This world was small and exclusively gaseous. Because of its smallness, it only weakly attracted objects towards it. In its atmosphere, in different areas, the air could be very thick and it could be somewhat thick. With the different thicknesses, beings could move using different speeds.

The plant shell was responsible for preventing anything gross from underneath from ascending. But if something good came, such as a dead energy bug, the shell ejected it upward! It would also eject anything upward that landed on it from above.

Above the shell, there were fish that ate the dead energy bugs. The way of the bugs was as such: Be born. Eat energy bugs. Move unusually, because if you dont, the fishers might hunt you and kill you, and will want to eat you!

The fish had to try to keep moving for a long time. But luckily, compared to the thick air around the bugs, the air was less viscous around the fish. The bugs could only move by spending a lot of energy. But the fish could move by spending just a little energy, too.

Above the fish, there were people. The people hunted and ate the fish. To people from your planet, they could seem less like "people", and more like "fish" (similar to the fish below). But their nature is different. They, like you and I, are great thinkers and communicators. Therefore, they will be "people" in this document.

These people did not have legs nor arms; they floated in the air. If you we're to look at one of them, you would be able to see the thing behind them. The color of their skin was that of air, but with a slight tint. Their bodies were round. But each of their bodies had a strange circular shape, such that it was unique from the rest.

The people used a powerful and strange method; they powerfully moved the air around. If they moved air in their own area, then this would move their body. If they moved air in some object's area, then this would move that object. For things very nearby, the movement of the things required very little energy. For things very far away, the movement of the thing required a lot of energy.

On your planet people talk using air and hearing appendages. On this planet people talk using their body, and by touching skin it during the communication. If two people are near and make contact, then they can communicate. This is their way, and it is not strange to them.
