The Indu
#fiction
Humanity has met their first alien. And we have no idea how to communicate with them. After years of working on the problem, here is what we know.
They don't communicate via sound like we do. Rather they have a special organ in their brain that is dedicated to direct idea communication. They touch foreheads and they induce the formation of an idea, memory. or engram in the receiver.
For the receiver, this must be like reliving the experience. The physiology suggests that receiving area is separate from actual memory, so it may be more like walking through a virtual world of the transmitter's memory and imagination.
This allows them to communicate is ways that are incredibly different from humans. When I write or speak, everything that you perceive is filtered through your own experience. I can say something is blue, but I cannot tell you what blue is. At some fundamental level, everything that you hear or read is tempered by your knowledge and experience.
Communication between the Indu is sharing a thought. They could convey an idea for which they don't have a word. In fact, the idea of a word is, well, alien to them.
