'''<center>Commentary</center>'''


Noe gathered hir ancient wits about hir and gently propelled hirself forward, sending waves of [[telepathy|telepathic]] reassurance rippling ahead of hir as sHe started hir song.
First quietly, like the wind in the trees and the calls of small animals and birds;
then, as sHe approached the fascinated [[intraterrestrial]] botanists,
hir song grew fuller and more complex, as sHe superimposed deeper and deeper
layers of [[meaning]] on the subtle rhythms, painting [[psychic]] pictures with sound in their [[mind]]s.

SHe sung of hir ancient connections, of the Helianx and the demise of their planet;
of hir [[race]]'s endless galactic wanderings and its many discoveries;
of the Great Ship and hir beloved kin, fast asleep in a state of suspended animation;
of the terrible waste of all that [[knowledge]], should sHe fail in hir mission
and the Helianx were to die out as a result.
SHe sung of hir long [[exile]] on this planet and all the massive changes sHe had witnessed:
the comings and goings of the ice sheets; the tragic die-offs and the sudden mutations;
massive volcanic eruptions that darkened the sky for years;
earthquakes and asteroids that helped shape the continents;
the [[extraterrestrial]] colonies that arrived and then departed---or, had disappeared under the waves;
the rise of the mammals and the ultimate emergence of human intelligence.

Empathically feeling the couple's interest deepen, Noe modulated hir song to paint
more recent events; the chaotic failure of the previous mission and the inexorable descent
into madness of so many of its survivors; of how they were masquerading
as gods and goddesses and of their bullying, manipulative ways
and how they have held their [[human]] followers in a thrall of fear ...

Noe paused momentarily when sHe realized how minimally the scientists had been briefed on the true conditions on the planet.
Growing more confident and sensing that the pair had become completely absorbed in hir story,
sHe resumed hir song with a crescendo of [[harmonics]] as sHe eased hirself closer.
Now sHe could see them sitting close and hugging each other in a forest glade,
a single beam of sunlight turning their fair hair into a golden tangle.
They were beautiful creatures--the very [[apogee]] of [[bipedal]] development.
Sitting tall and straight, with muscular, bronzed bodies and a nobility of bearing
that even Noe, of a very different species, found unexpectedly moving.
Having kept the pair under telepathic observation since their arrival, Noe was quite aware
of the difficulties the [[science|scientists]] were facing. In the light of this, and what must be
the high strangeness of hir own unusual [[presence]], sHe could only admire their serenity.
Now the three of them were in the clearing together bathed in soothing golden sunlight.
Noe's sinuous body sparkled with iridescence as sHe slowly circled the beautiful pair,
drawing them closer into hir [[ecstasy|ecstatic]] embrace, while hir winnowing song hung in the air weaving a sequence of [[hallucinogenic|hallucinatory]] [[vision]]s in the minds of the entranced couple.

Noe rejoiced in their complete lack of fear, reveling in their delicious, welcoming [[sexuality]].
SHe loved their obvious [[intelligence]] and their open, honest hearts.
In those moments sHe knew sHe had made the right decision and that whatever lay in the future,
hir [[race]]'s [[destiny]] would be inextricably and intimately involved with the [[fate]] of these two beings.
And, of course, their children, and their progeny, even until this world is settled in [[Light and Life]].
