I like the way Hekaht supports his lower arm in the pocket and the upper arm on the lower.

A arm that works as a arm-support. Arm´arite ?

Not the most productive meeting I have ever attended to :-P

I find especially of concern, that Zane has dismissed everyone without giving any disposition of actions to take - at the very least, they need to get a better understanding of our world, by way of SIGINT or otherwise.

I wish we had heard the opinion of the Sashli. In the past they successfully mediated between the Raharrs and the Insectoids, maybe they could help sorting this mess out.

If you mean those nautilus looking things (can't be bothered hunting down the page right now), they botched it when they had the chance. At best, they might have some front-row insight into what went wrong, but the whole fiasco was surely studied by every historian and anthropologist in the alliance.

The author is against any kind of application of AI to his artwork.

TRIVIA
Artificial Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence are not the same thing.
AIs, much like in real life, are not conscious or sapient and are more like really advanced scripts.
ACs - like Quantum - on the other hand, are properly sapient persons, but their functioning relies on a specific hardware setup as much as on code, so they cannot upload themselves to other computers.
