Journally to Pronost
Important to this narrative is the Journally our Iandor made to the Planet Pronost of the Pronostc. Although Warps were legal methods by which humeins traveled, Iandors traveled in spirit vessels commonly called Angels, devas, Allies, etc. Since these vessels were infinite, every living being had one. The ones attached to an Iandor were different from those attached to a rose however. Iandor's vessel was attuned to heir function as a protective travellor.
We shouldn't forget that Clones have developed a third means of travel to get around the restrictions of Mitometropol authorities: the use of warp beams meant to carry trade goods and resources from system to system. These were dangerous. Many died due to faulty transmission. Others bore scars from the accidents attendant from warp beams. (Clones being who they were, gloried in any distortion of "normal" Clone modes. Some courted accidents for the wild changes that resulted. However a gene gun fired into your mouth brought unintended consequences with less danger of death.)
Kinoye, the abyss of the Colstry our Iandor was called to, hated Clones. As a key advisor to Frege, the Architecture of TENDERLY, it was his influence that kept the population in the low billions. In fact, his plan to dial the population down to 3 billion was up for immediate implementation.
Our Iandor had never experienced life on a humein PlanetCity. The environments of other Intelligent species (shey had innovated in several dozen despire heir busy schedule) was rarely what you would call urban. The Pronostc for instance lived in what could be called a state of nature. Their population was several hundred thousand, spread around a Jupitor-class planet.(Clasifications were inherited from the otherwise lost past of Earth.) Although the Prnostc were formidable creatures averaging six humdred pounds, with six limbs to go with an immense head and torso.
Our Iandor was thrilled at heir first sight and using heir self-sontained machinery, it took heir several days to bulk up sufficiently to attain the size of an adult.
The experience of a Pronstc was as thrilling as their sight was chilling. Our Iandor could never get enough of heir inherited speed and agility and spent a lot of line time frolicing! Other Pronostc shey encountered took heir for a child with an outsized bodies. Very soon anamolies of various kinds led them to think heir deranged. (It was the success of the descent that no Iandor was ever suspected of extraChthonic origen. It was the difficulty of readjustment even with the hands on help, so to speak, of a Vessel that cuased manyu visitiing Iandors to be put under "psychiatric observation" or even interned institutionally.)
Bacause of the size of planet Pronost, our Iandor was able to avoid getting on anyone's nerves. Since time had no real meaning so ong as heir Vessel was attending heir, our Iandor was able to explore for many otherwise illusory months.
The result was part of the fabric of heir fatality - shey fell in love with the Pronostc. One in particular.
Love among the Pronostc
