Planet Crowdsource: Meet the Neighbors!

[jeriendhal]

Back at Part Eight for Planet Crowdsource, we asked about the nature of the mysterious MacGuffin Crystals. Out of thirteen votes the overwhelming choice (okay, six votes at 22.2%) was for them having some sort of psionic component. After that the next most popular choices were a three way tie at four votes (14.8%) apiece for "They hum/vibrate oddly when you pick them up," "Pulse with odd colors," and "Including bizarre visions." I've decided to include all of those, so picking one of these suckers up is going to be quite an experience. No wonder those miners want them so badly!

My original idea of what this week's poll was going to be about was how much flak miners would have to go through to get to the planet, but I hink we still need to find out what Life is like when they get there. So let's see if there are any friendly natives about.

I'll note there's no conclusive evidence that the Fuzzies were stupider than humans. They were very primitive, and very small, but once they started interacting with humans they seemed quite capable.

I'm also not sure there's evidence the Neanderthals were stupider than us, either.

My mistake. I'll admit I've never read the books. :(

After all of our questioning whether they're there or not, and suspecting that they're incredibly out of our league, we will discover that the hills are alive.
