I don't know how safe it is to speculate about this stuff... [but these are just hypotheses, not a plan of action]

And I don't know enough about the nature of the organism. Depriving it of food seems the most obvious answer-- but that's exactly what it's best adapted to prevent.

[somehow this whole damn situation is making a kind of sense it never made before, since beginning to think of Luceti itself as an organism]

I suppose what happens after depends on how closely the planet and its-- [organism, consciousness, will?] heart are really bound.
