Of Sentience and Predator

B1: The Ultimate Weapon

That didn't take very long, I guess. Kinda didn't post the art to the Tumblr but in my defense, there's nearly 40 characters I still need to post that originate from season A so Imma just ignore that for now...

And now we're back to our usual schedule of every Saturday. :)

Sparksville was calm, all things considered. Reconstruction basically began immediately with the help of twin Segmentasapiens who were in the Dragoon. The male of the duo, shaped like a gorilla and colored with dark reds and yellows, helped with the main structure of the builds. The female of the twins, shaped like a monkey and colored with pastels, helped with finer details and decorations. Of course, many others helped with rebuilding.

Currently, the city was somewhat close to being finished with rebuilding, so by popular majority they took a break before pushing for the final stretch.

In the underground city, some of those who helped were gathered in the same building, talking. The Wyrmlings were off to the side with some of the smaller members and EightEight, away from the main crowd.

"Hey, Vice?" Kevin started, getting the Ickthy's attention.

"Hm?" Vice prompted, looking over to him.

"You're from another planet, right? What's it like?" Kevin asked. Vice hummed slightly.

"Gilli-Promenade is very similar to Earth, if more tropical in nature," Vice started. "My home planet is considered a vacation-beach planet by the Milkyway Galaxy Planet Labeling System, the same as a planet like Arburia. It's pretty peaceful, though it doesn't mean there aren't criminals. Although, last I checked, most of the criminals on Gilli-Promenade weren't Ickthyperambuloids at all."

"Really?" Gwen chirped, tilting her head.

"Correct," Vice nodded. "Typically, they're punished under the Milkyway Laws Agreement, but sometimes we do it under the laws of their home planet or the Gillis System Laws. It just depends on which set would be better depending on their situation. I believe the most common law a criminal violates, in terms of the MLA, is either the General Non-Species Specific Violence Act or the Illegal Drugs and Tech List."

"Tech? Why is some technology illegal?" Gwen asked.

"It mostly depends on a planet's tech level," Vice started. "Earth was tech level 2, edging tech level 3 last I heard. ID Masks are level 5 tech, but Earth isn't technically part of the Milkyway Agreement due to not being level 4. Level 4 is roughly the level where a species begins to control their system, so it's typically when other species start to approach them."

"What type of planet would Earth be called?" Gwen asked.

Vice was quiet for a moment before saying, "I would say Earth, if it joined sometime soon the way that is it, would be considered a violent-coral planet."

"Violent-coral?" Kevin blinked.

"Ah, each planet gets two labels, one based on actions and the other based on scenery. For an example that isn't Gilli-Promenade, Lepidopterra's planet label is tension-forest. Tension is very literal, it's always on the edge of civil war, forest due to the fact a majority of the planet is swamplands, but there's a blue forest at its northern pole," Vice explained.

"I suppose humans have a history of violence," Gwen hummed. "I don't under the coral part, though."

"Maybe it's a poorly translated alien word," Ben stated.

"You would be correct," Vice nodded. "For most planets, coral is a catch-all term for a planet with many different biomes. I believe another coral planet is Hathor."
