Freedman dyson said that meeting an extraterrestrial species would be very bad for humanity. Why would aliens want to share technology with a species who could barely understand it. It is terrifying if we are alone or if we aren't. Great story.

A human can stare at an insect and feel just about anything. Revulsion, indifference, compassion, irritation, sympathy... The possibilities are endless. Losing the ability to empathize with other beings is not evolution. It's regression.

The story reminds of the reapers from Mass Effect series that comes to the milky way every 50,000 years to let life and civilization develop and flourish only to be harvested when they are at their peak of civilization advancement before they destroy themselves with their AI development. Those reapers keep evolving based on the genetic material they harvest.

@@invisiblejaguar1 Writer here. And yeah. The assimilation aspect was inspired by the Borg, but the rest had a different symbolic purpose than what the Borg actually represent. The "choice" is a question of how you want to join them. By accepting and becoming a Spaceborn eventually, or by just becoming fodder for their body mod fashion. I'm simplifying it a bit, but the rest should be up to you to interpret. I always think that too much (additional and outside the story) description from the side of the writer leaves less room for the imagination of the audience.

These hideous alien "Space-Born" monstrosities are truly cosmic Lovecraftian horrors. Despite Anna's assertions, I seen no gentleness, kindness or goodness in them. I especially see no beauty in the aliens described in this story. It would be the duty of all humanity to fight them, even to the death. In their evil, they have assimilated all decent life. Do not go gently into their evil night. I agree with BOBO completely and oppose Anna and Grandfather utterly. To me, this story is a warning of what the Transhumanist Movement may one-day bring to the human race.

It's in the story. What? Each of the aliens changes their body according to what they like and what is in fashion on the ship. Using gene modification the same way as royals would use materials for their clothing. How? Mostly by modification done to their very genes. How the technology would work? I don't know. They're ancient aliens, I'm sure it's very complex for a simple human like me to understand.
