They pulsate in bright colors similar to the gradients that appeared on your screen earlier.

			`	After "watching" your explanation, a rapid-fire sequence of colors is exchanged between the Incipias. Your translator cannot follow, so you are left watching them flash in what ends up being yellow tones mixed with green.`
			`	"Thank you for this profound-depth insight. All we gathered until now was by observing-studying stars close to us. To think that there is so much out there... it truly invokes a determination-will to explore.`

			`	"What an odd-reasonable question." It's glow turns into a swirl of purple and green. "We could ask the same in return - what is it like to live on hard rock? But we understand its reasoning-origin. So let me tell you of the cloud-halls of our home-sky. Lightning will draw the most beautiful color-sings between the pillar-clouds. Between them are our cities, the most color-lifeful places you will ever see. This is a bit of a poetic-gradient description, but I do not know what else to say."`

			`	"Thank you again for your time. You have given us much to process. We hope you too have benefited from this meeting-talk."`
