No, I agree, I've never considered them capable of 'fighting' that force, everything points pretty solidly to us being hidden here. From the Storm and from anything else out there - be it other entities that have survived, or some unknown truth.

We'll have to figure it out. And I mean-- seriously, after this incident, I fully believe that from now on we need to look at this planet and these circumstances as our problem and as the Natha as an inconsistent defense resource, and not as the Natha's problem we're caught up in.
