They leapt in front of an attacker to save a deathworlder. The attacker fled in terror at a giant snake striking at them. -- BKF
[AN: Cogniscent species must have tool use to get into space, so interestingly snake-like sneople it is]
The Edge Territories have been likened to a box of chocolates. First, you never know what you're going to get. Secondly - it's highly dangerous for a lot of people who exist in there.
Shissothi didn't think of Trading Station as the edge of anything. Not until he heard other cogniscents using the term.
It made him wonder what it was the edge of, but there was always something interesting to see. And in this encounter, someone. They were an awkward-looking thing, moving around on long, thin appendages rather than a stable and reliable tail. The arms swung around as if they had minds of their own, and the entire being looked far too fragile and squishy to be out amongst so many dangerous alien life. One of the meaner ones was approaching the fragile creature. Big, tough, and already posturing in a fighting stance.
