Have been thinking about the implications of our being here. Imports, that is. Incident with Vulcanus sparked contemplation. Superpowers, supernatural, super tech, all introduced into world previously unfamiliar with such things. Power implies responsibility for how it’s used.

Shame that. But, aside from pastry, it'll happen eventually, won't it? Some nefarious individual'll come along and offer their own brand out for profit, if nothing else. Can't beat human nature.
