It is well seen through ultra-violet. A mechanism to survive and hunt in the soil” Puter proposes. “There is so much loss with my senses that is there for you to see” Bonn quips. “Yes, I sense night waves I know you can’t see.

What makes them different is subjective feelings. To build a highly effective and efficient machine, an android, one that is even five

One that can out-smart, out everything the carbon-based muscle-and-blood-bags. But doesn’t make them a ‘being’. Bonn doesn’t have a ‘friend’ and he needs one. The physics ‘essential’ to produce a replica is easy from minerals on their planet but there is something missing. How do you make a spirit, a character, a being
