[It isn't too long into the Jaunt before Ryo's excited voice comes through on the network.]

BEST JAUNT EVER!

[And Hajime's far more exhausted mental voice comes in afterwards.]

This is Hajime, we, ah, did that thing where we're both infiltrating and not infiltrating, and there's some kind of space base out here with a lot of aliens bent on conquering Earth to take care of some bioweapon? I just...don't really know what's going on beyond that.

[Ryo cuts in again.]

And we're mantises! Mantis people are normal here! Not many of them, but enough to be normal! IS AMAZING!

Most of the universes we visit have a tenuous connection to science at best. That does not mean we should assume the least plausible explanation is the right one without investigating the matter first.

Okay, that’s fair. Who knows how many secret plans might have been in place for some kind of ‘first contact’ operation.
