But they were all someone who was here, yes? Who had been transformed?

audio

[tucky]

The people who were attacking? Yeah. They were.

audio

[sonofafish]

So they were all hunted down like monsters.

Or am I in trouble?

audio

[tucky]

You're not in trouble.

You know, there's a real big difference between them and you, Francesco.

audio

[sonofafish]

If it had not tried to murder me, I would not have tried to murder it.

Is there?

audio

[tucky]

I know. And if anybody comes to talk to me about it, I'll tell 'em that.

They were changed because they got scratched. The Barge did it - or, I mean, somewhere the Barge took us to did it. Just because people wanted to change 'em back doesn't mean they'd try to do anything to you.

audio

[sonofafish]

They wanted them back to normal. To human shapes.

audio

[tucky]

No, to their shapes. They just happened to be human.

audio

[sonofafish]

No one would even ask if they wanted to change back.

audio

[tucky]

Do you think any of 'em didn't want to?

audio

[sonofafish]

Now we will never know.

Do you think if I had converted someone, anyone would believe for a moment that they had wanted it?

audio

[tucky]

We can know. We can ask them.

I think people would've been worried and all, but he could have explained it.

audio

[sonofafish]

Do you think anyone would have believed them?

[Francesco doesn't.]

They would just say: it is not really them. Not anymore. Even if it is.

audio

[tucky]

I still think it's different, Francesco. He would've acted like himself, even if he looked different. But those people didn't, when they changed. They attacked their friends.

audio

[sonofafish]

It is not possible to act like your human self when you do not have facial expressions or vocal chords or the ability to close your mouth over your threatening looking teeth.

Did anyone try to feed them?

audio

[tucky]

I meant more like... he could still make dumb jokes, and care about the people that he liked, and talk about home.

I don't think anybody did try to feed them.

audio

[sonofafish]

With what vocal chords?

Well maaaaaaaybe they should have.

audio

[tucky]

He could make jokes to you. And you were gonna get him a perception filter.

-- Francesco, what if you got turned into a-- a hydra?

[She chooses the name at random, remembering it from the research she'd started when people had started fully changing.]

You got no ties to hydras. You didn't choose it. You don't know any other hydras. Would you wanna stay that way?

audio

[sonofafish]

Did you ever ask for it?

Well I don't know, do I? I have never been one. Perhaps becoming one would change my mind.

audio

[tucky]

Yeah. But then everything happened, so I told him never mind, we didn't need it after all.

Would you want to become one to see if you change your mind?

audio

[sonofafish]

It might have been useful to have a spare. Or you could have...done something with it.

Not at the moment.

audio

[tucky]

I can ask for it again.

audio

[sonofafish]

If you would.

Who knows, we may go somewhere where humans are considered the hideous monsters.

audio

[tucky]

I wish I could prove to you that most people here don't see you like that.

audio

[sonofafish]

Most.

It is the ones who would who are the danger.
