[ lol. lmao. ]

When interstellar traveling is a thing, you learn there are more than just humans out there.

[camena]

Sure, but I was picturing, like... green aliens with buggy eyes? Not just... whales.

[gnosia]

Well, the planet she's from is full of intellectualized animals like her.

[ it's so normal to them that, admittedly, it's pretty interesting to see other people's shocked and or surprised reactions. ] Someone kinda fits the description you mentioned though. Except... he's not actually an alien, he's human.

[ help me. ]

[camena]

... I literally only have more questions the more you tell me.

[gnosia]

You're free to ask all the questions you want. I'll do my best to answer.

[camena]

Why's a guy green?! Are there other aliens on your ship? Wait, do you count as an alien if you're from a base and not Earth? Are there any people with cool powers?

[gnosia]

He's actually grey, and it's because it's artificial skin due to an accident. Everyone is human except for Otome, who I told you about. Though one human is technically also a cat, there's an AI android and also an Autonomous Doll sometimes among us. And I'm technically human as well even though I'm not from Earth. No one has cool powers.

[camena]

... I don't trust your judgment on what powers are cool.

Also how is a person a cat?

[gnosia]

Eh? [ HELLO, THIS ATTACK? ] Powers aren't normally a thing is all, outside what the "Silver Key" can do.

Well, to be more accurate, he's transitioning into cathood.

[ yeah. ]

[camena]

Nope. You've been to space. Opinion revoked.

[ :/ you see too much cool shit to even know what's cool. ]

What. That didn't—I don't understand any better from that.

[gnosia]

Wouldn't interstellar travel suggest I know what I'm talking about?

[ they look amused though. ]

It's a bit complicated, admittedly. It's a surgical process called "felinification."

[ sometimes... you don't believe you're meant to be human, but a cat! ]

[camena]

It means you're desensitized to cool stuff.

[ me having to consider whether or not alex knows what a furry is ]

... I... see...

[gnosia]

You think so?

[ oh cola, if only it was in that furry sense ]

He's even got part of the body of a cat connected to him.

[ i mean an actual cat. ]

[camena]

[ listen she's so confused about the cat thing that she can't even comment on the first part. HE WHAT ]

[gnosia]

Too confusing? [ haha ]

[camena]

Way too confusing. Tell me more.

[gnosia]

[ so funny ]

About him? Or some of the others?

[camena]

No, definitely the cat guy...

[gnosia]

Well... they're connected via... [ they... gesture to their own neck... ]

[camena]

[ THAT'S SO VAGUE AND DOESN'T CLARIFY ANYTHING ]

[gnosia]

[ they're trying not to laugh at her reaction send help ]

The two bodies are connected through the neck, once the surgery procedure finishes he should be able to abandon his human body behind for his cat one.

Honestly, I'm not too overly familiar with it outside that. [ they're human and they're perfectly fine being human. ]

[camena]

I guess if that's what... makes him happy...

[gnosia]

It does seem to.

[ but that is... his life.. ] I think you would probably enjoy all the sights my universe has to offer. ...At least, in a version where Gnosia don't exist.

[camena]

I just don't totally get what they... want? Gnosia, I mean.

[ like, setsu told her vaguely? but still. ]

[gnosia]

[ ah, their expression draws together a bit more seriously ]

Well, Gnosia are inherently just carriers of the Gnos' will. Their purpose is to erase humans, which is essentially sending their minds to merge with the Gnos. They fully believe that by eliminating humans, they are "saving" them.
