If I had that power I’d use it on myself every night. It really sucks spending over an hour every night trying to get to sleep, what a huge amount of time per day wasted.

If I had that power I would use it all the time.

Hah! You just named it that to show off your fancy letter s! “Suſſa”.

Hmm, the Miesti are really pushing their luck on people’s responses here. Sending people to sleep because you don’t like them listening to your conversations isn’t something that most people I know would regard as acceptable behaviour.

Hm? If they can get to Patty, that is. I was first thinking maybe it was the engineer Nelson, who was said to be heading straight into the Miesti/Rautani camp. I could have seen him as trying to reason with the Miesti, if he could. Maybe he couldn’t ‘perceive’ their communications like Aria, though, or at least didn’t show that he could. He may or may not have survived the trenat, though, if he was stung. I suppose in time we may find out what happened to him.

Well, considering one is where they can be reasoned with, and the other is where they can’t be…? That’s pretty much the extent of dealing with Starfish Aliens I would assume. Sure, there can be nuances within each possibility, but there’s still the polarity around whether or not they can be reasoned with, which would determine whether humans and they can exist in the same universe peacefully.

It always has to be one extreme or another? Can’t there be some middle ground or disparate groups of thought?

That’s what I get for doing my musing at o-dark thirty in the morning.

Well, here’s your behind-the-scenes-trivia for the day: the third Miesti, the one with the oval-ish spots, is named Sussa. I’d written dialogue for this scene where Sussa was named, but it got cut somewhere along the line.
