Thanks Garrett, means alot coming from you. And I will (keep writing that is).
Jillie, no offence taken, I was just stating the reality of the matter. If you could narrow down anything you are finding too unbelievable or have found a plot conflict, I can take another look.
Pretty much in its finished form now, unless someone pokes some eyegougingly huge holes in it I won't be changing the intro from here on out. I do intend to add a bit more to the seconds post, just to give some insight into the inner politics and thought processes of an alien race.
Just reviewing the comments now and see I was asked to include Wilde in with Nomads as hostile. As the Etherium have no actual knowledge of infestations or the Nomad ability to "possess" a victim, I'm going to leave them where they are. This could allow the Nomads via Wilde to get closer to the Etherium without their knowledge and learn of the situation that way.
Update - Have added more content to post 2, and now have a solid timeline to bring everything into sync. Thanks to everyone that has had input in the way of constructive critisism, guidance and feedback. I am still open to ideas and concepts, but am pretty happy with the content given so far and would like to keep it in one piece and don't foresee any major changes.
