Looking for life forms in exoplanets is not what we aim to. Spending billions of dollars in looking for bacteria out there is not our main concern. Our goal must be to look for conscious beings, life forms that are self-aware. We don't even mind whether those beings are intelligent or not: intelligence is just a narrow and useless human category. Conscious life forms, that is what we and they are looking for.

Now that we know that at least 3 plant species show signs of consciousness, it is clear how mistakenly wrong were those who once thought it would have been profoundly mysterious if no neural processes were required for a life form to be endowed with consciousness. Neural processes are just one way to achieve consciousness, perhaps one suitable for mammals, but certainly neither the only one, nor the more efficient.

What consciousness does is more important than what it is.

Past that point you just become one of them, which is exactly what they want.

It doesn't work like that. There were five of them, you see. What one of them perceives and senses it is automatically perceived and sensed by the other four. We first thought there were some sort of telepathy going on. Now we know we are facing a totally different phenomena: a coalesced mind. Let me explain it like this: there were five of those life forms there, but only one mind. It is as if they have one mind created by merging two or more previously separate minds.

Their separated brains communicate with each other directly, as if they were different parts of the same brain. We interrogated the one captured at DENIED. When we captured the second one, weeks later, this, too, was interrogated. We realized this second life form knew every piece of information the first one collected from us during the interrogation process, so we concluded that any stored information that one of the minds can consciously access becomes consciously accessible to the other minds as well. They do not have individual brains as we do: they are a collective mind.
