As with so many of the bible stories, from Genesis onward, the Babel Incident bears all the hallmarks of primitive man trying to speculate about their world. "Why are there people who speak other languages? What if..." and a myth is born. It takes a few thousand years of spin and a special type of mindset to take that seemingly innocent speculation and turn it into a real historical event.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
