    I think that as long as we pass this test from their perspective then it’s fine

    We have to convey the 3 check boxes to one another.

    It doesn’t matter who is more advanced as long as both species can answer yes to all 3 questions

      ☑️ Does it have Tier 5 intelligence or greater?

      ☑️ Is it of sexual maturity for the species?

      ❌ Can it communicate with subatomic gamma waves?
