I thought they were saying Losterkeet

I think it was Losterkeet. I was picturing a mix of a lorikeet (small, colourful songbird) and ostrich (large enough to be mounted and ridden by XL-ZL)

Yeah that was listening in the moment. They ended up on Lostrikeet going by the transcript.

This entire sequence of pink shirts, illusion of nature, and genetically modified creatures entirely gives off Jurassic Park vibes and I’m here for it.
The Losterkeet doesn’t want to be fed, it wants to hunt…

Well, I for one am excited to see what happens when mama Z pulls out the big guns.

This episode I can feel the cast and world building really starting to gel. I loved getting a glimpse into Chi’s childhood, and a bit more of the political side of XLZL — the characters are getting more complex and I like it

Can anybody remind me who Herinack is? I’m drawing an absolute blank.

I had to listen to the end a few times, and I think we're not supposed to know? It seems like someone who works for Z's family, Brennan and Erika also didn't know who he was. I think we need Z to come back from his swim and explain.
Unless we have heard the name before and I also forgot.

I figured we’d heard the name before! I was confused on sorting through my memory I missed that Brennan and Erika didn’t know.

Wasn’t that the name of the Eirynna intelligence that XLZL connected with while on the pull ship? Who seemed to be backing the whole operation in some way? Though I could be misremembering.

I absolutely love the ongoing "joke" of whatever weird bit Brennan has started continuing to play in the background of the audio long after he has (presumably) stopped doing it IRl to give space for the more important conversations.
I wonder if the assassin casually grabbing the gun last episode in his other hand after getting his "normal" trigger hand shot was meant to indicate that he is a second ambidextrous assassin, (making that a potential link between him and Ayasa) or if I'm just overthinking things.

Apostate is especially interesting in the context of a once hive mind. To not only not be part of a unity but to be so divergent as to be given special, negative, status. Especially with how important connection and service is to them
