1. Exile to the roads isn’t all that bad, once you’ve had a few centuries to think about it. The views are spectacular out here and I never like that town anyway.

2. The aliens are tiny flying things that individually lack intelligence. It isn’t until the expedition stumbles upon a hive and the massive swarm-mind within that they understand their unique shared sentience.
