They're Made Out Of Meat

Terry Bisson

First Published in

OMNI magazine, April 1991

1991 Nebula nominee

--------------------------------------

"They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"Meat. They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the

planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way

through. They're completely meat."

"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"

"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The

signals come from machines."

"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."

"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the

machines."

"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe

in sentient meat."

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient

race in that sector and they're made out of meat."

"Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that

goes through a meat stage."

"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of

their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life

span of meat?"

"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A

meat head with an electron plasma brain inside."

"Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei.

But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."

"No brain?"

"Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat!

That's what I've been trying to tell you."
