Dolphins are likely the next intelligent species (possibly the first) on the planet, and likely we haven't begun to understand just how smart they are. What happens if and when we break the communication barrier between humans and dolphins....
1. Do we gain intelligent insight from them that we're either lacking or ignoring?
2. Do we, with a different point of view, develop the concept of an "objective observer," and thus fortify the art of science and better learn about the universe we occupy?
3. Do we empathize with intelligent creatures enough to finally stop trapping them in tuna nets?
4. Do we, after sharing a few pints, become incredibly disappointed with the status of intelligent creatures and collectively decide to give up?

5. Do we discover that dolphins are not the ancestors of proto-dogs after all but rather the inheritors of the civilization of Atlantis?
6. Do we try to convert the heathens to Christianity?
7. Do we collectively begin to engage in interspecies marriages and, over the years, begin to produce a super-species (the huphins)?
8. Rather, two super-species, the huphins and the dolmans. (Not to be confused with the doll-mans, an order of killer man-shaped robots used to fight the huphins/dolman civil war).
The doll-mans were scary as shit in Akira. Let's hope they never come back.
I, for one, welcome our superior sea-faring brethren, whether they come in huphin or dolman form.
