[QUOTE="hewligan, post: 3270255, member: 19688"] The Zoo (stolen from a Sci-Fi book by Alistair Reynolds): An unfathomably large structure, interwoven pipes each large enough to house planets, all closed off from one another by valves, but opening randomly for periods of time before closing again. During the openings, other races trapped within the zoo will filter in, some trying to find a way out, some forgetting when their people first arrived here. A giant zoo of a long gone species - they fetch their specimens by long forgotten traps. Korinath: A living planet, river-like veins that criss-cross the pale grey flesh-like surface, a constant thrumming from within, the dreaded valley of teeth, pits of fetid fluid, and the burrowing, ferocious, mindless worms that gorge through the flesh, leaving room-sized burrows and massive cavernous hollowings, the walls encrusted and bloodied. There is pain here, and little renewal, and the dreaded fear of those who cling to existence that the worms are becoming too many, too ravenous, too quickly. [/QUOTE]
