Rui nodded thoughtfully. "We're trying to capture a gargantian specimen that we have run into."
Those words clearly agitated the laminar integument. "Run. Into. Gargantian. Specimen?"
"Yep, it appears that the gargantians have recently put an outpost in this star strand," Rui remarked. "We know it must be recent because light from the planet has not yet reached our solar system, which means that it must have occurred within the past twenty or so years."
The laminar integument processed those words deeply as the network of light flashing through its transparent laminar body grew more intense. "Troubling. Discovery. Must. Report. Back. To Laminar. Council."
Its attention returned towards Rui. "Why. Capture. Specimen? Exotic. Resources?"
"Not just that," Rui replied thoughtfully. "We are trying to recreate the planetary reproduction method that the conscious planet has used."
This clearly impacted the laminar integument. "Recreate. Reproduction. Method?"
