[RFC] Being You is Deculture

[Black Aeronaut]

Well, consider that, canonically speaking, the only survivors on Earth were the very few that had taken shelter in one of the incomplete Grand Canons, and I seriously doubt that Mao would have been alive at that point without Garrick being there to butterfly things regardless.

Sheryl Nome, in this case, could only exist one of two ways: Either 1) Able was made through the mass cloning process, or B) There would be a limited (and highly expensive) space liner run between Earth and Megaroad-1.

The second is eminently doable because the main reason why they're plodding along so slowly is because they're not only out there as a colony ship, but also to scout ahead. Besides, long distance jumps like that have their own perils - it helps having a dimensional transponder to home in on, along with a designated space relative to that transponder's location for inbound space fold traffic.

EDIT: Also, I had no idea that Sheryl was a direct descendant of Mao, let alone so close that she's actually Mao's granddaughter. After all, it wasn't as if Mao and Sara could not have had cousins.
