- Databank autogeneration interrupted. Script hook found in allocated memory. Executing.
- Unpacking archived data.
- "Nahema, voice log, go. Earth's last great man joked that the Creator must love stars and beetles, because It made so many of them. Two hundred years later we've found a lot of alien life. And guess what? Not many beetles. Sorry, Jack. But look - your Creator's still playing favorites. Wherever It works, it seems to get started with a sponge."
- Databank generation interrupted. Outputting last good draft (terse):
- Sponge. Simplest animal. Amoebic cells work together to pump water - in through pores, out through hole (osculum) at top. Feeds on suspended nutrients. Reproduces sexually or by asexual fragmentation.
- Presence of spongelike life: ambiguous survival sign. Suggests loosely Earthlike biosphere (not radically hostile). However, large size suggests many available nutrients - either due to a productive ecosystem or a mass dieoff.
- Most religious and ethical systems permit harm to sponges.
