Id be interested in theories (or Tinfoil Hattery) on what's going on with the second ship appearing when you drop MA's in a NHSS?
For those that don't know: If you drop into a Non-Human signal and drop 5+ Meta-Alloys, the Thargoid ship scoops them up, and as it's doing so a second Thargoid ship jumps in, sets off an EMP, and... flies around then jumps out. The first ship continues about it's business as usual until it's done, then jumps out as normal.
If you drop only one or two MA's, the Thargoid scoops them and that's it.
I'm seeing very little discussion of this event which, it seems to me, is quite extraordinary.
The second ship appears to completely ignore the human pilot in the situation, if anything it looks like it's more interested in the other Thargoid ship. The reason for the EMP blast is unknown too.
Are there any versions of this encounter that differ from the above? Times when more than one ship arrived, times when no ships arrived?
Speculation on what's happening here?
