Head you can play with, I'm guessing, so long as you have the organs somewhere?As to your questions:Just curious, but why does she(?) need to be a half breed? Unless Jemal has some indications otherwise, that would indeed seem to be entirely unlikely... unless it was deliberate? Say your other race is so strange in thought/custom, that they (or us, or both together) needed to build an organic bridge between them to communicate? A living translator equipped with the wiring of both species? Jemal did say that we had one extra-galatic species in the deck if we wanted to use it. That could be your parents. Of course, the reasons behind the "deliberate" might be more personnal (love comes to mind), though then you have to have had fairly powerful parents to have managed the interbreeding feat with ressources they commanded (doesn't have to be *your* parents though, nothing says the new breed has to be infertile (though probably only with itself without outside help, granted)).By the by, if you're still going with your less gravity, higher pressure idea, you'll need some constant replenishing source injecting gas into the system (say accelerated degasing of the mantle or something, so heavy volcanic activity?), or dropping the gravity will automatically drop your air pressure as well... Unless there's something preventing the atmosphere from leaking into space or something? Eh... A Dyson Shell/Niven Ring would seem to fit that bill nicely, actually, now that I think about it! What do you think? If you or your parent race is extra-galactic, the entire megastructure, star included, might be their spaceship, presently anchored near the shallows of our own milky way...</blockquote>
