Hmm. Maybe I should go to M26 after this is over to help with communication. If I can dissect some samples...

Maybe Saint should just be taken off the project.

Their unabashed megalomania/paranoia combination have got them pretty far before this. Measure someone's worth by ehat they've accomplished.

Except for Maurice.

I would not want somebody to win, say, a local baking competition, by those standards.

Does anyone know what he did though, or have reason to check up on him regularly? Or would they have to conjure up an excuse partly based off of a little (probably justifiable?) meta?

Anyways, for what it's worth, I also kinda feel shooting them was uncalled for at this stage of testing. I mean, seeing if they burst into demons when provoked could also be accomplished with a strong jet of cold water: mildly annoying, but nothing permanent. Or maybe even a single carefully grazing shot to see if they bleed and respond normally, but again without killing. For all we know they life in a rather normal dimension with humans similar to us (for whatever reason, though that's all extremely unlikely) and the probe just happened to spawn at their local nudist beach.

And hell, if killing is really absolutely necessary, then at least make sure you leave no witnesses and burn the evidence. Now we have a bunch of locals to go tattle and make next contact harder than it has to be. Not needlessly antagonizing the locals seems like a good rule of thumb (though of course anything hitching a ride into our universe can be obliterated if it so much as grimaces strangely, we can't really afford any more hostile extra-universal incursions).

Anyways, enough backseat driving, please continue your regularly scheduled murder.

Well, two other people are now involved in the examination of the aliens.  Dester/Ozark knew Saint would be working in the Orgyverse, so it wouldn't be metagaming for him to check it out.  The last two people are in the analverse currently, but they'll be returning shortly and it would be entirely reasonable for them to check up on what progress was made while they were gone.

As for massacring a crowd rather than surgicaly killing a couple of them... Yeah, that was more an OOC choice that I decided was more entertaining.  I could make an argument about a large sample size, or a larger gun in case a small gun were ineffective, but it would be retroactive rationalization.
