Delvers are incapable of most emotions; rather, they reflect all that they sense outside.{{book ref|sky2|44}} This being said, they can hear and perceive any intrusion into the [[nowhere]]. It appears to cause them immense pain; as such, they utterly despise cytonics, and grow more hateful the longer one holds their attention.{{book ref|sky2|31}}{{book ref|sky1|48}} Extreme and prolonged cytonic "screaming" can and will cause them to transition to the physical world in an attempt to quiet it down.{{book ref|sky2|40}} [[Superiority]] scholars speculate that a species needs to develop particularly skilled or powerful cytonics for delvers to pay attention.{{book ref|sky2|10}}
Once delvers leave the nowhere, they can also hear radio communications, which causes the same hateful reaction in them. They perceive both types of signals as noise, making them grow aggressive and go after the strongest source in vicinity.{{book ref|sky2|43}} When they are done, or otherwise run out of targets, delvers will roam outer space for anywhere between several years to several decades before fading back to nowhere.{{book ref|sky2|10}}

According to Spensa's second vision on the Path of Elders{{book ref|sky3|24}}, an alien species with access to advanced technology created a "beast" which wiped out the majority of the pre-Write cytonics before being defeated, causing a long period of isolation that cut off most races from each other and causing humanity to forget about the existence of cytonics until their rediscovery by Jason Write. In the vision, this "beast" appeared similar to a delver (shining white eyes in a featureless blackness), but it is unknown how similar it was to modern delvers.

In total, thirteen delvers emerged into the physical world. They rampaged throughout the galaxy for the next few decades, destroying world after world, before eventually fading away one by one. From then on out, however, they were a constant presence in the [[nowhere]], observing all visitors. For this reason, [[Superiority]], as well as human enclaves, drastically cut down on the use of cytonics and wireless communication, so as to avoid drawing them in again.{{book ref|sky2|10}}
