When everyone can change their skin color at will, it just isn't worth the effort even thinking about superiority/inferiority of different races, because everyone is malleable now and can be whatever color they feel like being at that particular moment. (At least in Spaaaace!)
--- Quote from: brasca on 21 Jun 2016, 14:22 ---There's a lot we don't know about the world beyond Alice's town which seems free of a lot of the old prejudices, but that's likely due to Alice's will.
--- End quote ---
Since Alices' town is probably not the only human settlement left on earth, I'm willing to bet that there are many places that still hold onto old prejudices. In Alicetown, Ardent being blue was met with curiosity, but some other place he might have been met with outright hostility as not being "Pure Human" or having too much hair, or not being human at all because he has a tail, or some other sh*t.

Fixed that for ya

--- Quote from: MooskiNet on 21 Jun 2016, 12:25 --- it seems making 21st-century estimates of someone else's ability to use photosynthesis as an energy source would be right out, yeah?
--- End quote ---
Estimates of the efficiency are essentially meaningless, agreed, but estimates of the amount of energy available from sunlight falling on a given surface area are reasonably valid. And we can still happily speculate about stasis, and all the rest of it. The sums suggest that Sedna cannot possibly get enough energy from photosynthesis to sustain normal movement and metabolism, and the text suggests that its an emergency only option. Not incompatible perhaps?
Morituri:
It could support movement at intervals. I think she could be awake (maybe with a slower brain so having perception of time reduced) at normal cycles, but might be able to store enough energy from sunlight for about two hours of normal activity per day. That's enough, eventually, to get to someplace where there are adequate supplies that you can stop doing it.

Sedna is 5000 year old May, and Alice is 5000 year old Bubbles.

This actually makes a surprising amount of sense.
