Motivation to finish Rebirth, then. I had to wait a year to get it on PC and kept getting distracted.

I am convinced she has a feminization fetish and no one can tell me otherwise. Look at this!

"Look at what I got here!"

"Hey, where all the white women at?!"

In Ashelyn's epilogue, her pilot mentor explains that due to uncovering the remains of Second Sun HQ (after SOMEONE burned and vaporized a ton of it) they uncovered advanced material schematics, and two jet fighters (they used turboprops).

The materials will take time, but Victor bought her one.

I gotta say, I beliebe those Gods are dicks.

They're also the Third Age of Humanity, reconstructong new and old tech from the ruins of the past ages. This becomes key after Second Sun when the space program is going from 1950's level to warp travel within 100 years, thanks to Kalyana.

Second Sun involves conspiracy: re-invent the atom bomb.

Q's evolving respect and frenimy dynamic with Picard is one of the best long-term (as in the entire series) threads.

Like I made this subway map for Stahl, which was eventually chosen as the setting for Second Sun, so I get a ton of use out of it.

Kolybel's been around since 2009 and was created as a space to tell stories. It has a 28,000 year history (okay, I didn't detail every day but ONE DAY I WILL) starting in 1979 where our timelines diverge. A lot of fun, I make a lot of stuff for it, it's my playspace.

Thank you.

Next three are Trinitian: The Ark (which is a miracle it has a flag, given it's proudly anarchist but they want people to know: "Free on the water, or dead on the land."), Viridia (needs to be improved), Workers Federation of Tsentr.

Then the Luxian Empire on the Luxian Isles side.

Trinitian: Coastrea, Prakasya first two.
Luxian Isles: Concordian Dominion, Sovereign Nation of Espora

Flags you say... United Norden States, Verloren Corporation, Krone Empire, and Vershi. To name four.

Basically, yes. It's difficult to choose life, but a few do. It's a different way of being that takes getting used to, can lead to incredible things when your will gets channeled through your 'lens'/ unique sense of self which some use for healing others, defence, or burning the place down in flame.

Oh, one person 'Answered the question.' (which means managed to summon the will to survive, but rejected the Biology to Will transformation while drowning. She has various Autemá abilities like sensing will, heightened senses and reflexes, but not the whole package. Her body is still biological.

'The Mountain Without a Peak', where you 'climb' to improve yourself and your willpower and reach discovered (or undiscovered) 'plateaus'. First is Fledgling. All other people are "at base camp".

As of the end of WIP, 2 other plateaus are known: Avatar and Absolute.

instantly changes how you live. Your body goes from being made of matter and governed by those rules, to being a projection of your will. This has many benefits and some gnarly, dangerous drawbacks. You appear human, but those that know can feel the difference.

This is also the first 'plateau' on..

Oh, right. Autemá is one of the three disciplines in Kolybel and is tied to willpower. When someone is about to die (in Tat's case, be destroyed) you get asked 'The Question': "Will you die, or will you do what is necessary to survive?"
It's extremely rare to answer the latter, but doing so...
