So just finished the third book. Even though it's a short read Ryk has tossed a lot of info in there. It seems that the person/people that created Dieter (the program behind the BD plague) left and if I am reading it right they left to set out their own world and their trip would take over a hundred years so that means that they are at least as far out as the people in the Pentaurus sector.. I wonder if one of the founding ships that settled that area is that group.
I thought the very same...
However, Dieter mentions he has been monitoring newscasters for 500 years... The Pentaurus Cluster is almost 1000 light years away from Earth, so, by the time the biodigital plague is over his controllers have been travelling around 600 years, so quite close... I have always wondered how fast a colony can grow in order to terraform a planet and become an empire as the T’Akar or even way bigger as the Jung...
@demian I believe what Dieter meant was that he had reviewed the records of news broadcasts for the past 500 years. Not that he had been around to see them personally.
Honestly, I'm curious to see whether his controllers will be the next big threat that Nathan and his team will encounter. And whether Cassan will indeed escape Earth to establish his empire.
@darkscribe Hmmm... if that were the case, why monitor/check 500 years of newscasters? I understood he was around all that time waiting for the one who could comply with the profile...
