If not Hamish, certainly did. Also I bet Ariel and Monroe have one too.

Un huh. And I wouldn't have wanted to be Hamish trying to explain the plumbing to Samantha. I hope he left it up to Honor. Or better yet, Nimitz. I can imagine her signed response...
<I have to put what where? Are you kidding me!>


But the memory song of Nimitz'... experience, should have already been assimilated into treecat knowledge I think, making it a short leap to a female treecat's adaptation. I suppose.

I'd have to say it's the life extension therapies and the regeneration therapies.

Imagine a life long enough to answer all those little questions, and the ability to fix any incidental damage from the hands-on investigating.

Or imagine having the opportunity of a few do overs. No longer a need to wish you were twenty-yrs-old again. Just do it all over at seventy-five. Then again at one-hundred-fifty. Prolong provides resets.

I also liked Adam Gerrick's particular incorporation of Crystoplast - a real humanitarian effort. Don't ask me why it reminds me of Scotty's "clear steel" from Star Trek's The Voyage Home.

I also liked a certain character in the Honorverse's reintroduction of old Old Earth technology. Honor Harrington's .45. Because there are times when an old school's Smith & Wesson's bullet to the head will do juuuust fine.

Indeed you are right George. Transparent aluminum. Thanks for the correction...

You know the trek universe is real...

Transparent Aluminum Oxide - 3x stronger than steel

That's right - you can but it today... Thanks Scotty!

I like the Treecat Skinsuits, too!

I wonder if anyone comes to the idea to create some "external" claws to the Suits! The cat push their claws out, at the outside of the Skinsuitgloves some Titanium-Diamond or so claws push out.

Prolong has also a lot! The excuse "have no time" will not count so often anymore with Prolong!
