"Hey, you remember hearing about that death world out on the T10 distal rim? The one the long-range probe picked up a few cycles back."
"I think I saw something on the 'net about it, some paranoid nonsense about a species of monsters. Why?"
"The Surveyor corps finally sent a scoutship to it, you'll never guess what they found. It's got life, sapient life!"
"Oh yeah? Who decided to colonize that one, was it the Ra'zik? Those jackasses will claim any rock they can land on."
"No, you're not getting it, the damn things are indigenous!"
"That's impossible. There's never been a recorded instance of a sapient species evolving on a death world."
