Tumine Barok, turn 5.2-5.3
Exodus Colony

Tumine spends the remainder of this time assisting Iklekos, especially with swimming and with being comfortable being out of the water, but also with things like finding food and so forth. She also tells the Karksh anything they wish to know (that she knows) about the world outside the water.

To Iklekos, she asks, Are we going to introduce these Karksh to the Oque? I intend to go to them when I leave here, and look for other Oque settlements that may be nearby. The Oque that you met will, I'm sure, be willing to move downstream farther once food in their area runs short. If we do introduce the two species, do you think they'll even be able to talk to each other? They both seem to use telepathy...
