If the SI have a soft spot for their primitive ancestors and are nice enough
to let us live, it will probably be in virtual reality. They won't want us using
up a lot of resources in the "real" world and they would probably be a bit
squeamish about letting us fool around at that level of reality, like letting a
monkey run around in an operating room. They'll want a firewall to protect
themselves from our stupidity.
