Salut tout le monde,
Je reviens sur la bestiole "Sarlacc" dont j'ai un peu parlé
ici.
Sur Wikipedia,
l'article en anglais est pas mal plus complet que celui en français.
The Sarlacc's stomach is lined with a fibrous network of vessels that attach themselves to a swallowed victim.
(...)
Besides digestive acids, the stomach also contains mind-altering neurotoxins which keep victims from struggling and escaping. The toxins induce hallucinations in prey which "suggest that the Sarlacc somehow absorbs the intelligence of all its victims, who live on in disembodied torment." A Sarlacc can communicate with its victims through this stolen consciousness.
Il y a aussi l'épisode où Boba Fett (le chasseur de primes) est passé bien près d'être assimilé :
As Fett is digested, the creature taps into his mind and proceeds to have a conversation with the bounty hunter. The Sarlacc informs Fett, "[Your] life and death belong to me now, not you; and they serve my purpose. Recognize and understand your place in things, Boba Fett, for you are not even a real thing; merely a collection of thoughts that has deluded itself into a belief in its own existence." The voice belongs to an alien named Susejo who was eaten by the Sarlacc four thousand years earlier. The Sarlacc absorbed the alien's consciousness and communicates with Fett through him. Despite the hopeless nature of the situation, the bounty hunter manages to ignite his jet pack, causing it to explode; he then uses a concussion grenade to blast himself free from the Sarlacc. Fett is the only person known to survive being swallowed by a Sarlacc. Years later, Fett returns to Tatooine in a new ship. As he approaches the surface of the planet, he flies past the Pit of Carkoon as a voice in his mind sounds, "YOU!".
Pas mal difficile à croire, tout ça.
Presqu'autant que le
"pas d'avion au Pentagone" ou les
"démolitions contrôlées au WTC".
Pas tout à fait, mais presque autant.
