[How annoyingly thoughtful, she thinks. But no - that's a good thing. Better clever than blind, and there's no harm in a bit of showmanship being called what it is. Cathaway shrugs her narrow shoulders, offering Pidge a thin apologetic look. Fair enough.

We believe them to be similar to us. Given their appearance in multiple universes and at different chronologies, we suspect they must be based in a pocket of the multiverse similar to this one. We don't know why they want to destroy us, just that they do - and that they've been good at it. Their hand has appeared in many places and they seem to have a goal the involves manipulating the flow of certain universes, but we haven't been able to determine what that is if it's more than simply exterminating us and our symbiotes.

[Another, smaller shrug.]

They take many bodies and forms. Direct contact tends to lead to death, not conversation.
