Welcome, @katryn!

[quote]There must have been intelligence, once, in the sector that
gave Brobdignag birth. Brobdignag was someone’s foolish triumph of femtoengineering. Simple, uniform, asentient, voracious—Brobdignag can transmute any element, harvest voidenergy, fabricate gravity, bend space-time to its purpose. Brobdignag does not evolve; its replication is flawless across a googol iterations. Brobdignag was no accident—someone made it
as a weapon, or a game.
All the worlds that someone knew—all the planets and stars
for a hundred light-years in every direction—are now within
the event horizon of a black hole. Around that black hole
seethes a vast cloud of tiny Brobdignag— the ultimate destructive machine, the death of all that is not precisely itself.
And Brobdignag spreads fast.[/quote]

It is Friday, there’s a new Lounge in town and I need to get my drink on. Sadly I’ve a few hours left until it is not a CLM to imbibe.

The Phantom Menace is of course awful, but bringing @othermichael into a sanitized BBS would be a mistake of monumental proportions.

A mistake that we’re just going to have to make
