While forging new ways forward in the name of the Pathfinder's Guild, you will inevitably come across a world that can support life! In such cases, the guild advises you to observe only with the sensors available on your vessel. While interaction with a bold newcomer to the intergalactic scene can be an exciting prospect, the consequences of granting a developing species certainty that there are others in Creation to unite against are permanent and far-reaching. In the long-term, it is better for your employment, any species in its development, and our Network as a whole for you to give these worlds and their peoples time to grow up. When they wish to be seen, they will make first contact.
Don't be a firestarter!
I love the look on his face 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kaa is an extracosmic member of the fourth tier of intelligence, a mind hellbent on achieving the total destruction of all life, and arguably (Abridged for Tier 2) the Second War's first combatant.
The form depicted is a scapegoat, an illusion generated by an augmented mind, typically as a diversion in survival situations. However, the vast Leviathan has developed means to weaponize its scapegoat, converting mere target practice into a fearsome attacker.
Thankfully, all compatible forms for Kaa's emergent mind to inhabit were destroyed by a coordinated immune response, causing the Drone Crisis before the outbreak of the Second War.
The concept of honor deserves to come back into common use. Like, praising your friendly neighbor as honorable and bashing things like Musk backing out of an offer to end world hunger as dishonorable would be awesome to hear more.
Because of some similar struggles face by the shape-changing Chichudo (left) and the fungal Kaji (right), the two can often become fast friends!
A friend of mine wants a take on a race he came up with for a sci-fi D&D game I run. Rough bust.
