I have to admit - I once made a criticism about how it was a bad move to make the first companions you meet in a game be antagonistic, standoffish or otherwise 'dark'... but I forgot all about Us, who is absolutely your friend and wants to be your friend and loves the fact that you are their friend. Us is good brain. Us is best brain. Us should teach us how to awaken the other three 'special' minds so that we can have an all intellect devourer party adventure.
