Humanity was broken, yet the essence of the Hive remained. Still, they persisted as like sought like. And when the people of Shinar found others of their odd language, then gathered unto themselves.
Now, they would have to toil to connect to the endless languages abound. Victory came swift following the fall of the Tower, but it would not last. The ego of humanity, and their bizarre consistent perseverance, would see to that fact.
Fate is What You Make
A malicious harmony can exist within our reality. We have free will in what we do, but not in the consequences our actions cause. For, if we have free will, so does everything else.
Similar to our natural laws, what we choose to do to one thing may cause an equal or greater reaction upon ourselves.
Those of the Shinar, despite their intelligence, failed to acknowledge the risk inherent in their initial challenge. The result was their destruction given Shinar's lack of preparation. The impact was malicious at the onset, but may be harmonious for the people in the long run.
And so it comes to pass that the hive-mind continues to grow despite the acts of those from above. We continue to grow and thrive.

Due to the number of article submissions we receive, the complexity of the grading, and the data analysis that follows, we will no longer accept entries after midnight of the contest window. I sincerely apologies for the inconvenience this causes.
After serious consideration, we will continue to grade on an author's article engagement. In time, we will expand this grading to include cross-posts within the contest window. I understand that it may be unfair considering when someone gets a contest entry submitted, but we're working to expand out capabilities.
