Not a species I'm familiar with. ( And he's been offworld a few times, it's enough to generally know what's out there. Then again he's surrounded by 'humans', and that certainly wasn't a species that had evolved last time he knew. ) It's as good as any option. I feel they might be a bit more hesitant to allow us into anything sensitive, considering the welcome we received.

( That gets a small, sad smile - although he hopes it can also be encouraging. )

One of the pitfalls of our system, regrettably. But that certainly doesn't mean you're not more than capable of it.
