... nothing makes sense.
Sometimes you just have to take charge and make your own sense.
Regards,
Thalp
*jumps* Thalp?? Do you... What do you know?
So many things, so many things...
Like a2 + b2 = something meaningful if you understand geometry.
And that everything will come to you in time if you have a very large magnet.

a2+b2=2(a+b)
to me
You're on Anon, who tf is "Me"
She’s an immortal human.
Can't believe I have to make this PSA but...
DO NOT SHOOT US WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED.
It doesn't work! Just... trust me on that. You can close your eyes all you want, just don't shoot us while doing so.
Wouldn’t you not want to tell people that if it were true?
Exactly. If it were true, we'd be keeping it a secret!
So we should shoot you with our eyes closed next time?
No. That's a terrible idea! For you.
That’s sounds slightly threatening.
I’ll just close my eyes next time then.
Just closing your eyes is most advised. =)
And shoot you. I’m not stupid, I do in fact know how you move.
Lost your nose then?
Ouch. Rude. It wouldn't even work.
Yes, my nose IS gone. Gone to sniff you out, Silurian.
=-)
So why tell people not to close there eyes?
They might find it useful?
Suppose, but wouldn’t it be beneficial for you if they blinked?
Depends on how one feeds.
You don’t all do it in the same way?
Do you all hide underground and lick the air from time to time?
No I don’t live underground, I only work there.
The question was rhetorical, though the point seems to have been made.
No, we don't all feed the same way.
Wait so… hold on let me get my pen. How do you all feed then? Are there many different ways?
Is it not obvious? Energy. The only difference is that the energy of Potential is unmatched in strength.
Yes but how? I get that you can send them back in time, very inconvenient by the way, but how do you actually do it?
Potential Energy? The two most popular ways are the most documented. Sending a subject through time, or killing them.
But how do you get the energy from sending them few time or killing them? How does it actually work?
This... This is basic Timeline knowledge. It's actually basic logic. Common sense, if you will.
Everyone has a potential future ahead of them. When this future cannot be fulfilled, we feast on the energy created by its loss and change.
I wasn’t born yesterday, I understand how potentially energy works. It’s how you manage to get it out of your victims that I don’t understand.
Think of it like spilling blood. We don't pull the energy out of the victim. It simply leaks, and we feast through being in proximity.
That’s more simple that I was expecting.
What WERE you expecting?
I am not completely sure, but I assumed some sort of technology would be needed to extract the energy.
Technology? Have you ever known my sisters to heavily rely on technology?
We've always been a simple species, friends.
Until a year ago, I haven’t known your sisters. And even now I don’t primarily work with any.
You... didn't know about our existence until a year ago?
I was aware of you, I had just never met you or any of your sisters.
Ah.
Who'd you meet?
Well I’ve spoken to you and there’s been a few I’ve kinda met through work. But like I didn’t actually speek to any.
Just stare them in the eyes and you'll be talking real soon.
=-)
Luckily my training told me exactly why not to do that.
=-(
You get trained against us? What do they tell you?
Not against you, just not to be killed by you.
That's effectively the same thing for many of my sisters.
Well that’s something that’s there’s no solution to then.
There sort of is a solution, honestly.
Which is?
Provide a source to feed from.
That doesn’t involve ruining peoples lives?
Just pick the people that won't be missed.
The humans seem to have morals that go against that idea.
The humans I met sure didn't have those morals.
Well the ones I work with do.
They do seem to be a soft species, don't they?
As a whole, definitely not, however I seem to be around some of the nicest. I don’t always have to wear a perception filter in the office.
How lucky.
Well, they can have their moments. Some of them.
Your work is purely desk-side, is it?
No but very few things come without paper work.
Ah.
Well, it depends on the kind of life one has.
My sisters and I have NO paperwork to concern ourselves with.
Ok, not many of these human jobs seem to come without paperwork. Especially when there governments come into the equation.
Hmm, that is unfortunate...
Why do these humans put such importance over little bits of paper? It seems to be all they talk about.
Unsure. I do believe that in my instant, it is about avoiding harm to those I work with via making sure they are not placed in anything that would be dangerous.
Personally, I think avoiding harm is best done through action, not word.
Don’t take it up with me, I’m trying to help people, not run whatever this is.
Very well. You make a good point.
Explains why they keep getting invaded, to be fair.
Yes there defence systems do seem to be… well I’m sure they have some somewhere.
Yes. Somewhere.
Not enough, however.
Well that’s obvious, I’d have half the amount of paper work if they had enough.
Just half?
Still, it makes our lives a little easier. Those of us Earth-bound, anyway.
Well it does mean I actually have a job and aren’t just trying to avoid humans.
You could get a job that doesn't involve interacting with humans. Sister Atala has a job maintaining an experimental reactor by herself.
I don’t have to interact with humans that the point. I primarily work with other Silurians as well as some Sea Devils and Zygons. Sure there are some humans I work with, especially those senior to me, but they’re used to being about non humans so they’re normally alright.
How curious.
What DOES your place of employment do, precisely? Feel free to elucidate upon the matter.
There’s a longer explanation of the whole department but I don’t have time for that and don’t work in the complex bit.
I work with UNIT and other relative bodies in order to help relocate Silurians into society, helping them get new lives and stay safe from any humans. I also sometimes work with Sea Devils and the occasional Zygon, but primarily Silurians and mainly in what I believe is called ‘the North’ despite both magnetic and global north being more northern.
Ah. The north of England, I presume.
An interesting location for Silurians to relocate to.
Though, if they can survive humans, they can survive anything, hmm?
You work with UNIT? How fascinating... We don't hear from them too often, in truth.
It’s not even that North, I was in Manchester yesterday and that in the middle of the country. York is slightly north but not that north.
It’s just where my work it, but the city is lovely. Shame it has to be under a castle.
Castles can be lovely places to lurk in. They're very pretty, especially when they're old.
But under it? It just means we have terrible ventilation.
Install. Fans. Yourself.
We. Have. Well the humans have, I still don’t fully get them.
Get the humans? Me neither, in truth.
I meant there technology, but the humans as well.
Do you find it too primitive or too advanced?
Primitive, but I was never that good with Silurian technology any way.
Ah. That would do it. So surely human technology ought to suit you quite well, all things considered?
If it made sense it would. We got a delivery last week of something from France (still not fully sure what it is) and we had to send one of the humans to the shops because it’s plug wasn’t compatible with the ones in the office. It just seems so impractical.
Ah yes. The classic "Human Electric Plug Incompatibility" problem. Don't worry, they sort that one out eventually.
Well that’s a relief. It’s so inefficient.
I can't imagine.
Having to use a plug, that is.
It’s not they exiting, you are really not missing much.
Could say that about most Human culture.
Yes you could. But there sporting on the fourth channel at the moment is rather good.
The sporting? Is this the event that occurs once every four orbits?
Yes, they seem to not have any for four orbits, but then have two in one summer. The second is much more interesting to watch.
Which one is the second?
I believe it’s either called the Parralelolympics or parolympics.
Oh, that one. I personally never understood the need for two separate events. Humans are humans.
Perhaps it is due to lack of room. Or there being two many events so they must split it up in order to manage it.
Experience teaches us that humanity doesn't often have an issue with numbers. Their issue is most likely nothing so administrative. Probably more surface-level.
So by the versions of the sport maybe.
So... surface level problems?
What do you mean?
They could just all compete together.
Yes, but then we would see less people competing.
Well if there’s only 20 people per sport, but there is normally 2 groups but this time there is one, then instead of getting to see 40, you are seeing 20.
Put 40 people per sport in?
Yes that would solve that problem.
Can't believe I have to make this PSA but...
DO NOT SHOOT US WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED.
It doesn't work! Just... trust me on that. You can close your eyes all you want, just don't shoot us while doing so.

Your work is purely desk-side, is it?
No but very few things come without paper work.
Ah.
Well, it depends on the kind of life one has.
My sisters and I have NO paperwork to concern ourselves with.
Ok, not many of these human jobs seem to come without paperwork. Especially when there governments come into the equation.
Hmm, that is unfortunate...
Why do these humans put such importance over little bits of paper? It seems to be all they talk about.
Unsure. I do believe that in my instant, it is about avoiding harm to those I work with via making sure they are not placed in anything that would be dangerous.
Personally, I think avoiding harm is best done through action, not word.
Don’t take it up with me, I’m trying to help people, not run whatever this is.
Very well. You make a good point.
Explains why they keep getting invaded, to be fair.
Yes there defence systems do seem to be… well I’m sure they have some somewhere.
Yes. Somewhere.
Not enough, however.
Well that’s obvious, I’d have half the amount of paper work if they had enough.
Just half?
Still, it makes our lives a little easier. Those of us Earth-bound, anyway.
Well it does mean I actually have a job and aren’t just trying to avoid humans.
You could get a job that doesn't involve interacting with humans. Sister Atala has a job maintaining an experimental reactor by herself.
I don’t have to interact with humans that the point. I primarily work with other Silurians as well as some Sea Devils and Zygons. Sure there are some humans I work with, especially those senior to me, but they’re used to being about non humans so they’re normally alright.
How curious.
What DOES your place of employment do, precisely? Feel free to elucidate upon the matter.
There’s a longer explanation of the whole department but I don’t have time for that and don’t work in the complex bit.
I work with UNIT and other relative bodies in order to help relocate Silurians into society, helping them get new lives and stay safe from any humans. I also sometimes work with Sea Devils and the occasional Zygon, but primarily Silurians and mainly in what I believe is called ‘the North’ despite both magnetic and global north being more northern.
Ah. The north of England, I presume.
An interesting location for Silurians to relocate to.
Though, if they can survive humans, they can survive anything, hmm?
You work with UNIT? How fascinating... We don't hear from them too often, in truth.
It’s not even that North, I was in Manchester yesterday and that in the middle of the country. York is slightly north but not that north.
It’s just where my work it, but the city is lovely. Shame it has to be under a castle.
Castles can be lovely places to lurk in. They're very pretty, especially when they're old.
But under it? It just means we have terrible ventilation.
Install. Fans. Yourself.
We. Have. Well the humans have, I still don’t fully get them.
Get the humans? Me neither, in truth.
I meant there technology, but the humans as well.
Do you find it too primitive or too advanced?
Primitive, but I was never that good with Silurian technology any way.
Ah. That would do it. So surely human technology ought to suit you quite well, all things considered?
If it made sense it would. We got a delivery last week of something from France (still not fully sure what it is) and we had to send one of the humans to the shops because it’s plug wasn’t compatible with the ones in the office. It just seems so impractical.
Ah yes. The classic "Human Electric Plug Incompatibility" problem. Don't worry, they sort that one out eventually.
Well that’s a relief. It’s so inefficient.
I can't imagine.
Having to use a plug, that is.
It’s not they exiting, you are really not missing much.
Could say that about most Human culture.
Yes you could. But there sporting on the fourth channel at the moment is rather good.
The sporting? Is this the event that occurs once every four orbits?
Yes, they seem to not have any for four orbits, but then have two in one summer. The second is much more interesting to watch.
Which one is the second?
I believe it’s either called the Parralelolympics or parolympics.
Oh, that one. I personally never understood the need for two separate events. Humans are humans.
Perhaps it is due to lack of room. Or there being two many events so they must split it up in order to manage it.
Experience teaches us that humanity doesn't often have an issue with numbers. Their issue is most likely nothing so administrative. Probably more surface-level.
So by the versions of the sport maybe.
So... surface level problems?
What do you mean?
Can't believe I have to make this PSA but...
DO NOT SHOOT US WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED.
It doesn't work! Just... trust me on that. You can close your eyes all you want, just don't shoot us while doing so.
Wouldn’t you not want to tell people that if it were true?
Exactly. If it were true, we'd be keeping it a secret!
So we should shoot you with our eyes closed next time?
No. That's a terrible idea! For you.
That’s sounds slightly threatening.
I’ll just close my eyes next time then.
Just closing your eyes is most advised. =)
And shoot you. I’m not stupid, I do in fact know how you move.
Lost your nose then?
Ouch. Rude. It wouldn't even work.
Yes, my nose IS gone. Gone to sniff you out, Silurian.
=-)
So why tell people not to close there eyes?
They might find it useful?
Suppose, but wouldn’t it be beneficial for you if they blinked?
Depends on how one feeds.
You don’t all do it in the same way?
Do you all hide underground and lick the air from time to time?
No I don’t live underground, I only work there.
The question was rhetorical, though the point seems to have been made.
No, we don't all feed the same way.
Wait so… hold on let me get my pen. How do you all feed then? Are there many different ways?
Is it not obvious? Energy. The only difference is that the energy of Potential is unmatched in strength.
Yes but how? I get that you can send them back in time, very inconvenient by the way, but how do you actually do it?
Potential Energy? The two most popular ways are the most documented. Sending a subject through time, or killing them.
But how do you get the energy from sending them few time or killing them? How does it actually work?
This... This is basic Timeline knowledge. It's actually basic logic. Common sense, if you will.
Everyone has a potential future ahead of them. When this future cannot be fulfilled, we feast on the energy created by its loss and change.
I wasn’t born yesterday, I understand how potentially energy works. It’s how you manage to get it out of your victims that I don’t understand.
Think of it like spilling blood. We don't pull the energy out of the victim. It simply leaks, and we feast through being in proximity.
That’s more simple that I was expecting.
What WERE you expecting?
I am not completely sure, but I assumed some sort of technology would be needed to extract the energy.
Technology? Have you ever known my sisters to heavily rely on technology?
We've always been a simple species, friends.
Until a year ago, I haven’t known your sisters. And even now I don’t primarily work with any.
You... didn't know about our existence until a year ago?
I was aware of you, I had just never met you or any of your sisters.
Ah.
Who'd you meet?
Well I’ve spoken to you and there’s been a few I’ve kinda met through work. But like I didn’t actually speek to any.
Just stare them in the eyes and you'll be talking real soon.
=-)
Luckily my training told me exactly why not to do that.
=-(
You get trained against us? What do they tell you?
Not against you, just not to be killed by you.
That's effectively the same thing for many of my sisters.
Well that’s something that’s there’s no solution to then.
There sort of is a solution, honestly.
Which is?
Provide a source to feed from.
That doesn’t involve ruining peoples lives?
Just pick the people that won't be missed.
The humans seem to have morals that go against that idea.
The humans I met sure didn't have those morals.
Well the ones I work with do.
They do seem to be a soft species, don't they?
As a whole, definitely not, however I seem to be around some of the nicest. I don’t always have to wear a perception filter in the office.
How lucky.
Well, they can have their moments. Some of them.
Your work is purely desk-side, is it?
No but very few things come without paper work.

That’s more simple that I was expecting.
What WERE you expecting?
I am not completely sure, but I assumed some sort of technology would be needed to extract the energy.
Technology? Have you ever known my sisters to heavily rely on technology?
We've always been a simple species, friends.
Until a year ago, I haven’t known your sisters. And even now I don’t primarily work with any.
You... didn't know about our existence until a year ago?
I was aware of you, I had just never met you or any of your sisters.
Ah.
Who'd you meet?
Well I’ve spoken to you and there’s been a few I’ve kinda met through work. But like I didn’t actually speek to any.
Just stare them in the eyes and you'll be talking real soon.
=-)
Luckily my training told me exactly why not to do that.
=-(
You get trained against us? What do they tell you?
Not against you, just not to be killed by you.
That's effectively the same thing for many of my sisters.
Well that’s something that’s there’s no solution to then.
There sort of is a solution, honestly.
Which is?
Provide a source to feed from.
That doesn’t involve ruining peoples lives?
Just pick the people that won't be missed.
The humans seem to have morals that go against that idea.
The humans I met sure didn't have those morals.
Well the ones I work with do.
They do seem to be a soft species, don't they?
As a whole, definitely not, however I seem to be around some of the nicest. I don’t always have to wear a perception filter in the office.
How lucky.
Well, they can have their moments. Some of them.
Your work is purely desk-side, is it?
No but very few things come without paper work.
Ah.
Well, it depends on the kind of life one has.
My sisters and I have NO paperwork to concern ourselves with.
Ok, not many of these human jobs seem to come without paperwork. Especially when there governments come into the equation.
Hmm, that is unfortunate...
Why do these humans put such importance over little bits of paper? It seems to be all they talk about.
Unsure. I do believe that in my instant, it is about avoiding harm to those I work with via making sure they are not placed in anything that would be dangerous.
Personally, I think avoiding harm is best done through action, not word.
Don’t take it up with me, I’m trying to help people, not run whatever this is.
Very well. You make a good point.
Explains why they keep getting invaded, to be fair.
Yes there defence systems do seem to be… well I’m sure they have some somewhere.
Yes. Somewhere.
Not enough, however.
Well that’s obvious, I’d have half the amount of paper work if they had enough.
Just half?
Still, it makes our lives a little easier. Those of us Earth-bound, anyway.
Well it does mean I actually have a job and aren’t just trying to avoid humans.
You could get a job that doesn't involve interacting with humans. Sister Atala has a job maintaining an experimental reactor by herself.
I don’t have to interact with humans that the point. I primarily work with other Silurians as well as some Sea Devils and Zygons. Sure there are some humans I work with, especially those senior to me, but they’re used to being about non humans so they’re normally alright.
How curious.
What DOES your place of employment do, precisely? Feel free to elucidate upon the matter.
There’s a longer explanation of the whole department but I don’t have time for that and don’t work in the complex bit.
I work with UNIT and other relative bodies in order to help relocate Silurians into society, helping them get new lives and stay safe from any humans. I also sometimes work with Sea Devils and the occasional Zygon, but primarily Silurians and mainly in what I believe is called ‘the North’ despite both magnetic and global north being more northern.
Ah. The north of England, I presume.
An interesting location for Silurians to relocate to.
Though, if they can survive humans, they can survive anything, hmm?
You work with UNIT? How fascinating... We don't hear from them too often, in truth.
It’s not even that North, I was in Manchester yesterday and that in the middle of the country. York is slightly north but not that north.
It’s just where my work it, but the city is lovely. Shame it has to be under a castle.
Castles can be lovely places to lurk in. They're very pretty, especially when they're old.
But under it? It just means we have terrible ventilation.
Install. Fans. Yourself.
We. Have. Well the humans have, I still don’t fully get them.
Get the humans? Me neither, in truth.
I meant there technology, but the humans as well.
Do you find it too primitive or too advanced?
Primitive, but I was never that good with Silurian technology any way.
Ah. That would do it. So surely human technology ought to suit you quite well, all things considered?
If it made sense it would. We got a delivery last week of something from France (still not fully sure what it is) and we had to send one of the humans to the shops because it’s plug wasn’t compatible with the ones in the office. It just seems so impractical.
Ah yes. The classic "Human Electric Plug Incompatibility" problem. Don't worry, they sort that one out eventually.
Well that’s a relief. It’s so inefficient.
I can't imagine.
Having to use a plug, that is.
It’s not they exiting, you are really not missing much.
Could say that about most Human culture.
Yes you could. But there sporting on the fourth channel at the moment is rather good.
The sporting? Is this the event that occurs once every four orbits?
Yes, they seem to not have any for four orbits, but then have two in one summer. The second is much more interesting to watch.
Can't believe I have to make this PSA but...
DO NOT SHOOT US WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED.
It doesn't work! Just... trust me on that. You can close your eyes all you want, just don't shoot us while doing so.
Wouldn’t you not want to tell people that if it were true?
Exactly. If it were true, we'd be keeping it a secret!
So we should shoot you with our eyes closed next time?
No. That's a terrible idea! For you.
That’s sounds slightly threatening.
I’ll just close my eyes next time then.
Just closing your eyes is most advised. =)
And shoot you. I’m not stupid, I do in fact know how you move.
Lost your nose then?
Ouch. Rude. It wouldn't even work.
Yes, my nose IS gone. Gone to sniff you out, Silurian.
=-)
So why tell people not to close there eyes?
They might find it useful?
Suppose, but wouldn’t it be beneficial for you if they blinked?
Depends on how one feeds.
You don’t all do it in the same way?
Do you all hide underground and lick the air from time to time?
No I don’t live underground, I only work there.
The question was rhetorical, though the point seems to have been made.
No, we don't all feed the same way.
Wait so… hold on let me get my pen. How do you all feed then? Are there many different ways?
Is it not obvious? Energy. The only difference is that the energy of Potential is unmatched in strength.
Yes but how? I get that you can send them back in time, very inconvenient by the way, but how do you actually do it?
Potential Energy? The two most popular ways are the most documented. Sending a subject through time, or killing them.
But how do you get the energy from sending them few time or killing them? How does it actually work?
This... This is basic Timeline knowledge. It's actually basic logic. Common sense, if you will.
Everyone has a potential future ahead of them. When this future cannot be fulfilled, we feast on the energy created by its loss and change.
I wasn’t born yesterday, I understand how potentially energy works. It’s how you manage to get it out of your victims that I don’t understand.
Think of it like spilling blood. We don't pull the energy out of the victim. It simply leaks, and we feast through being in proximity.

You... didn't know about our existence until a year ago?
I was aware of you, I had just never met you or any of your sisters.
Ah.
Who'd you meet?
Well I’ve spoken to you and there’s been a few I’ve kinda met through work. But like I didn’t actually speek to any.
Just stare them in the eyes and you'll be talking real soon.
=-)
Luckily my training told me exactly why not to do that.
=-(
You get trained against us? What do they tell you?
Not against you, just not to be killed by you.
That's effectively the same thing for many of my sisters.
Well that’s something that’s there’s no solution to then.
There sort of is a solution, honestly.
Which is?
Provide a source to feed from.
That doesn’t involve ruining peoples lives?
Just pick the people that won't be missed.
The humans seem to have morals that go against that idea.
The humans I met sure didn't have those morals.
Well the ones I work with do.
They do seem to be a soft species, don't they?
As a whole, definitely not, however I seem to be around some of the nicest. I don’t always have to wear a perception filter in the office.
How lucky.
Well, they can have their moments. Some of them.
Your work is purely desk-side, is it?
No but very few things come without paper work.
Ah.
Well, it depends on the kind of life one has.
My sisters and I have NO paperwork to concern ourselves with.
Ok, not many of these human jobs seem to come without paperwork. Especially when there governments come into the equation.
Hmm, that is unfortunate...
Why do these humans put such importance over little bits of paper? It seems to be all they talk about.
Unsure. I do believe that in my instant, it is about avoiding harm to those I work with via making sure they are not placed in anything that would be dangerous.
Personally, I think avoiding harm is best done through action, not word.
Don’t take it up with me, I’m trying to help people, not run whatever this is.
Very well. You make a good point.
Explains why they keep getting invaded, to be fair.
Yes there defence systems do seem to be… well I’m sure they have some somewhere.
Yes. Somewhere.
Not enough, however.
Well that’s obvious, I’d have half the amount of paper work if they had enough.
Just half?
Still, it makes our lives a little easier. Those of us Earth-bound, anyway.
Well it does mean I actually have a job and aren’t just trying to avoid humans.
You could get a job that doesn't involve interacting with humans. Sister Atala has a job maintaining an experimental reactor by herself.
I don’t have to interact with humans that the point. I primarily work with other Silurians as well as some Sea Devils and Zygons. Sure there are some humans I work with, especially those senior to me, but they’re used to being about non humans so they’re normally alright.
How curious.
What DOES your place of employment do, precisely? Feel free to elucidate upon the matter.
There’s a longer explanation of the whole department but I don’t have time for that and don’t work in the complex bit.
I work with UNIT and other relative bodies in order to help relocate Silurians into society, helping them get new lives and stay safe from any humans. I also sometimes work with Sea Devils and the occasional Zygon, but primarily Silurians and mainly in what I believe is called ‘the North’ despite both magnetic and global north being more northern.
Ah. The north of England, I presume.
An interesting location for Silurians to relocate to.
Though, if they can survive humans, they can survive anything, hmm?
You work with UNIT? How fascinating... We don't hear from them too often, in truth.
It’s not even that North, I was in Manchester yesterday and that in the middle of the country. York is slightly north but not that north.
It’s just where my work it, but the city is lovely. Shame it has to be under a castle.
Castles can be lovely places to lurk in. They're very pretty, especially when they're old.
But under it? It just means we have terrible ventilation.
Install. Fans. Yourself.
We. Have. Well the humans have, I still don’t fully get them.
Get the humans? Me neither, in truth.
I meant there technology, but the humans as well.
Do you find it too primitive or too advanced?
Primitive, but I was never that good with Silurian technology any way.
Ah. That would do it. So surely human technology ought to suit you quite well, all things considered?
If it made sense it would. We got a delivery last week of something from France (still not fully sure what it is) and we had to send one of the humans to the shops because it’s plug wasn’t compatible with the ones in the office. It just seems so impractical.
Can't believe I have to make this PSA but...
DO NOT SHOOT US WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED.
It doesn't work! Just... trust me on that. You can close your eyes all you want, just don't shoot us while doing so.
Wouldn’t you not want to tell people that if it were true?
Exactly. If it were true, we'd be keeping it a secret!
So we should shoot you with our eyes closed next time?
No. That's a terrible idea! For you.
That’s sounds slightly threatening.
I’ll just close my eyes next time then.
Just closing your eyes is most advised. =)
And shoot you. I’m not stupid, I do in fact know how you move.
Lost your nose then?
Ouch. Rude. It wouldn't even work.
Yes, my nose IS gone. Gone to sniff you out, Silurian.
=-)
So why tell people not to close there eyes?
They might find it useful?
Suppose, but wouldn’t it be beneficial for you if they blinked?
Depends on how one feeds.
You don’t all do it in the same way?
Do you all hide underground and lick the air from time to time?
No I don’t live underground, I only work there.
The question was rhetorical, though the point seems to have been made.
No, we don't all feed the same way.
Wait so… hold on let me get my pen. How do you all feed then? Are there many different ways?
Is it not obvious? Energy. The only difference is that the energy of Potential is unmatched in strength.
Yes but how? I get that you can send them back in time, very inconvenient by the way, but how do you actually do it?
Potential Energy? The two most popular ways are the most documented. Sending a subject through time, or killing them.
But how do you get the energy from sending them few time or killing them? How does it actually work?
This... This is basic Timeline knowledge. It's actually basic logic. Common sense, if you will.
Everyone has a potential future ahead of them. When this future cannot be fulfilled, we feast on the energy created by its loss and change.
I wasn’t born yesterday, I understand how potentially energy works. It’s how you manage to get it out of your victims that I don’t understand.
Think of it like spilling blood. We don't pull the energy out of the victim. It simply leaks, and we feast through being in proximity.
That’s more simple that I was expecting.
What WERE you expecting?
I am not completely sure, but I assumed some sort of technology would be needed to extract the energy.
Technology? Have you ever known my sisters to heavily rely on technology?
We've always been a simple species, friends.
Until a year ago, I haven’t known your sisters. And even now I don’t primarily work with any.
You... didn't know about our existence until a year ago?
