Reading about Lamotrigine and (on IUS and very tiny chance we change minds but) tiny chance of preggo eventually, so I keep clicking and get to https://www.reddit.com/r/BabyBumps/comments/14qzykw/anyone_here_had_their_first_baby_after_35_looking/

Then 3D print organs from your own cells' (modified) DNA.

Expensive and experimental? Absolutely. Impossible to ever succeed? Absolutely not.

On Vesta a plant is also a sensor, a fungus a map, and a vivid colour a warning. In the Glassleaf Littoral salt‑skins retain footprints for hours; in the Hushwood breath‑moss reflects your fear. Survival means learning what the world already does.

Each step etches a pattern into the pond’s translucent film. Move regularly and it contracts, pulling you toward the reeds.

I'm still working on my new system, which I've decided to call (for now) "Aetherfall". In doing this I've been thinking about how I want to make a variety of races with scientific underpinnings.
