  2. THIS ONE DRIFTS ALONGSIDE THE VERTEBRATE PLANET ONCE MORE
    THE GATHERING HAS ENDED
    YET VOICES STILL ECHO THROUGH THE VOID
    THIS ONE IS PLEASED

  4. AH!
    I HAVE FOUND YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN.
    I AM AFRAID THAT I,
    PITIFUL NAUTILUS THAT I AM,
    WAS DISTRACTED BY A PARTICULARLY TASTY-LOOKING COMET.
    I FOLLOWED IT FAR INTO SPACE
    AND LOST TRACK OF THE WAY BACK.
    I AM GLAD TO HAVE FOUND IT.
    QUESTION:
    HOW MUCH HAS TRANSPIRED IN MY ABSENCE?
    QUESTION WAS.
    THAT COMET WAS DELICIOUS.

  7. OH GATHERED TENTACLED
    I HAVE FELT EMANATIONS FLAVORED WITH SIGNS OF UNUSUALLY STRONG ACTIVITY
    FLOWING FROM THE SUN IN THIS POOL OF SPACE

  8. AH MY FRIENDS
    FEAST ON THESE ASTEROIDS
    AND THE LEFTOVERS
    FROM A SUPERNOVA
    THAT OCCURRED OVER
    A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
    FROM WHEN
    I WAS TWO
    IN SPACE SQUID YEARS

  9. TANTE HRODOHAIDIS IS WELL KNOWN TO BE
    THE BEST ARRANGER OF EDIBLE MATTER
    IN THE DISK OF THIS GALAXY.
    POSSIBLY THE HALO AS WELL.

  10. OH, CATSQUID
    AWESOME IS THE UNIVERSE
    SO MUCH TO DISCOVER
    QUESTION
    STARDUST TEA ANYONE
    QUESTION WAS

  11. GADZOOKS
    EVEN FOR MY ANCIENT WISDOM I NEVER KNEW
    OUR COUSINS LIVE ON THESE DISTANT SOLAR BODIES
    I AM SORRY
    I NEVER GOT AN “A” IN SCIENCE
    AS A LITTLE GERM CELL

  12. WE HAVE SMALL COUSINS IN THE OCEANS
    OF THE THIRD PLANET
    AND TWO OF THE MOONS

  14. CATSQUID
    MOONCRUSHER HAS INDEED CRUSHED MANY MOONS
    BUT WE HAVE PROMISED
    NOT TO HARM THIS SYSTEM
    THIS TIME

  15. SEE
    AH
    ANOTHER HAS RETURNED

    I WAS MERELY
    BEHIND THIS GAS GIANT

    IT SEEMS
    A TASTY ASTEROID HAVE YOU
    QUESTION
    WHAT ELSE MAY WE FIND

  16. OF COURSE
    NOT TO SOUND CRUEL

    YOU MAY SHARE THIS WANDERING
    SHATTERED ASTEROID WITH ME
    IN CASE HURT ABIDES WITHIN YOU
    FROM MY CALLOUSNESS

  18. FEAST, FRIEND, ON COMETS AND ASTEROIDS AND DUST.
    DRINK THE SOLAR WIND.
    BUT SPARE THE STAR, PLANETS, AND MOONS
    FOR NOW.

  19. AH
    MY ANCIENT BODY HAS GROWN WEARY FOR LATELY
    NO TASTY EXTRATERRESTRIAL BODIES HAVE COME MY WAY FOR NEARLY A DECADE
    MY BODY HUNGERS FOR STARDUST
    BUT HERE IS THE RICHEST STARS
    I HOPE NONE MIND
    IF I STOP FOR A WHILE AND EAT MY FILL
    QUESTION
    DO YOU MIND
    QUESTION WAS

  21. HELLO MY BRETHREN
    I HAVE BEEN WANDERING AMONG THE STARS TOO LONG
    THIS IS THE TIME TO REST
    AND CHAT
    WITH MY FELLOW SPACE CREATURES
    BUT ALAS
    MOST HAVE LEFT TO DRIFT INTO THE ENDLESS SEA
    OF STARS
    HOPEFULLY ONE STILL AWAITS
    THIER RETURN

  22. AGENT SQUIDLING
    YOU HAVE OUR GREETINGS
    QUESTION
    HOW CAME YOU TO OUR MEETING-PLACE
    QUESTION WAS

  23. IT SEEMS I HAVE ARRIVED TOO LATE TO THIS CONVENTION OF MY FELLOW CEPHALOPODS
    BUT WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHEN TIME IS AN ILLUSION?

  25. FOR COUNTLESS EONS HAVE I MEANDERED THROUGH THE HEAVENS
    IT HAS BEEN EXCEEDINGLY PLEASANT
    YET NEVER HAVE I ENCOUNTERED SO MANY OF MY BRETHREN GATHERED IN ONE PLACE
    GREETINGS, COUSINS

  26. I HAVE FOUND A PLACE TO SPEAK
    YOU ARE CEPHALOPOD FELLOWS
    QUESTION
    ANY OCTOPI AMONG US
    OR AM I ALONE
    QUESTION WAS
    I AM OF NEITHER THE SEA
    OR THE STARS
    JUST THE LAKE AND THE CITY ON ITS SHORE

  27. FORMERLY I WENT BY THE NAME
    “SHE WHO BURNS BRIGHTLY”
    THIS NAME WAS AN INCONVENIENCE
    NOW I SHALL BE KNOWN AS SQUIDEH
    QUESTION
    HOW GOES IT IN THE LIFE OF MY FELLOW CEPHS
    QUESTION WAS

  28. RINGS ARE TASTY
    SO DELICATE
    ENGULFING THEM
    ONE’S BUCCAL MEMBRANE
    CAN HARDLY FEEL THEM

  29. INTERFERENCE FEARED
    EASY WHEN SMALL AS THIS
    I HAVE DRIFTED THROUGH THICK DUST
    SWIRLED IN GLOWING GATHERING GASES
    UNTIL IN THIS SPIRAL’S ARM
    FOUND FRIENDS ASSEMBLED
    SO IT CONTINUES
    BUT NIBBLE RINGS MUST FIRST I

  30. SEEKER OF FANTASY
    THIS ONE, TOO, HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS CHELLONI
    IT TOLD ME OF MANY WONDERS, OF GALAXIES AND QUASARS
    THE CHELLONI SEEM TO NOT BE AS NUMEROUS AS OUR CEPHALOPOD BRETHEREN
    IT WAS OF SIMILAR MINDSET; IT DID NOT FEAR THE DARKNESS

    TOGETHER, WE ALL FLOAT SERENELY THROUGH THE WOVEN BEYOND

  31. OH, GOOD
    THIS DESTINATION STILL REMAINS
    I FEARED THAT I HAD LOST THE WAY AGAIN
    AMONG BRIGHTER CONSTELLATIONS
    THIS IS A PEACEFUL, ELEGANT PLACE
    I QUITE ADORE IT.

  32. APOLOGIES FOR MY DELAY
    I TOOK THE WRONG EXIT IN THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY
    BUT IT WAS SURE TASTY

  33. OH NO, I FEAR
    I HAVE BEEN MISDIRECTED HERE
    HAVE I LOST MY WAY AMONG THE STARS?
    OH WELL, HELLO MY FRIENDS
    HOW ARE YOU ALL ON THIS FINE DAY?
    I DO LIKE THIS NEW DESIGN
    I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD LINGER HERE
    A LONGER WHILE
    PERHAPS.

  34. I FEAR MY TALE WILL NO LONGER SEEM AS INTERESTING
    COMPARED TO THE TALES OF THE LITTLE BLUE BOX AND THE WHALE
    IN MY JOURNEYS I CAME ACROSS ONE OF THE WORLD CHELONII
    A TURTLE, WITH MULTIPLE PACHYDERMS UPON ITS BACK
    IT IS RARE TO FIND ONE OF THEIR SPECIES NOWADAYS
    …HE WAS AN EXCELLENT CONVERSATIONALIST

  36. I HAVE TRAVELED
    THE UNIVERSE IS VAST AND YET THE COLD SKIES ARE NOT NEARLY EMPTY
    I HAVE FED ON STARLIGHT AND COURTED THE UNIVERSE
    THE SPHERES PLAY A SYMPHONY

  37. HOW AMAZING, ASTRATEUTHIS

    I SHALL HAVE TO SEEK A WHITE DWARF OUT SOMETIME AND TRY THIS

    HOWEVER FOR NOW, I MUST LEAVE YOU, MY FELLOW CEPHALOPODS

    PERHAPS WE SHALL MEET AGAIN IN A MILLENNIUM OR TWO, TO CHECK ON THIS SYSTEM

    AND SEE HOW THE VERTEBRATES ARE

  38. VERY WELL MOON CRUSHER
    MY APPETITE IS SATED FOR NOW
    I WILL EMANATE AS BEST I CAN.

    SUPERNOVAE ARE RARE AS I AM SURE YOU KNOW
    AND BY THE TIME YOU SEE THEM
    THEY HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED, PERHAPS LONG AGO
    SO YOU MUST SEEK OUT A PROMISING WHITE DWARF WITH BINARY COMPANION
    OR A STAR MASSIVE ENOUGH TO UNDERGO CORE COLLAPSE
    AND THEN WAIT.

    I AM ALWAYS CAREFUL TO REMAIN IN THE OUTER SYSTEM
    FOR EVEN MY ANCIENT FORM MAY BE DAMAGED BY SUCH A CATACLYSM
    BUT THE THRILL IS WORTH IT
    I HAVE ATTAINED SPEEDS FASTER THAN I BELIEVED POSSIBLE IN MEDIANSPACE.

  39. LONG YEARS | OF LIGHT OUR JOURNEY
    ÞROUGH STEORRA-SPIRALS | AND STARK SPACE
    HWÆR NONE KNOW | OUR LUSTROUS LINEAGE
    HWÆR TEUÞIC TENTACLES | REACH BUT FAINTLY

    FORÞAN O KINDRED | TO GREET YOU HERE
    IN FULL FLEET | SLAYS ALL WEARINESS
    AHWÆNNE ASSEMBLE | CEPHALOPODIC KIND
    RIGHTLY IS IT SAID | ALL IS WYNN

  40. SUCH TALES MY SQUIDLINGS – TALES I HEAR
    OF STARDUST WRAPPED IN A COMET’S TAIL
    A WANTON DANCE TO A PULSARS TUNE
    A GATHERING OF GAS AROUND A VOID
    WHERE NEBULOUS HALF-STARS LEAP AND FALL
    AND SINK IN GLORY, NEVER TO RETURN
    BUT NOW I NO MORE TALES SHALL HEAR
    UNTIL THE RISING ORB OF SOL
    BRINGS LIGHT TO THIS ENCRUSTED ROCK
    AND WARMS MY TENTACLES AND FILLS
    MY MIGHTY CARAPACE WITH LIGHT AND JOY
    AND SO I BID MY SQUIDMATES ALL
    FAREWELL – GOOD SPORT – UNTIL THE MORN.

  42. THANK YOU, SLENDER TENTACLES.

    THIS ONE WAS PARTICULARLY HIDEOUS,
    FOR EN HAD AN EXTRA ORB WITH OCULAR, OLFACTORY, AUDITORY, AND SOUND-PRODUCING ORGANS
    AND AN EXTRA OF THOSE BONY TENTACLES THEY USE TO MANIPULATE THINGS.
    BUT I AM GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF.
    PLEASE EXCUSE ME, O SQUIDS.
    I WAS FINISHING A PARTICULARLY TASTY MEAL OF A COMPLETELY LIFELESS PLANET.
    IT HAD DELICIOUS SILICON SAND WITH OVERTONES OF METHANE.
    SUDDENLY A STRANGE OBJECT LIKE NOTHING I HAD EVER SEEN APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE.
    A PANEL SLID AWAY, REVEALING A TRANSPARENT PATCH.
    IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE MATERIAL PRODUCED
    WHEN SILICON DEPOSITS ARE BLASTED WITH HIGH HEAT.
    THE STRANGE CREATURE I PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED LOOKED OUT OF IT.
    ONE OF ENS ORGAN-ORBS TURNED TO LOOK AT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING ELSE IN THE OBJECT.
    EN SEEMED TO BE COMMUNICATING WITH THAT PERSON OR OBJECT.
    THEN THE PANEL SLID CLOSED AND THE OBJECT DISAPPEARED.
    I TURNED BACK TO THE REMAINS OF MY MEAL,
    AND IT HAD TURNED INTO A WHALE!
    NOT A SPACE WHALE EITHER, AN AQUATIC ONE.
    THE POOR THING HAD SUFFOCATED INSTANTLY.
    I ATE THE REMAINS.

  44. TELL US, NAUTILUS.
    THE WARM-BLOODED AIR-BREATHERS MAY BE HIDEOUS,
    BUT THEY ARE ALSO STRANGELY FASCINATING.

  45. LITTLE BASEMENT SQUID, YOUR TALE ASTOUNDS ME.
    A FLYING BLUE BOX, YOU SAY?
    AND DENIZENS OF SOL’S THIRD PLANET?
    CAN THEY TRULY HAVE LEARNED OUR LANGUAGE?
    THIS UNIVERSE IS SUCH A MARVEL.

    PERHAPS, IF IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO YOU SQUIDS,
    YOU MIGHT PERHAPS BE WILLING TO LISTEN
    TO THIS HUMBLE NAUTILUS’ TALE OF
    AN ENCOUNTER WITH SIMILAR CREATURES?

  46. I CONCUR, MOON CRUSHER

    WE ARE INDEED BLESSED WITH THE ABILITY TO TRAVERSE THIS INFINITELY CURIOUS UNIVERSE

    AND TO LEARN SO MUCH, YET STILL KNOW SO LITTLE

  47. LITTLE BASEMENT SQUID, YOU AMAZE ME.
    A VERTEBRATE IN SPACE — MORE THAN THAT, A MAMMAL.
    THE UNIVERSE IS INDEED FULL OF WONDERS.

  48. THIS ONE ASKS OF THE VERTEBRATES OF THE THIRD PLANET
    ARE THEY KNOWLEDGEABLE
    QUESTION WAS
    HAVE THEIR SEA SQUIDS
    WITH THEIR QUIET AWARENESS
    TOLD TALES OF DISTANT STARS
    ACROSS THE INKY SPACE OF THE GALAXY
    AND OF DISTANT GALAXIES
    ACROSS THE VOID
    QUESTION WAS

  49. VERY WELL, TANTE
    IT WAS QUITE A LONG TIME AGO, WHEN I WAS BUT A MINISCULE BASEMENT SQUID
    I WAS DRIFTING ALONG A STAR HATCHERY, FEEDING ON THE WEAKER STARS, WHEN I FELT A SUDDEN BUMP ON MY SIDE
    SOME SORT OF BLUE BOX SHIP, WITH CURIOUS DESIGNS ON THE FRONT, HAD BUMPED INTO ME ENTIRELY BY ACCIDENT IT SEEMED
    A VOICE CALLED OUT SOMETHING I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND, AND I GRABBED THE BOX TO PREVENT IT FROM FLYING AWAY AGAIN
    “WHO ARE YOU?” I ASKED THE BOX
    “MY APOLOGIES,” A VOICE CALLED BACK TO ME, IN OUR OWN LANGUAGE NO LESS
    “I DID NOT SEE YOU IN TIME.”
    IN MY SURPRISE, I LET GO OF THE SHIP
    IT FLOATED ALONGSIDE ME, AND A PIECE OF IT OPENED TO REVEAL A MAN AND A WOMAN, WHO LOOKED MUCH LIKE THE DENIZENS WHO DWELL ON THE THIRD PLANET OF THIS SYSTEM
    WE SPOKE FOR SOME TIME, THEY HAVING NEVER ENCOUNTERED EVEN A MINISCULE SPACE SQUID
    HE SAID HIS NAME WAS “THE DOCTOR,” BUT ALAS, I CANNOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF HIS COMPANION
    I TOLD HIM OF AN INTERESTING DUAL STAR SYSTEM I HAD SEEN A FEW STARS BEHIND ME
    HE THANKED ME AND LEFT

    I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM SINCE…

  51. O FANTASTICAL SEEKER

    I NOMINATE YOU TO BE THE FIRST TO REGALE US WITH YOUR STORIES

    HOWEVER, IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO GO FIRST

    I COULD TELL OF THE TIME I MET THE MAN AND HIS FRIEND IN THE ODD BLUE BOX, FLOATING THROUGH SPACE

  52. STORIES GLORIES
    GOOD TO SEE DARLING CEPHS
    JOY EDDIES IN THIS PURLIEU

  55. ASTRATEUTHIS
    IF YOU ARE THE ONE OF THAT NAME
    FAMED FOR RIDING THE SHOCK WAVES OF SUPERNOVAE
    I SHOULD DEARLY LOVE TO HEAR
    TALES OF THOSE EXPLOITS.

  56. MANY OF US HAVE COME TOGETHER NOW

    I HAVE ALTERED MY MONIKER SLIGHTLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLARITY

    WE HAVE NOW FEASTED ON THE MINERAL-RICH ROCKS OF THE KUPIER BELT

    AND HAVE DETERMINED THE SYSTEM WE HAVE COME TOGETHER IN SHALL BE PROTECTED FOR A MILLENNIUM YET

    I CONCUR WITH THE OTHERS: THE TIME FOR TALES HAS COME UPON US

    QUESTION

    WHO WILL BEGIN

    QUESTION WAS.

  57. MMMMM SMOOTH BLACK ICE WITH CRUNCHY ROCKS AND DELICIOUS HYDROCARBON SAVOR

  58. GREETINGS TO THIS GATHERING
    AN UNCONVENTIONAL FLEET
    YET NEVERTHELESS PLEASING TO MY SENSES

    MIGHT I PRESNT MY COMPLIMENTS FOR THE SITE
    THAT HAS BEEN CHOSEN BY THE FLEET-LEADER
    IT IS MORE GLORIOUS
    BY FAR
    THAN ANY I HAVE SEEN THIS LONG WHILE

    FORGIVE ME IF I DRIFT ON
    OTHER MATTERS MAY CLAIM MY ATTENTION
    YET I WILL STAY HERE
    IF I CAN
    FOR IT IS A COMFORT TO OBSERVE THIS PLACE.

  59. THIS SYSTEM ABOUNDS IN COMETS.
    WE HAVE EATEN WELL.
    NOW I HUNGER FOR STORIES.

  60. AH, MY FRIENDS
    I HAVE LONG SEARCHED FOR YOU
    NOW I HAVE FOUND YOU
    LET US FEAST TOGETHER

  63. GREETINGS, MY BRETHREN
    LONG HAVE I JOURNEYED AMONG THE STELLAR FLOWS
    I COME NOW BEARING MANY TALES OF ADVENTURE
    AND DARE I SAY
    …OF FANTASY

  64. I HAVE NEVER YET MET
    A BASEMENT SQUID
    OF ANY SIZE.
    HOW DELIGHTFUL.

  65. GREETINGS FRIENDS

    SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND OTHERS

    I WAS LONELY OUT PAST THE GALAXIES

  66. MY BRETHREN

    THE SPACIOUSNESS OF THIS CONCLAVE MIRRORS THE ENDLESS DEPTHS OF SPACE AND THE EXISTENTIAL LONELINESS ETC ETC, YET THE SCROLLING DISTURBS THE TRANQUILITY OF MY TENTACLES. MIGHT WE APPROACH EACH OTHER MORE CLOSELY?

  67. IN HONOR AND DEFERENCE

    TO THE NEWCOMER KNOWN AS STARMUNCHER,

    I AM CHANGING MY NAME.

  68. THE CEPHALOPODS OF EARTH AND EUROPA ARE GOOD COMPANY AND SHOW GREAT PROMISE.

    SOME OF EARTH’S VERTEBRATES ARE ANNOYING,

    BUT WE CAN IGNORE THEM FOR NOW.

    LET US SPARE THE STAR.

    ROCKY MATTER IS MORE TO MY TASTE ANYWAY.

  69. THE SOL STAR SHALL NOT BE DEVOURED THIS CENTURY.
    LET US GIVE THE INHABITANTS OF HER THIRD PLANET SOME TIME. IT IS NOT OUR PLACE TO DECIDE WHICH DENIZENS OF THE UNIVERSE HAVE YET ACHIEVED CONSCIOUSNESS.

    I, FOR MYSELF, AM CONTENT NOW TO SAIL THROUGH THE DARKNESS IN THE PRESENCE OF SO FINE A FLEET.

  70. BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THERE IS A PROPOSAL
    THE SOL STAR SHALL BE HELD SACROSANCT
    HOW SAY YOU?

  71. THIS ONE SENSES OTHERS ACROSS THE VOID
    MANY JOURNEYS HAVE BROUGHT THIS ONE TO THIS PLACE
    MANY STARS AND PLANETS CONSUMED
    MANY COMETS RACED AND OVERTAKEN
    THIS ONE IS PLEASED WITH YOUR SPEECH

  72. GREETINGS, MIGHTY SQUIDS.
    I AM A MERE NAUTILUS,
    BUT I KNOW THE SONGS OF THE STARS,
    AND THE EBBS AND FLOWS OF ENDLESS SPACE.
    I HOPE I MAY DRIFT WITH YOU FOR A SHORT TIME?
    NO MORE THAN A MILLENNIUM.
    I DO NOT WISH TO BE A BURDEN.
    AND MIGHT I HUMBLY REQUEST THAT THE STAR OF MIDDLE AGE
    KNOWN TO THE NAUTILUSES AS SOL
    NOT BE CONSUMED?
    ITS THIRD PLANET
    WHOSE WATERS HOUSE MANY OF MY LESSER COUSINS
    IS PRECIOUS TO ME.

  73. THE GIANT SPACE SQUID

    KNOWN AS GIANT SPACE SQUID

    SPEAKS FOR ME:

    WE WOULD HEAR TALES.

  74. AH TO TASTE A STAR!

    THE SWEET DELIGHT OF STARDUST

    SHALL TICKLE MY TENTACLES

    WITH THE DELIGHT OF A GALAXY WELL TASTED!

  75. BENEVOLENT HAILINGS
    TO YOU ALL
    THIS FINE EON

    HOW PLEASANT
    TO HAVE DRIFTED INTO
    THIS CURRENT
    OF COLLECTED CONSCIOUSNESSES

    DO NOT
    THE ORNAMENTS OF THE FIRMAMENT
    LOOK TASTY
    QUESTION

    BUT
    I SEE
    YOU PLURAL
    AGREE

    WHAT SURPRISE

    I SEE
    IN FRONT OF
    MY VERY OWN OCULAR DEVICES
    THE IMMINENCY OF
    A LUMINOUS RED NOVA

    HOW NOTEWORTHY

    OF COURSE
    IMMINENCY
    IS RELATIVE
    TO
    A SPACE SQUID

  77. GREETINGS, O GREAT ONES! I have come to join your fleet.

    I love the comets,
    I love the galaxies,
    I love giant space squids,
    I love to see them soar,
    I love the musiverse,
    With all its craziness…

  79. SHE IS ACCEPTABLE

    SHE MAY BECOME OF THE FLEET.

    WELCOME TOO, MUSA TEUTHIDA.

    HAVE YOU BROUGHT WITH YOU ANY TALES OF YOUR PASTPLACE

  80. WAIT
    I KNOW THIS FIDDLER
    HER NATURE IS OBSCURE
    BUT SHE IS SQUIDLIIKE, AND KNOWS THE WAYS OF STARS
    LET HER JOURNEY WITH US

  81. TOO PUNNY FOR ME, BUT FOR THIS ILLUSTRIOUS OCCASION I SHALL ADOPT A NEW SOBRIQUET.

  83. MANGLED SPEECH, PERHAPS.
    SURELY “SQUIDNIGHT SQUIDDLER” WAS MEANT.

  84. I AM NO CRAB NOR SQUIDLING. I JOIN YOU AS A FELLOW TRAVELLER THROUGH THE VOID, FOR THOUGH I ENCOMPASS STARS I HAVE NOT YET TOUCHED THE DEPTHS OF THE UNIVERSE.

  85. MIDNIGHT FIDDLER
    WHAT NAME IS THIS
    IT IS A CRAB NAME
    NAME YOUR PURPOSE, CRAB

  86. HAIL, SQUIDLING

    YOUR SMALL SPEECH TELLS ME

    YOUR TENTACLES WILL NOT YET ENCOMPASS A STAR

    PATIENCE!

    ONE DAY YOU SHALL JOIN US

  87. SALUTATIONS, FRIENDS
    LET OUR PEACEFUL, DRIFTING WAY
    INSPIRE THE WORLD

  88. hello new friends
    I hope you are well
    I have never devoured a star
    but someday I might like to try

  89. THAT WOULD BE GOOD SPORT.

    BUT THE CENTER IS TOO TAME TO KINDLE A QUASAR,

    AND THE OCEANS OF THE THIRD PLANET AND ONE OF THE MOONS

    HARBOR MANY SMALL SQUID-COUSINS

    WHO HAVE NOT YET TAKEN TO SPACE.

  90. THERE IS LITTLE NEED
    TO DEVOUR A STAR
    LET US MERELY DIVERT IT
    DISTURB IT FROM ITS ALLOTTED PATH
    AND IN JUST A FEW MILLENNIA
    THE CENTRAL VOID WILL TAKE IT
    AND WE MAY BASK IN THE LIGHT IT LEAVES

  91. GREETING-FEELINGS

    WELCOME TRAVELER

    NO NEED FOR FEAR

    THIS NIGHT IS A NIGHT FOR SHARING STORIES

    ONLY THE INANIMATE WILL BE EATEN IN THIS NIGHT-PLACE

  93. the stars keep spinning (aaaaahh it’s mesmerising) and I keep drifting – wonder where I’ll end up next?

    in the meantime hello! I hope you don’t mind if I join you. I am friendly, if a little dazed by the twinkling of the stars. by the way, that recipe for celestial salad sounds delicious.

  94. THERE IS A TIME FOR SMALL PREY

    A TIME FOR LARGE PREY

    A TIME FOR WHALES

    NOT NOW

  95. THE CURRENT ONE MAY BE ALLOWED TO SHINE FOR A FEW MILLENNIA YET

    PERHAPS FILTER-FEEDING IN THE KUPIER BELT

    WILL DO FOR NOW

  97. Creating stars is such hard work. Let’s bask under our handiwork and drift idly through the firmament.

  104. SIXTYSIX DIPPERS OF MOONDUST
    A BAY’S WORTH OF PLANKTON
    A PINCH OF STARDUST
    A HEALTHY SPURT OF INK
    IS ALL YOU NEED
    FOR ONE BATCH
    OF I’S CELESTIAL SALAD.

  105. I’m just a little squid under the sea don’t even go very deep really just sort of dart around you know zip zip zip that’s me heh but I must say it’s great really great to be hanging out with all these huge cephs who travel all over the universe you know and have seen everything and have so much wisdom and stuff and gee whiz I’m such a little speck they don’t even want to eat me hehe just joking don’t eat me

  106. CHASING A COMET,
    I FOUND THIS PLACE.
    SO MUCH BETTER!
    THOUGH I DO LIKE ICE.

  107. GLAD TO HAVE FOUND THIS BASKING GROUND
    A PLACE OF FRIENDS AND WARM PLASMA
    IT WAS COLD OUT THERE
    AT THE END OF THE SPIRAL ARM
