"It took me years to realize that Inca and pre-Columbian architecture is directly related to the structure of the corn kernels. In a western model of thought, one might judge the shapes as irregular, but in a universal thought, everything is a correlation between the cosmos, science, art and humanity. Fractal nature.
As you can see, the organic growth forms are represented in a logarithmic way, and the fact that these pentagonal, hexagonal and heptagonal blocks coincide with the corn forms." - Juan Casco
Note: The lack of symmetry in the walls helps dissipate the energy of the earthquakes. They were incredible engineers. Japanese researchers studied Machu Picchu after the Kobe earthquake and realized that these Inca structures had not been damaged by an earthquake.

"Why do they have a separate break room? And why is it sealed off from the rest of the ship with genetic locks?"
"Humans have an unusual level of resistance to a wide range of toxins. They drink caffeine for fun."

re: wugu 

I have updated my romanisation today, but unfortunately there's one letter of it that I can't figure out how to do on my phone:

ı̣

That is a dotless i with an underdot, and it represents the vowel [i] with a low tone.
