What if..

Love the rabbit hole this opens in my mind! Thank, Crazierfox!

Glad to have helped? 

Here is some more food for thought.

Octopus taste okay if done right.  A little too 'fishy' of a taste for me though.   When I lived in Japan I had it.  I preferred the smoked squid.  No fishy tasting suction cups like with octopus.

Too rubbery and if this dive into crazytown turns out to be true not a cannibal.  22 Incredible Types Of Octopus (Names, Photos & Interesting Facts)

When I first moved to the Caribbean, I didn't yet have all my fishing gear, but just a few things.   I was told by the locals that the best bait was a cut-up "Sea Cat" -- a small octopus, mostly because it was thought to be so fiberous that the small in-reef fish wouldn't be able to nibble the bait off my hook.  

So, I started walking the rocky shore, and found a small  octopus in a tidal pool.   I approached it slowly with a spear, and it backed away from me, almost exactly the speed I was advancing.   I took a step back, and it slowly floated foward.   It was as if it understood my effective spear range and wanted to play.   

This went on, back and forth for ten minutes, with me moving all around the tidal pool, and the octopus moving in opposition.   Finally, I got ready and lunged for it, and it shot a stream of water -- not ink -- out of the tidal pool, which landed on my leg and briefly scared me.    I swear, I could almost feel that little shit laughing at me.   After that, I decided it was far too intelligent to be used for bait.    Months later, when I was hunting lobsters at night, snorkeling with a flashlight in  10 feet of water, I encountered other octopuses.    Many were very curious, and would tint red at being approached too quickly, and transition into a blue tone once a rapport had been established.  

Even more interesting were the squid, who at night appear to have a sort of movie marquee flash of small lights running around the edge of their fin and mantle, and if I kept my light out of their eyes, and moved slowly, they seemed to enjoy moving very close to my mask, such that we were eye-to-eye, and would remain in that position, until I moved away.   I feel a communion of sorts on occasion, although I admit that may have been something that I wanted.   

Amazing creatures.   FAR more intelligent that we usually give them credit for.    I absolutely have loved fried calamari in the past, but after that, I can't eat them again.   I would feel like a cannibal.

Imagine a highly evolved Earth Species that adapts and modifies certain “Beings” to perform certain tasks, like Travel through space, or Inner Space.  This “Civiliation” could create highly advanced technologies that look like Alien Technology and they’ve got an Epic Allbi.
While everyones looking in Outerspace for Aliens and Alien Technology, they could be right here underneath the Ground people walk on.  They could be in another dimension, next to ours, like a Radio Station that is just a single digit away from another.
