Mops is good at picking up on subtle reactions. Do the Thessyx show any body language/eye contact/tone of voice or pace of speech changes with regards to who they speak to (are they more comfortable with redheads, do they stare at prostheses etc)? How do they tend to respond to enthusiastic friendliness vs reserve vs whatever level of hostility the Adamant survivors will show them? Besides the hatchlings, what are they most interested in and does anything in camp worry or repel them? How united are they, are the older and younger ones on the same page, and do they talk amongst themselves? Are they surprised by the sinkholes and the turbo-moles?

But really, Mops is still at least this interested in the humans. Additional strain imposed by the visit, levels of resentment vs hope, how steam is vented, stories of previous encounters. What she eats basically does not matter to her so she'd give her shares away pretty much immediately.

I see we've got answers about the tunnels suggesting the moles have gotten spooked out this way from rat-wards! Do any of them bear wounds worth noticing? Are there any particular commonly available chemicals/substances that repel or attract them?
