"That, and the fact that the aliens' minds don't work the same way humans do. They get hungry pretty quick, and it's dangerous to be alone with one. Eating and digesting living creatures is how they reproduce. My eating habits haven't changed since I came here, though I don't know if they can eat normal food. I'd guess they can, if only to pass."
Just the idea of eating anything alive nauseates Kinner, especially since that was the position he was in when he died.
"There's a fairly easy blood test that can identify the creatures, but I haven't taken one yet. Might someday, to give everybody peace of mind. There may be other ways to identify one, but that's the way I know, and it works."

"Last thing I remember is the creature grabbing my arm with a blue tentacle and forcing me to look into its eyes. I tried to fight free, but it was too strong, and it I felt an urge to sleep. Then I was out like a light. Next thing I know, I woke up here."
