Ah, little Jet Kitten, power is no problem if you have a handy dandy pocket antimatter reactor. This is beside the point that a magnetic field strong enough to retain an atmosphere is also strong enough to straighten out your DNA molecules.

2018-07-14 03:00:15 +0000 UTCYes, I had not thought of that. Sort of a Catch-22. You have to know the language in order to learn the language.

2018-07-14 02:00:54 +0000 UTCAbout Darmok, there was a post floating around G+ or Facebook about how impossible it would be to learn Darmok as a child. You'd need another language to teach you all the context that allows Darmok to work. It's like they are speaking in ideograms.
