Oh! Someone else joined the conversation too! That's exciting. Well, one thing at a time...
"Um, okay, okay, so," she started, looking at Zil. "Um, for the human shape thing, yeah, I can do that. It's... I guess a sort of advanced disguise device... thing? Here." Theraea tapped the computer-thing on her forearm a few times, and again rapidly shrunk to a pretty convincing human form. "I use this to blend in, mostly! It's kind of a little uncomfortable, like... wearing a full-body costume everywhere, but it's worth it to not really call any attention to me. I feel like most people wouldn't take it quite as well as you all do, probably? Especially not the omnicorps."
Tap, tap. Back to moth form with Theraea. "Um... 'Blackstar', was it? That's a, um, good point about heroism and all that. I mean... I guess where I'm from the idea of someone being a big flashy hero is kind of a weird one? Like... okay, okay, I don't know, um, I guess I don't really think about anything I do as stuff that will make people see me as a 'hero' or compare me to people like Lux or anything. It's just kind of... there's stuff I can do that people in this universe can't, and even if there's infinite universes out there where infinite things could happen in infinite ways... I guess it still matters to me that I do what I can to help out. This whole omnicorp thing isn't even what I came here for, but... I like this planet. I can't solve everything - I mean, that's an important thing for us, that we don't try to decide the course a society that isn't our own takes - but if I can help nudge things in a useful direction, I want to."
Theraea's antennae twitched. "I hope that makes sense??"
