That's a very good post G-Tech, you're really captured the essence of Primes and MorningLightMountain's character very well. I'm not going to nitpick or anything but there is more than one immotile that makes up MLM, I'm just checking to make sure you know. Currently there are at least a couple thousand crowding the bottom of the lake.

Absolutely aware, OOCly. ICly I highly doubt you bring motile workers up to the lake, except for the ones that carry food to the immotiles, so Delas can't know that just yet :) I did make the assumption that each immotile oversees a certain segment of workers, so only one would be in communication/attempting to communicate with the 'motile' that is Delas- hope that's right?

Goddammit. You're outsmarting me at my own civilization. Yes, that would all be true.

Would there be other groups of tributary immotiles scattered around the place? Like those who'd split off, like in the book. Later you could use cables. I can see your nation as being one of the primary technological innovators, and the rest can kind of steal stuff.

Crabs are cute to other crabs. Otters are disgustingly hairy humanoids.

There are other immotiles outside of MLM, there are about a dozen Prime hiveminds each in their own city-state, MLM is the dominant one and he would prefer to kill them all but he can't attack one without three more hitting him in the rear.

What I meant was are there other immotile clusters making up MorningLightMountain itself? Or has it not figured out how to do that yet?

Oh, and Zep, whenever you see this, can you add the accepted blokes to the OP? Its devilish trawling through fifteen pages of OOC to find the apps of the people I'm interacting with.

TUEV is about 17 meters away, but was at about 33 meters.

Oh, all of MLM's clusters are at the lake but that will change with electricity and radios, etc. The last time a cluster was made was at the base of the mountain and because of the time difference between thoughts they became rogue and a brief civil war ensued.

You can hug a crab! You just might need some protective armor while doing so.

We'll find a way. Also, a note.

NOTE:EVERYONE: The Confusion of the Strait (As was named by Science Past-Times) is the first record time in Past-Times that anyone born on Island has met anyone beside a Hegemonist.

NOTE:EVERYONE: If you are wondering why my names are so. FUCKING. CUTE. It is because the Turians are too busy to name stuff, the Humans are pets, so the SAMs name everything. I mean, their word for gun? Sparky-Sparky-Boom-Stick, commonly shortened to SSBS.

Aaaaaand boarding action complete. This should be interesting. I think the Veritch shall name the SAMS the "squeaky big rat people".

Sorry for short post, I couldn't really think of anything to write. Now that I think about it, I should've wrote about the opinion of the Crabs. But, they're just giant crabs, so... I mean, otters eat crabs.

That's going to be a problem, considering the Veritch came from the crabs, so you're essentially eating their ancestors......Awkward.

Yeah, but crabs are more like one of those dishes only a few weirdos like. Like those people who don't like chocolate. Clams, however, are the key to an otter's heart. That's one of the reasons they aren't normally politicians. If more, you could bribe them easily. But the ones who are in charge are normally just the ones who care more about getting the job done, not eating.

NOTE:EVERYONE:EATING: Otters love to eat.

I shall bribe the otters with Veritch delicacies.

Anyways, I'm going to hold off posting until other people post, so I can make longer posts instead of spamming the IC thread.

NOTE:EVERYONE: Science Place would like to inform you that they have names for all places. Surely, you all know of Land, the island they live on. The Hegemony, or Lands, has been their longest ally. Crabland houses the Crab-peoples things. Probably, the only one that will be called by its normal name is the Hivemind.

NOTE:EVERYONE: Science Peoples would like to tell you of its current directory of other Peoples. NOTE: Peoples are defined as with the ability of speech.

Turians: Everyone knows what they look like.
SAMs: Cute.
Humans: Strange cross between Turians and SAM. Have the skin of the SAMs, and the hair on its head, but is in a Turianoid shape.
Snakey: Turianoid with a snake bottom.
Sharky: Turianoid/Humanish with a sharkish flavour.
Kitty: Somehow, this is a Human with cat ears. It is supposed that it the ears house more brains to make the Humanish creature smarter. We would know more, but the Hegemony, for some reason, is against us dissecting one.
Turish: Strange Turian/Humanish hybrid. Seems to work like lower insects.
Crabs: Not much known about Crabs, but seems to be giant crabs. Not to be mistaken with crabs, small, disgusting tasting creatures.
Hivemind: Not much known. Only known is that its not the worm, but the worm's master.

Does anybody have the map but with everyone's claim on it? I'm trying to figure out where to send my scouting fleet.
