I saw this in my alpha centari game. I think they are psionic or something.

TFA: "...proving for the first time that worms can survive untended in space."

The C. elegans which survived the final space shuttle Columbia mission (new window) are not impressed.

TFA: A group of boffins led by Szewczyk sent up the latest batch of space worms

Many boffins died to bring us this information.

Not too sure I should be worried about this. I'm only going to Toshe station to pick up some power converters.

For what it's worth, it made me smile.

And if you knew me personally, you would know that's all the approval you need. Yeah, I'm kind of a big deal.
