I hadn't included those as characters. I suppose that is a prejusdice on 
my part ingrained form being lambasted by my 9th grade English teacher 
for considering the dog in "There Will Come Soft Rains" a character, 
since it's an animal in a famously characterless story.

I imagine the watching apes are covert aquastors, which is rather more 
sporting than making them invisible. Their lack of invisibility like 
aquastor Triskele might mean they are agents of a faction with a less 
skilled operator or poorer equipment.
