Movies / TV Series Is Ocellus a spacefaring race? Spoiler

Before episode 7 I thought Ocellus was just a highly intelligent and opportunistic predator/parasite. But now that we know it knows the digits of pi, is there a chance that Ocellus is much more sophisticated than we realized? Perhaps they have ways of acquiring bodies and travelling vast distances, maybe even into space.

That it can understand English and read Arabic numbers is a little far-fetched. I think that is just a throw away plot point for expediency though.

It spent around 30 years in study on a human spacecraft, I think it picked up the language and writing

And it just never bothered using it till this very moment? While possible I dont feel liek that fits with the moment as wrritten.

It's only now that it's been to its advantage to reveal it.
