Re: Dolphins

Beth, you're a marine biologist, right?  (Sssh, don't tell him about the
flukey things you study... let him assume what he wants... <grin>)

Just for the rest of you, I am not currently doing anything with
dolphins
(hard to find in 6 mm) for my DS 2 games but (other than Red Dawn) the
planets I use as background do have (in one case native) intelligent
life
lurking in the seas - range from about 50 to about 80 per cent of their
surfaces.  Unknown in all but one case to the governments involved -
Cotu
has the presence of at least two alien sea dwelling groups - the
not-Nektons [think cannibalistic South African Frogs with sonic weapons
and they are extremely paranoid with at least  moderate xenophobia] and
the not-Klackons [although currently not openly showing their presence
the usual attitude is "Trade, then eat the traders if they are foolish
enough to be unarmed."]

And the amount of dolphin-ness is till hazy for this native life form. 
This is very much an exploratory item in my mind right now, very open to
mutation.

Gracias,
Glenn
