9 [JUST BEFORE]

Open ocean-currents in usual flow, tropical sea-water warm. EEii(click) was more than satisfied, swimming with her pod (hauue) of five, always a prime number. The recent encounter with a smelt run was still dancing happily in her belly as she twisted and turned in general joy /Thank you/brothers/sisters/joining body today/ she expressed to the smelt, and sang a gratitude song in clicks and super-sonic tones. Her fellow hauue-mates soon joined in, all equally grateful for their meal.

Out of nowhere, there was another swimming with them. The entire hauue, surprised by this appearance, abruptly made a defensive cluster and began bombarding the visitor with queries for identity in their telepathic, five-dimensional language… their first response to any unknown visitor.

The odd-shaped visitor, something like a large sea-eel but with a number of eyes and many branch-like extremities, long and ebbing with the current…  responded perfectly and fluently to all of them /greetings/all-connect may we?/

The hauue stopped, intuitively knew that this visitor is no threat, changed from the alert-circle and allowed the creature in their midst. Floating free in open water, the group with the new-comer finally bobbed up to the surface for air, then drifting down in unison, attentive.

EEii(click), not the leader in this think-hauue (but more the impulsive one to ask hard questions) thought-communicated /please identify/not part of us/unique/

The entity connected in a thought-flow heard by the hauue as kind and knowing; /friend we are/invite /hauue/away/safe/change soon/must leave
