"Natural enhancements? Well, lots of people complain about the way their body was changed on the bulletin board. That's a board that's in the Sun Room, the room that we pass through to get into the cafeteria. The board is on the wall, and all sorts of communication is posted on it." Xelloss answered completely helpfully, before adding, "I don't think anyone's really found a way to reverse the changes! Non-human living beings and robots and gods and others have all complained, but all of them seem to still be human, at least on the surface."

The fact that Xelloss was really in the same boat didn't change his humor about the subject. After all, he wasn't the first Mazoku to be cursed by being placed in a human body, although the method here was rather unusual. Curses like that were hard to create and also hard to break, but considering the variety of people here, he was confident that it could be done. The idea that it was obviously magic was as driven into his head as Brainiac 5's own conviction that it had to be science.

"I don't think it's really necessary to have remorse just about an idea, do you? Besides, if something can't be helped, becoming upset about it won't make the situation better. Instead, we should consider who we are and what we can personally do, and then do our best! That way, there's no need for regret or remorse, even if things don't turn out well." Which all sounded very nice, apart from the fact that Xelloss was a being dedicated to the end of all life and a return to the Sea of Chaos. But he was quite sincere about doing his best. "And I did agree to ask at night in case something isn't human but is friendly. So really, we're talking about fewer potential deaths, aren't we?"
