[ He took the flask and a swig, more not to be rude than anything. He
wasn't one for drinking on missions even though he had begun to take to it
a little since he didn't always trust the water. ]
You're stuck on the idea of "people" looking like you and me - humanoid
that is. On some planets, our form is a detriment, not an advantage, so
some species have more in common with a jellyfish than they do us. Life
evolves to best suit the environment it's in, so why form bones and gangly
bodies when something more compact, light, and flexible is what means
you'll survive?
[ He had no doubt about that. Some of Earth's ocean still remained a
mystery, and he actually liked it that way. Never mind all the mysteries of
the oceans of other planets. ]
Yeah, we have toys, but it's more to tire them out than train them for
anything. I like my sleep at night.
