Off-Planet transmission 004: meterology_obsequies_pioneers

004: meteorology_obsequies_pioneers   The usual combative nature of previous sessions was absent today, our subjects were instead unified in annoyance by a common foe: it transpires that the unwelcome guest we initially viewed as a threat and sought to exterminate, has proven itself to be an impactful uncontrolled variable. I suggest we allow this relationship to organically develop for now, I’ll decide its fate at a later date.    Further to this: is the weather system they claim their unofficial crewmate has generated genuine, or is it merely a manifestation of their craving for contrasting climes?    B attempted to gamify the meeting with an ad-hoc quiz before recalling past soirees: we are wading deep in nostalgic waters now, both parties pining for less tumultuous times. The ratio of true to false memories isn’t overly troubling at this stage, lets monitor with reservation to expedite the Memory Augmentation process where required.    The extended discussion around how they dispose of their fallen was fascinating, while the cannibalistic undertones were certainly unexpected.   Our inhabitants chose to close the session by fantasising about the colonisation of another world, displaying the typically entitled arrogance mankind has used to excuse the abuse suffered by planets under their custodianship. The persistent disregard for their destructive behaviour makes me doubt our long-term relocation strategy, and if the preservation of their species truly is as essential as we’ve been led to believe.   It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the impressive amount of work they have put into developing the pod, how they were able to achieve expansion to this extent is beyond me. It will be interesting to see if their precarious craftsmanship can withstand the oppressive external forces, as it certainly appears their minds are beginning to buckle under the internal pressure.   Signed,   An Observer     Intermission: Seed by Fogg & Lamb
