Dylan continued to find himself drawn back to Delphi, once one of the most beautiful and #bountiful of all the planets in the Five Systems.
Not terraformed, but naturally verdant and filled with life. There were already signs of recovery, the ecosystem aggressively vigorous. That held hope.

Lhoris is nothing but ashamed of his heritage and instincts, but Ozanna is the embodiment of freedom.

I shifted in the stupid nelevah, and wished I could scratch my face. That would smear my makeup, though. "Thou-all art sure we do not have time to change out of this stuff?" I asked. Again.
"I fear not." Atosho was trying to be sympathetic. Emphasis on 'trying', though.
"So... what's this 'Huvishu' like?" I asked after a pause.
"Actually, she's quite vaichuh," Atosho said. We spent about thirty seconds figuring out how to translate that - "charming" seemed to fit.
Suddenly Manayka spoke up. "She likes young men." A couple of the women gave him a sharp glance, but he continued. "She always has a pretty semapee or two around."
"Lots of women like pretty boys," T'ramoi said, almost interrupting him.
Manayka resumed speaking. "Those semapee do not usually stay very long."

Did you know, the majority of fruit breeding and grafting arose *after* the start of the Bronze Age?

Which means that, with few exceptions (apples, pears, grapes), *none* of the fruits of the timeline Jim's stranded in are familiar.

So yeah. *Lots* of unique plants.

Nin winds up challenging Alan, her former fiance, to an arm wrestling match, and because he's drunk, she wins. Alan is a poor looser and taunts her.

It required some translation on the part of Manayka and Atosho to convey the issue: They couldnโ€™t see how to make a gasoline engine be efficient at varying speeds. An engine that worked for walking speed would be horribly wasteful at highway velocity. How could โ€˜carsโ€™ possibly be practical?

I could tell they thought theyโ€™d found a genuine technical inconsistency. Atosho had gotten even more reserved.

โ€œAnd when you stop?โ€ Nerugo glared. โ€œEh-na-gee-na must turn. All etomokeh. Or else fail.โ€ She was nearly as good as the gynologists at dumbing down her vocabulary.

I held up a hand. โ€œCan me show-doh? Inside-doh of haikuhchee?โ€

Saloro drew a crude picture of the guts of one of their vehicles. I finally grasped the problemโ€“they had an electric motor for each wheel.[1]
โ€œI see. I see,โ€ I blurted, somewhat desperately.[2] โ€œโ€˜Engineโ€™ hasโ€ฆโ€ Crap. I didnโ€™t know the word. I grabbed a โ€˜pencilโ€™ and sketched a couple of meshing gears. โ€œโ€ฆโ€˜gears.โ€™ Different size for differentโ€ฆ fastness.โ€ A burst of insight. โ€œAlso, โ€˜neutral.โ€™โ€ I mimed pulling my hands apart. โ€œNotโ€ฆ touch. Engine just turn, not make โ€˜carโ€™ go. โ€˜Idle.โ€™โ€ I moved one hand in a circle, kept the other one still.

[1] In fact, the motors are built into the wheels. The โ€˜tireโ€™ (which is of course not rubber, but I donโ€™t understand what it is made of; best I can gather, itโ€™s a flexible ceramic?) is like a half-shell around the motor, and can be replaced separately.

[2] The actual word was โ€œvabihgeewu,โ€ โ€˜received.โ€™ As in โ€˜I have picked up the signal.โ€™

#WIPSnips 28: walk

Explaining internal combustion engines to a timeline where they never arose is... tough. On the face of it, they're ridiculously inefficient.

Rory completed the #quest, receiving the reward and immediately started to search for the next marker that would carry him on to the next section.

Heโ€™d played this one before and knew it would involve several more parts before he fully completed it. It was one of the more involved ones.

In his #quest to find answers about the fate of Delphi, Dylan stormed through Fleet Headquarters and didnโ€™t give a damn whether he was supposed to be there or not.

Someone had to know how The Enemy got through the lines and, if they didnโ€™t, theyโ€™d better damned well find out, and soon.

Again, there's a distinction made between matters of honor (governed by precedent) and things like regulations & standards. Whether cars drive on the left or right isn't a *moral* thing, by their lights.

But violating standards to the point of what we'd call fraud is not good.
