They have gamma ray vision and so on.

So they come out to the surface.

What do they see?

Well, all of this stuff that we're seeing here, this is like a thin plasma to them.

They are so dense.

None of this is solid to them.

They don't see any of this stuff.

So they're walking around, you know, the planet is sort of, you know, covered in this like thin gas, you know, and one of them is a scientist and he's taking measurements of the gas and he says to the others, you know,

I've been watching this gas, and there are these little whirlpools in this gas, and they almost look like agents.

They almost look like they are doing things.

They're moving around.

They kind of hold themselves together for a little bit, and they're trying to make stuff happen.

And the others say, well, that's crazy.

Patterns in the gas can't be agents.

We are agents.

We're solid.

This is just patterns in an excitable medium.

And by the way, how long do they hold together?

He says, well, about 100 years.

Well, that's crazy.
