          In between this arc and when the PCs reach the University, a couple of us used the worldbuilding RPG Beak, Feather, and Bone to flesh out the locations and factions there. While we don’t have audio for that activity, we have the notes and the map we produced. If you don’t mind some spoilers, feel free to check out that session report on our website.

                  • GM Note

                    The nature of wildlife in this episode is directly inspired by real scientific research. Barramundi are a type of coastal fish that can live in both saltwater and freshwater. But as they’re only capable of breeding in saltwater, their expansion on Chiron is thankfully limited. Gale’s natural harpoon is also a real feature of a jellyfish-like creature on Earth. Researchers are actively studying how this works in hopes of improving drug injection in humans. (Nematocyst research: https://repository.arizona.edu/handle/10150/677497)
