Very good, Cap’n Dyke. Now the question becomes, when hostility or friendliness is encountered, do we take it as mere perception, or do both truly exist in some balanced state that renders the ultimate indifference?
Always intrigued by your offerings here, Cap’n. Always a pleasure.
Commander, ‘Intrigued’ be th’working word here. Add that t’ th’word ‘Pleasure’…
An’ in answer t’yer Query: Methinks that there does exist Balance between Hostility an’ Friendliness as well as Intrigue an’ Pleasure. However, while hostility an’ friendliness balanced may become th’Ultimate Indifference, it be Me Belief that th’Balance o’Intrigue an’ Pleasure brings about th’Ultimate Opposite o’Indifference.
Unless you put intrigue, friendliness, pleasure and hostility in the same bay and then you’ve got what the crew on the Lykopis calls a ‘party’. Of course, the two of you could be meaning it the same way. Captain, watch out for the Commander, it’s been said that she’s left a string of hearts from the Eskimo to the Ancientinus Border, but I’d guess you’ve done the same on a worldly scale, so have at it.
Space Girk, or might Th’ Cap’n call ye ‘Girk’? Anyway, not t’be worryin’ about th’Commander an’ this Pirate Queen, for it appears we understand one another quite well, but thank ye for th’Warnin’ all th’same.

ZOUNDS! This picture looks eerily similar to the “Starchild” frames from the ending of the movie “2001–A Space Odyssey”
Capn, you otter post the two photos side by side:
(and here’s a link to one of those frames

OK–so I went ahead and cropped ‘em and put the two photos side-by-side.
Tell me this isn’t way WEIRD:
