Many have been wondering this for a while.
I've gotten a little more psychic lately and can actually communicate with some of them now. So, I asked them...what do THEY want out of this?
I get the sense it's a couple of things.
The first is more allies in a cosmic war against a very powerful, authoritarian control system that threatens to overrun a vast space. They're worried about them and their significant technology.
The second is a lot of them actually just want to chill and be free. They're not that different from us in some ways in what they maybe seek. In some ways, at least a few are envious of us. They're fascinated by our strong emotions and our intensity. Our short lives forge deep connections. They want that connection but not the erasing of it.
I've felt their emotion, the images, the rhythm, if not the words. It seems pretty real. At least it felt that way.
