wondered again at the thing’s intelligence.

Sam Hamilton,
Haha ewww

Mama Fuzzy.
Grandpa Fuzzy.
the fuzzy equivalent of a teenage boy.

the best darn butler a little fuzzy ever had.

“Are you keeping him in there so he doesn’t scare away those creatures?” Isabel asked. Holloway smiled. “Not exactly,” he said. “Come on.”
“An old science fiction movie called Return of the Jedi,”
“They’re sleeping on the cot?” Isabel asked. “Now you know why I’m not inviting you to it,”
Haha
“It’s like they were evolutionarily designed for adorability, isn’t it?” Holloway said.
Haha
the Fuzzy Family reached Isabel, and she was distracted by cute.
Holloway looked around at the nature on display around him; it wouldn’t be there for much longer.
Joe DeLise,
“Brad Landon,”
“I’ve met DeLise before,” Holloway said. “Lots of times before. That’s why I’m antagonizing him.”
Haha
Haha
I hope Brad and Jack will get along. Brad seems to recognize the validity to much of Jack’s snark.
Haha
“Very humane of you,” Holloway said. “Cheaper, too, as it happens,”
One half a percent of a trillion is 5 billion.
Five hundred million credits, Holloway, in your account, right now.
I don’t like being pressured into making deals, and I don’t give a damn whether you’re going to run the company one day or not.

Haha
“He condescended to me, I was antagonistic to him, he made a dismissive offer couched in contempt, I threw it back in his face and promised legal action if he tried to cross me again.”
“So, the usual with you,” Isabel said.
Haha
Haha
Haha
“I think they’re sapient,” Isabel said. “I think these creatures are intelligent on a level beyond just animals. These things are people, Jack.”
Haha
it’s one thing to teach an animal to step on a detonator panel to get a treat. It’s another thing to teach it how to make a sandwich.
“You’re going to make them fat,” Holloway said, closing the cooler. “He gave the second one to me,” Isabel said.
Haha
“Which in itself shows higher-order cognitive function,” Isabel said. “It’s called theory of mind. Papa assumed that when I asked him to make another sandwich, that I was asking him to make it for me, because I was hungry. He was attributing intent and reason to me.”
Haha
But is there evidence they have speech? Language?
