Extrasolar? Hell, it's a good bet these bad boys are all over the Jovians, Asteroids, etc.

Hey guys - I am now starting to ramp up a bit for Mass Effect 3. Some of you might be thinking I'm a little LATE on this. But I effectively stopped playing and replaying Mass Effect for 3-4 months. I think part of it was just that there was not going to be any more Story DLC releases for ME2. But part of it was that I didn't want to replay the games to the point of "burn out" on them. And I wanted to distance myself from some of the early rumor mill on ME 3. I'll still likely indulge in some spoilers to the story before the game is released, but I wanted to minimize it. At any rate - I'm starting to get a bit back into reading fanfic and perusing the LJ forums for Mass Effect. I'm wanting to be sure I didn't MISS anything important while I was "gone".
Okay - as Bill Cosby said, "I told you that story to tell you this one."
I was over at the Mass Effect LJ and going through post comments when someone threw these links out.
A writer for the first Mass Effect game (and parts of the 2nd) who no longer works at Bioware, has started putting out some "unofficial dev blog" essays on the creative process and how parts of the Mass Effect universe back story got decided upon.
The reason I'm re-posting the links here is that I think some of the process and theory is something that at least some of you might find relevant to building the Fenspace world. At the very least, I know some of you are fans of Mass Effect like I am. ^_^ (And surely there's a tiny faction of Mass Effect fanboys in fenspace as well?)

Sometimes, you need to spray Handwavium onto something, and commercial applicators are either too expensive to get out of the well for a one-shot, or are unavailable in the timeframe you need them.
On the other hand, with the (im)proper application of Handwavium, this would likely make a nice way to recycle drink bottles into something else.

LMAO!!!
And it would work, too. Just replace the three with Ben, Gina and Mayonaka, and then all the Denizens with Jesses. Including the one sitting on top of the 'Bauble Bazooka' - that one will be wearing a mischievous smile.
