|

the enemy with great precision – are rarely surprised,
|

and can pick out hiding or concealed foes much
|
||
|
|
more often.</p>

<p><b>Observation:</b> "I am not a noisy person.
|
||
|
|
I grew up doing black-op assassinations, and now
|
||
|
|
as an adult I am a goddam Frontiersman. So explain
|
||
|
|
to me how that [expletive] knew I was there."

|

|
|
<p><b>Thesis:</b> until we know how alien "hivesight"
|
||
|
|
actually works, the aliens themselves will remain
|
||
|
|
a mystery. If our current knowledge (all of it
|
||
|
|
unproven and untested) is correct, these aliens
|
||
|
|
have the equivalent of a larger radar dish –
|
||
|
|
they can detect minute and distant disturbances
|
||
|
|
in the bacterial network. Because these aliens
|
||
|
|
have never been observed using the "Cloaking"
|
||
|
|
or "Scent of Fear" evolutions, it probably
|
||
|
|
involves their outermost skin layer. Perhaps microscopic
|
||
|
|
ridges form, increasing the alien's surface area,
|
||
|
|
and improving its "reception". In any
|
||
|
|
event, these creatures can pick out the threat
|
||
|
|
alert from the bacterial information stream with
|
||
|
|
extreme accuracy. At its highest level, this evolution
|
||
|
|
seems to make enemies near impossible to miss.</p>
