This story has a very simple yet nifty idea , what if by meeting a race we introduce to them mortality. As they like some jellyfish are pretty much a undying race.
They have no concept of mortality and are innocent in its understanding and many of its implications on life.
Love , hate , pain and pleasure so on.

It’s a good idea with very sixties sort of high sci fi style.
It doesn’t actually feel like it could be easy to do in that era though as the ashtalins are rather visually difficult. See through and gelatinous.

Still as a audio of this consistent range it maintains the steady quality of the last set. It’s no masterpiece but a good story be a easy listen. Overall 8/10
