--- Quote from: Channelore HellicottAtham on 29 Jun 2016, 01:08 ---Love that Gavia's hair continues to grow, it's almost a yardstick for her evolution from entitled, life-inexperienced, and possibly quite shallow spacegirl to a more lively and alive young woman who actually touches and engages with the living world around her (as opposed to having nanotech do her walking, dirty work, her everything for her).
The tan is pretty cute, too. :-)
--- End quote ---
I'll agree with the life-inexperienced, but she's really as entitled as anyone who is born into a world where genes are augmented possibly at conception and life is free of many of the problems humans have to deal with. I cannot begrudge her for being born into that especially when there seems to be rules about cultural contamination which keeps the space dwellers and planet dwellers separate. It's not like she wanted to go there anyway. Moreover, she only knows what the Praesides have told her and their version is probably not all that honest. As for being shallow she doesn't seem to put much value on appearance since she's more upset with the loss of her abilities instead of how she looks and I think she truly believes that technological modification is the highest form of evolution and not just a means to avoid hard work. Perhaps she was such a workaholic (or whatever counts as such on the space habitat) that she never had any friends. She's not whining about building fires or cooking breakfast so perhaps she considered her nanotechnology a means to accomplish more with her time which isn't all that different than contemporary people using appliances for sake of convenience. She certainly has made the most of her situation which is more than I can say for people living in the 21st century who lose their wifi connection for more than an hour. Ironically she may enjoy her time on Earth more than Ardent, but that remains to be seen.
FunkyTuba:
Poll: Sedna will be...
A) Greeted with open arms. "Hello fellow archaeophile, can you help us dig again? we made much better progress when you were here"
B) Fought tooth and nail until the diggers succumb. "Dammit you stole all the guns we dug up last time, you're back to take more of our stuff?"
C) Welcomed but Alice and the rest of the crew will be shunned. "You brought Her back? and not just one, but TWO non-baseline non-earthborns?"
D) Other?
BenRG:
D) Something freaky happens - Sedna passes Alice and the two Spacebourne off as her wife and kids. For some reason this is accepted without question. When Gavia queries Sedna about this, she mutters something about "in their field, they're quite smart" and "tunnel vision".
Zebediah:
E) "Hey, we need workers! How much would you ask to sell us the blue boy?"
I doubt Jeph will go there. Just be glad I'm not writing this.
Method of Madness:
Sure, it's a different town than the one we've seen, but what gives any indication that slavery exists in this world?
