"Of course! The system's still largely improvised and ad hoc, but functional enough, and Sasha's made some improvements based on the moth's natural mode of communication through audio signals. Well, 'audio' is just a facet, but I don't need to tell you that." Alaric takes a minute to show Remi the interface, and what he and Sasha had managed to put together.

"I should warn you, we're basically stuck with a pictographic pidgin for most concepts outside of mathematics and physics, which it understands quite well. Looks like Sasha's been running through some of the ship's educational programs for that and some information theory..."

He constructs a cartoon of sorts, showing the mothlings being brought aboard the ship. He also adds in an audio clip of the noises Crowned by Eyes makes, starting at a very low amplitude but then growing back to normal when Remi's counteragent is added to the set of mothlings.
