Yeah I know I just barely made a blog post, but had to mention this.
IIRC the wormholes use a base 5 system including network packets.
I've taken an IT course and found it pretty funny that basic network packets are still of use from an ancient (extinct?) civilization.
Also. The introduction of Squirrel-Rat-Dragons was cool. I'm a furry and the surprise anthro species are entertaining. More how I'd imagine aliens too, like the sci-fi trope of basically humans with maybe a strange color of skin and stuff on their foreheads gets old.
I think Dennis E. Taylor must be a fan of speculative biology, at least going by the Outland series, with alternate earth animals evolving in interesting ways, mega-fauna, stuff like that.
That's it, cya.
