Come on, Taddy. A tunicate has a notochord. Trust me. Other than that,
you're pretty spot on. They stay in one place, they're bottom feeders
sucking up the detritus of the ocean and what small amount of spine
they started with has atrophied. They're creatures of pure reflex.
Prod them and they shrink in on themselves, emitting a stream of
processed water.

I point out their reflex reactions to Nav as evidence in support.
Twitch squirt, twitch squirt is all they do. The real pity is that
they can't come to terms with their own inadequacies.

The other thing we use tunicates for, of course, is........... bait.
Here they're dual purpose - both baited and bait.

We wait with bated breath for their next stumbling reply.


I'm honored.

Will it be a
coherent sentence?

Does it matter? Once you're waiting with bated breath I am fulfilled.
