Parece Mindbridge de Joe Haldeman
Aqui está o bicho telepático alienígena (a "ponte mental" titular), do canal 11 Bridge-1
One remarkable property of the ESP-inducing creature Tania Jeeves’s team brought back from Groombridge 1618 is that the creature “tunes” itself to individuals. It seems to be most sensitive, or most efficient, with the first person who comes into contact with it, and less sensitive with each subsequent contact. Further, the sensitivity does not seem to decrease with time.
Aqui está o alienígena hostil do 49-Chapter Fifteen:
O livro é escrito em uma combinação de estilo epistolar (como uma coleção de letras ou recortes, como no Drácula de Bram Stoker ou no Chamado de Cthuhlu de Lovecraft), bem como os estilos de primeira e segunda pessoa geralmente vistos em romances. / p>“I am an ethical and . . . the closest you say is ‘courteous’ . . . organism. My first act when I meet a new organism is to do what it expects me to do. As well as I can divine its wishes.”
“I can not believe this,” said Chin (L., Bellcomm). “These people, you claim, wanted you to kill them?”
“Not precisely. They expected me to try. Physically. Simply to kill them, with no danger to my own parts, would have been easy enough.”
