And sure, definitionally, that's not an orbit, but do you reeeeeaally want them to have to explain what they mean with more babble-y words?It's like, on the one hand, it's not exactly right in two ways (the "low" being much worse, geo does just mean earth not Earth), but did anyone not understand what they meant? If think if they audience mostly gets what you mean, and it's not like, grossly wrong in some way (like confusing cells and molecules or something), it's probably okay.Never ask a woman* her age or Pelia about what she was doing during the Eugenics wars!I mostly** josh of course, I love Pelia, Carol Kane is god-tier and I never felt more connected to her when she went through a box of junk she'd inexplicably kept and pulled out some dreadful electronics from the 1980s/1990s. Also the line about finally being happy she lived through the 1980s lol.* = Especially Pelia.** = I feel like Pelia has the moral flexibility and survivor's instinct that she's probably been on the "wrong" side of quite a large number of conflicts historically. Just not ultimately the losing side or at least the part of that side that suffered consequences. I mean that's how you live on Earth for literally thousands of years without being like, that much harder to kill than a human (I assume she's not particularly hard to kill, I could be wrong, maybe she's basically a Highlander-style being, we know next-to-nothing about Lanthanites).</blockquote>
