Meeuses
Meeuses is a fictional species from the science fiction novel "The Vexing Veil" by author Kaelen Voss. The Meeuses are described as sentient, silicon-based lifeforms originating from the planet Xylos. Physically, they are characterized by a crystalline structure that refracts light in complex patterns, leading to their often ethereal appearance. Their bodies are segmented and possess multiple appendages, which they use for both locomotion and manipulation of their environment. Meeuses communicate through a form of resonant vibration, which translates into intricate sonic patterns detectable by specialized equipment or other Meeuses. Their society is depicted as highly communal and technologically advanced, with a deep understanding of energy manipulation and quantum physics. They are known for their long-term perspective and their focus on cosmic harmony. The Meeuses' interaction with other species in the novel is often characterized by a detached curiosity, as they seek to understand the universe's fundamental workings. Their motivations are primarily driven by a desire for knowledge and the preservation of universal balance.
