Oh crap. Can you imagine Scot Pilgrim type vegans in Fenspace? Sure, it would be a little too much, but you gotta admit that having to subsist on a vegan diet is a pretty good quirk for having super powers.

The whole thing about Dryads is giving me an idea for a central character amongst the HARDES. A botonist from the HARDES goes to Marduk specifically to get herself turned into a dryad. Ben later grumbles about how he has to send a C-130 over with a group of arborists to retrieve her. Her tree winds up being setup in one of the biodomes on 37 Fides and the entire dome becomes her workspace. Later, the HARDES acquire a World-Tree ship as the flagship for the expeditions department, and the dryad-botanist is made the captain of the ship.
