<Huh. All right.>

"It seems oddly appropriate for a Charlie. He's not emotionless but he's very stoic."

Permalink

<It is strange to me that species in Warp can interbreed.>

Permalink

"Yeah, it's pretty weird. Sometimes there are medical oddities but mostly it just works. They're also overwhelmingly humanoid; there's common ancestry hypotheses and some are actually known to be related."

Permalink

<Common ancestry would explain it. Can demons check that?>

Permalink

"I'm not actually sure if 'most recent common ancestor' is something they can conjure by."

Permalink

<Presumably this happened after spaceflight was developed and there would be written records?>

Permalink

"No. Well, yes after spaceflight was developed but not by any surviving civilization, so you'd have to know when you were looking for and then comb through all the writing of around then..."

Permalink

<So a fascinating project but an inconvenient one. Warp's own historians might take it on once the truth gets out.>

Permalink

"Seems likely. Man, the multiverse is already a spectacular array of fascinating things but imagine in twenty, fifty years..."

Swish-swish. <I know!!>

Giggle. "- T'Mir says there's a brief window after putting a symbiont in a Trill after which the Trill can survive having it extracted but the personality blending sticks in the symbiont - less so in the host - and after that window no such luck."

Permalink

<Well. That does not sound ideal but there are more pressing problems.>

Permalink

"It sounds like Trill is a perfectly nice planet with a pretty well-managed system and the most salient news item she found while she was looking this up was that somebody got in a fight with someone else who outcompeted them for the symbiont they were both trying to get, so. Maybe Yeerks would be popular there."

<Are you inclined to try introducing the assistive-Yeerk system here on other Earths?>

Permalink

"Possibly. It does require everyone knowing what's going on and what the bracelets mean to really work, so it'd be a ways out."

Permalink

<And there are more than enough people interested here on this Earth, I suppose.>

Permalink

"Well, it sort of depends on how many Yeerks it turns out there are when we conquer the Empire and how quick they integrate into the paradigm."

Permalink

<Ristrell should have some insight there.>

Permalink

"Yeah, I'd expect so."

Permalink

Read read read - <Our world's been checked for alts of Morgoth or Sauron ->

Permalink

"Yeah. Doesn't have them unless they're inconveniently insubstantial."

Permalink

Unhappy tail-swish. <Well, they at least did not make an appearance.>

T'Mir appears ten minutes before it's time to go to the Moon.
