Nothing alike, understood.

From what you have explained, the cephalopods seem smarter and way advanced than humans. They even got doctors to perform delicate operations like brain transfusions.

Now if the smaller brain of a ceph is able to accomodate the human body, giving it the needed instructions, then what more a complete ceph with 9 brains.

How did the humans manage to keep them isolated for so long?

I still feel deeply for Nora, human Nora. Also i cant wait to see how Nora-Ceph adapts to the human world. Were fragments of Nora's human memory extracted from her brain?

I am asking too many questions . I'll just wait till post the next part :)
