Quote:I think we need to work out a coherent picture of exactly what's going on with Venus, first of all.
Lurker, drakensis: I hope this works for the two of you. I'd already been playing with the Doc terms, so I got a cackle out of the Boskone, Lurker...and drak, see if the thionite bit works for you? I'd originally intended it to be what they wanted made, but if there's a native plant on Venus, then a user-friendly version of broadleaf makes even more sense. Timewise....this probably took place a month or two before the Convention, I'd think? Enjoy!
When I think of terraforming Venus, my first image is of seeding the clouds with tailored bacteria to start altering the atmosphere into something livable. If 'wavium speeds the process of designing those critters up, and enhances their efficiency, then maybe we can already be up to the level of "native plants" by this point--it's still a Trenconian hellhole, but it may be possible to send ships down there and harvest stuff. Is that what people have in mind?
But yeah, this works for me. What really amuses me is that the poor bastard probably had no idea what Kev's terminology even meant -- the last thoughts in his head would have been "zwil-what?"

Similarly, the raiders may at first not have a clue why people are suddenly referring to them as Reavers, or Boskonians... or Boskonian Reavers, which I think should be the term that is ultimately applied.
