Also loving this tidbit:
Octopolis seems to be centred on an unidentified human-made object about 30 cm (11.8 inches) in length, but there's no obvious comparable object in Octlantis that creatures appear to have settled around.
They built another little settlement around an "alien" artifact. Like the apes in 2001, except the monolith is some old rusted trash or something.
Is it weird that this gives me hope?
