Previously, Xaya sent Motherprobe to investigate your planet, she had some flashbacks and some Xeran delicacies, then she did some exoplanet analysis, with the help of Qyi, her ship’s Quantum-AI.

There’s some more of the same in this episode. Except, well, I’m sorry, humans, but it’s not good, from an exopsychology perspective.

Motherprobe watches. Constantly. A lone and sleek sentinel, her inner secrets hidden from the dozens of primate satellites now watching her in turn.

Her nanosurveillance offspring sailed through the cityscapes, amongst the skyscrapers and the Great Pyramids and through the untouched forests and over the deserts and deep beneath the oceans. They recorded the primates at work and at play, they watched them reproduce in private and rear their young together. They saw the smiles on their mothers’ faces reflected in the eyes of their infants.

And then they watched them killing each other.
