It's described as hijacking already extant self-replicators more than itself being a self-replicating Von Neumann machine kind of deal. It also seems like it would only do that on a planet the PM aliens can live on, so if it were to hit a poorly scouted planet that has life but isn't habitable for them, it'd just fail. But PM tech is all sort of mysterious and unexplained because it's incomprehensibly advanced.

Honestly in some ways leaving things unexplained is better. Not to jump back on the BSG derail too much, but the later seasons once questions started getting answered it ultimately was less interesting than the mystery.

The irony of the GRRM worry, considering one of the authors was GRRM's personal assistant who left to start writing these books is hilarious.

I mean I guess reverting to neo-feudalism has some perks.

I find it a little funny that for Nancy Gao they cast an actress named... Lily Gao.

Lily Gao is the Pete Buttgieg Stand-In someone who has been calculating a path to the presidency from as young as possible.

Humans will also be fine. We are very hard to kill. Technological human civilization at its current state, that's the question.


Yep. Though it's a hydrocarbon mix, not just liquid methane. poo poo's cold. But everywhere out there is, Titan isn't unusually cold.

That's one thing I thought was a bit weird about the Expanse, I always figured Titan would be a lot more developed or used in the setting. Then again that might be eclipse phase leaking in where the Titan Commonwealth is one of the biggest factions in the setting.

Alistair Reynolds House of Suns is my reccomendation for an interstellar story space opera with no FTL.

This is proof goons did a better job leading Mars in our Aurora 4x Fanfic of The Expanse than they did in this game.
