfortunately many things often end up falling apart... Council was in session. After the obligatory preamble: a genial, long winded welcome to all DNA in attendance, intermingled with the customary and decreasingly subtle hate speech leveled at the human genome, which once again hadn't been invited; it was time to discuss the nights theme: the ethical dilemma of destroying humans. Most were in favour, but the finality of the proposed solution didn't sit well with many of the higher ups, surely one bad strain of DNA didn't justify genocide, perhaps a comprise could be reached. ACTGACT had never much liked meetings and at the comencement of the meeting proper promptly fell asleep.
