good introduction of who melog’s origins. For a being who’s 9million years old, he seem less contemplative in his thoughts than I would have expected.

Actually he’s more like 155million years old (a mere teenager in geological terms), and he’s a technology freak. and he’s been augmenting himself with human tech. I had hoped this idea would come across.

After a bit more thinking, I realized that you meant: in this ficlet he’s 9 million years old. That is true, but to stone-giants 10 million years is like a single year to us. so technically (in this story) he’s still a baby. Maybe I’ll write a prequel to clarify this.
