Tepid tasoth Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I just wondered, do those aliens ever sleep at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Very possibly not... I mean we know they've engineered themselves beyond reproduction and they don't eat or drink the way we do any more. Maybe they use some kind of stasis chamber aat base or something strange, there are the cryo tubes on TFTD anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tepid tasoth Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Maybe that's the use for those "recreational" stuff on bases and such. It may be used to relax the aliens minds and bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 All manner of creatures need rest. Even artificially engineered life forms. It's just that they may do it in a completely different manner than what we're accustomed to. They probably rest by playing their equivalent of cards in the command centre... The cryo thingies in TFTD were more for keeping the adolescent aquatoids in them alive while they powered the crypt. Living batteries. Not rest in the normal sense. They're the sort that haven't got spoons. No wait, aliens do have habitats and what have you. I also dinstinctly remember that the aliens in TFTD had these strange clam shaped thingies that are probably beds. Or am I confusing some UFO component for that? Oh well, there's plenty of fun to be had by staring at all the gidgets and gadgets in the colonies and guessing their apparent purpose. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tepid tasoth Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think I know what you mean. Do you refer to that thing in the bottom of that pic?https://www.xcomufo.com/usopaedia/pics/big/shot0109.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I just wondered, do those aliens ever sleep at all? In Interceptor the aliens simply kept their pilots in stasis until they were needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I didn't think people deal with Sectoid questions with such depth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Over the years and various forums I've been on, there have been worse ponderings. I mean, having big arguments over the gender of some aliens or sectoid pornography... Drat, I'd almost forgotten that. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accounting Troll Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I think that the Sectoids, along with most of the species the aliens throw at humanity in X-Com Enemy Unknown were once independent races that were conqured by the aliens and subjected to genetic engineering experiments. There seem to be limits to what genetic engineering and surgery can acheicve with each alien race, so if the Sectoids ever slept when they were free, then they still do. If the aliens were creating these species from scratch, then X-Com would have had to do battle with telepathic Mutons and Cryssalids, which would have been tricky.

Tepid tasoth Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Well, I just wondered if those Greys are tired in the evening and go to bed, which would make night attacks a walk in the park. @NKF: Sectoid pr0n? Geez that's creepy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
