I've seen some alien species program living organic plant matter like a computer because plants were what they had to work with. Who knows what these guys have figured out how to do with ice. The structures are impressive.

[And melting a little. But not enough to concern the local population.] At least the natives seem willing to talk to us, and happy enough that we're here. [Hopefully that means they just need to ask the right questions. Maybe.]

...I've got a couple friends who could probably figure it out, the structural integrity bit I mean, if they had the right data. [Give Hunk enough structural information and he can puzzle anything out, so far as Keith is concerned. And Pidge may be a programming genius, but he won't count her out of any sort of mathy problem.]
