That's an interesting take. I'd never thought about the multi-tasking of superiors actually being a form of superior task-switching. To offer a different take (or perhaps a latter setting... |

Thread: Solsys Civil War Virch (EG Article)
Post: RE: Solsys Civil War Virch (EG Article)

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
