"I have to ask you the same question people back home are asking about space these days. Is it worth it? Should we just pull back? Forget the whole thing as a bad idea, and take care of our own problems, at home."
So I left the Mistral name up for a while, but funnily enough whenever I thought about the character/sona, Swiftwind was the first name that came to mind still. On mentally correcting myself, it still didn't feel right, so I'm thinking I'll retcon the retcon. I still really like the clever reference in that Mistral references past history of mine, keeps the wind theme while adding the reference to hir snep fur pattern, and so on, but now that it's been several months without fully clicking, I suppose that's it. Maybe it's just mental inertia.
I'd still like to keep the name though for sue somehow - perhaps I'll flip one of my original ideas I mentioned in the previous journal and use Mistral as a callsign.
Funnily enough, I haven't used Llewelyn in so long for anything that it feels like "Dekafox" is the proper name for myself/dragonself now. No, I'm not going to try to change anything and get into that morass again, but it's an amusing twist that the intentional namechange didn't take, while one old name has basically phased out another without even intending to. It's still not a "real" name and I still intend to keep using the name Llewelyn for my dragon's depictions, but it makes a good "street name." And since we're headed full bore into IRL cyberpunk, minus most of the cool stuff, a good street name is something handy to have!

"No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes, and - all of this - all of this - was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars."
