You could totally enslave mats to clean your water and remove pollution, waste products... No, seriously.
The Namilee wouldn't have met the mats, I think. MAYBE they heard of 'em? Maybe? Depends on where the mats are located in space.
@HaelBTW, I am working on my sheet and it occurred to me people would probably notice the aliens scouring planets clean of life with zero regard for any inhabitants before plopping down disgusting microbial mats and colonizing those worlds.

I'm stuck wondering if people would have tried to intervene in the past.


Maybe someone that tried to kill it with fire instead got killed in fire?
I'M ON A HIIIIGHWAY TO HELL

x'D And here I was thinking that maybe he/she had just always been transgender (mentally/emotionally, I mean), but nope. It's random gender changes for SCIENCE.

The Namilee are an odd people, Short.


Well, there are definitely Namilee that ARE mentally/emotionally trans. It's for those people that Dylaesa is using herself as a guinea pig. She's just trying to make sure that everything works out fine, etc.

And, of course, Dylaesa, while doing this for science, got married and had children. While that was done out of romantic attraction, it was also done for science.

Yes. Namilee are weird. Namilee are very weird.

EDIT: So, yes. A male Namilee turned himself into a female, and then she got married to a male Namilee and had children... for science.

xD I'm sorry to make you awkward.

But hey, I guessed that it would be Dylaesa being transgender that you were referring to. So I'm at least glad to know I was right

If you don't mind my asking, though, why doesn't she just change back? If she can change from male to female, then couldn't she fix her condition just as easily?


You're going to snort at the answer, but it essentially comes down to this:

For science.

No, seriously. She's studying the long-term effects of replication technology manipulating genes. The longer she remains female, the more data she collects.

Yes, that's it. Really.

It's dorky as sin.

Okay, I wasn't gonna ask, but now my curiosity has gotten the better of me- what is it?


Well... Okay: so, I've played a TON of character types in the past, but one thing I realized when I was writing up the Namilee leader, Dylaesa, was that I've never played a character that's trans. And I figured "Well, I already decided the Namilee have technology that can make that happen. Why not?"

But I frankly feel pretty darned awkward about having made that decision. At the same time, though, I want to go through with it because I've never RP'd that in a character before.

It's not going to be a huge detail in the story or anything, though. Frankly, given the Namilee way of looking at things, there's an incredibly good chance it'll never get mentioned IC.

Either way: I'm stepping outside of a comfort zone, but that's what RP is for.

(That awkwardness concerning the topic is why I avoided mentioning it earlier when it was just Grave asking, actually. It's actually extra awkward because, in all actuality, the character's genes match their new gender due to the genetic tampering done with replication tech. So... weird stuff overall.)
@Shorticus

So I was trying to find music that would say fit the X'Cor arrival and then I found this


Dunno how well that one tickles my fancy TBH. I love a lot of Darkest Dungeon music, but that's not a favorite for me.
Aaaaand posted! I hope everyone that got mentioned in the first IC post is okay with that. I can remove it if it's unpopular.
