In reply to Oak (msg # 31):
"There are many factions. Some prey on others, some trade, some exploit, some seek to avoid others. But most are still in the Long Sleep between the Stars. The Family, annoying snots, wake first, and they claim this Tree is theirs to tend from the Creator. Nonsense, I'd say, but I have to admit I'm more agnostic about it then I used to be. They have no technology, not even the wheel, if you can believe it.
Then we, our kind wake. We are Transhuman. Virtual matter, AI's, pocket fusion cells, that kind of thing. I have to admit, that thing in your brain is pretty impressive. My side, the Alliance of...Freedom wants to be free of the hypocritical, self-righteous Aesir, who style themselves as the Norse gods.
The Marsh are waking now. I think they are aliens. We trade them tree parts for information. The Yanthak, are, I think some sort of technobio weapon, intelligent but very, very focused. And they hate the Marsh for some reason. They'll wake soon.
The Burazi,well they are beautiful, but never turn your back on t hem. Not sure if they're alien....they say they are, but they have butterfly DNA. They will wake soon."
