Talk:Nestene Consciousness

Nestene Consciousness or Consciousnesses?
Okay; I originally thought that the Nestene Consciousness was an indivisual being that served as the Hive Mind for the the Auton race. But this page hints that it is as entire species, which is pretty confusing due the the fact that it is constantly refered to as "The Nestene Consciousness". Which is it? And is it separate in species from the Autons or not? Belac Reteet
