LOL -> “Get back to work. Mike was always nuts.” “I thought you liked him.” “Sometimes you like nuts.”

I have a bad feeling about this? -> "I cannot infiltrate you with my bodies. Perhaps I can do so with my mind."

This-> “War’s a human thing,” I said, but hollowly. Maybe war was actually the one universal thing, after thermodynamics. Everything fights, in the end.

Lol, all this time I was thinking our narrator (Juna) was a dude.

"...the immensity of the globe has been shrunk for me." Crikey, humans. You're rolling around the planet in the eternal dark, bowling over aliens, flying your drones like you own the place. And then this happens. What. Have. You. Done?!

Oh snap! "We had, inadvertently, given these Shrouded the air."

What an observation! "I had to stay strong for her, just like she was staying strong for me. Normally this would have been because you couldn’t show your weak spots, in case they were brought up in your next appraisal and ended up degrading your wage-worth. But right then it was because she was the only person I had in the world, and if I exploded on her, then that would just have been more weight for her to carry."

Nice construction: "I was not happy. I couldn’t even draw a map from where I was to happy, not in the dark like I was."

"_Not the caves_, I tell it, and make sure I draw its notice to the threat. Yet into the caves it goes." Alien face palm.
