Welcome friendly readers. Thanks for being here.
This week we’ve been exploring the Encyclopedia Galactica. Yesterday we looked into the Taxians. Today let me introduce you to the Fordians, the very first alien species we met. that was back in Max Gavaskars prime time. The story is told in the novelization of the time called “Kusha”.
It was the Fordians who first began calling Max “The Mother”. That was after her first big insight.
We were quite impressed the the Fordians. They had been traveling space for several hundred thousand years. Naturally we assumed them to be highly evolved and significantly smarter than humanity.
Not necessarily so. Turns out that the Fordians are not all that bright. Don’t get me wrong I like the Fordians I have met, they are very nice people, (most of them) but they are not the fastest computer on the desk.
The Lor and the Tax both believe that the Fordians became simple minded over the years. They achieved spaceflight early on in their evolution then seemed to stop growing.
What I do like about the Fordians is their commitment to family. More on this tomorrow.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
