- The text describes a conversation between two alien beings discussing their discovery of a sentient race made entirely of meat.
- They express disbelief that such beings could think, communicate via radio using machines made by meat, or have consciousness.
- The aliens decide to ignore the meat-based life forms, viewing them as unworthy of contact, and consider erasing their records of the encounter.
- They mention that the meat beings are limited by light-speed travel, making meaningful contact unlikely.
- The conversation ends with the aliens planning to mark the sector as unoccupied and turning their attention to a more acceptable hydrogen core cluster intelligence.
