They dont look like they can fix stuff.
True. They look as if they would fumble a bit, lol. Butter fingers!
Hmm I had expected someone to pull out the geek card and quote the books, but I guess I'll have to do the honors :D
Taken from: The Fall of Reach
They floated a half meter above the ground, as if the odd pink-bladders on their backs kept them aloft. One alien used a slender tentacle to open the hood of a car. It began to disassemble the car's electric engine, moving with startling speed. Within twenty seconds all the parts had been neatly arranged in rows on the pavement. The creature paused, then reassembled the parts with blinding quickness, disassembled and rebuilt it several times into different arrangements. Finally, the creature simply reassembled the car and floated on its way.
