Interesting; I'll make note of that. I suppose in your world, you have most matters of life and society down to a well-studied science.

Yeah. There're people that'll still hold faith over science though, if you push them.

[This next part takes a while, but this is Ceasar's brother, and Ceasar is almost a companion to her, so she adds it. Albert probably won't realize what the admission is to her] To my people, a "day" was the time it took the voidworld to orbit it's suns -- 285 standard days. The planet spun at the same speed that it revolved, so "day" and "year" are the same. To clarify time, we used "cycles," which are about forty-five standard years.

I suppose that doesn't help though.

Faith will always its way into society. There will always be those that see more than what logic dictates.

Your system seems much more complexed since things span out beyond one planet. It doesn't much help coming up with something here, but it provides a huge contrast to others' norm. What was the average lifespan of someone in your world?

My people... before the Collapse we lived to be a little over four cycles. Some of our elders reached five. But a long, long time ago we made an exchange which decimated our planet and changed our species. We live forever now... or so we assume. I myself am now close to some eighty-nine cycles in age, with the only lasting side-effect being my memory.
