Immortality

Intro

List

• "Death's Other Dominion": A lost human space mission's survivors have found themselves mysteriously immortal, on the planet Ultima Thule. The prices: no children, stagnation, inability to leave the planet without immediately dying.
• "End of Eternity": The Progrons (according to Balor) banished mortality, via science. According to him, the lack of a threat of death left their people not striving, and instead decaying, becoming corrupt. He tried to reinstill this via torture and pain, and was cast out, into eternal imprisonment.
• "The Dorcons": The Dorcons have found a transplant of a Psychon's brain stem into their bodies confers what they consider immortality. That Psychons have been hunted for some time, yet the current Archon is seeking this treatment (capturing Maya in hopes of using her brain stem) implies that those who have received it in the past end up killed in political intrigue, severe accidents, or that the "immortality" is a relative term, perhaps semi-propagandistic.

Comments

• Though many sentient mortals are of course curious about immortality, Helena and especially Victor seem fascinated any time it comes up, either medically, scientifically, or perhaps personally.
