005 ⌥ TEXT; ANONYMOUS [god, i feel like i'm spamming]

[femshep]

If anyone's got a minute to spare, I was wondering if you'd tell me about wherever it is you come from.

The world or worlds, the level of technology, the political hierarchy, your culture and society and how it functions, etc.

[But a few minutes later, a second part is tacked on.]

Forget it. Forget all of that. Don't worry about getting technical.

Just tell me what it was like for you. Your ship or city. Your job. Your friends or family.

If it's not a problem.

'Unique' could mean a lot of things. Good. Bad.

On the planet Sequiz the dust, when exposed to too much ultraviolet light, becomes sentient, sings, and attacks people.

'Unique' meant 'in your opinion'.

Any chance you could tell me how that works?

[The 'suddenly sentient, singing, and violent' part.]

I'm not a xenobiologist. At a guess I'd hypothesize that the radiation triggers synaptic communication between the dust particles, giving them sentience. But it's not something I've looked at closely. I've no interest in putting my life on the line just to study some dirt.
