Yes! The "Dance of Predator and Prey" story. I've brought Blackburn and his interpreter Laura Richardson in for a cameo in the current Kindle Vella project--with sentient horses, birds, reptiles, cattle, and rabbits. Plus the Plasmoids, who may have sparked sentience in all sorts of sentient species across the galaxy...which might also include humans...

BTW, Blackburn is a black ops intelligence specialist as well as a negotiator. He has quite the history....
