Hey,
I'm sorry this question has been asked before. I've been going through the archives for a while now (this'll be my first question) and I haven't come across any references to it, but you never know, right?
Anyway, I just saw a repeat of "Sentinel" last night, and it struck me as a very pilot-esque episode, like you'd set up in mind for a spin off (something like "Widget the World Watcher" meets "Transformers", only more grounded in reality). And yet, you seem to have no intention to spin it off. How come? Did you originally intend to, but decided against it as you felt it wasn't strong enough to carry a series, focusing instead on the other possible spin-offs? Or am I just making things up in my head?
Thanks.
Greg responds...
Mostly in your head.
It was never intended to be a spin-off per se, but it was a plot thread I wanted to pick up again later. MUCH LATER. Like in 2198.

How do Nokkar's people reproduce?
Greg responds...
Behind closed doors.

How is it that the space spawn war hasn't ended after a few thousand years? I mean both sides would have felt the results of the war that they would want to negotiate a treaty.
Greg responds...
So you say.

Would a gargoyle be any different in space than a human? Does their physiology differ that much from ours if they were to be sent into space? And do gargoyles have a lesser tolerance for gravity then us seeing how they are more like birds and bats that have wings? (I would think their skeletal structure would be hollower than that of a human so they could generate lift)
Greg responds...
As I've said before, nothing about Goliath's strength suggests a hollow skeleton to me.
Otherwise, there are going to be some differences. But not obvious stuff like gravity and oxygen and vaccuum.

Would the Space-spawn be curious about magic, or would they be unaware it even really exists on Earth?
Greg responds...
Not gonna answer this 'til contest is over.

Do any of the races involved in the Space-spawn War possess technological time travel?
Greg responds...
Not casually, no.

How many other races besides the Space-Spawn, Nokkar's people and the third unknown race are involved in the intergalactic war? Hundreds? Thousands?
Greg responds...
"involved" is a pretty vague word.
But less than twenty.

If Nokkar's race has a very long natural life span, then wouldn't Nokkar's home Planet be overpopulated?
Nokkar has been on the Earth for 3000 years, obviously he wasn't born on our world and he would have reached adulthood before he came to the Earth. Then he was older than 3000 years when he first came here.
So if all the beings on his home world have long life spans, their death rate wouldn't be very high and their birth rate must be much larger that the death rate.
Or is that most of the race is posted on other Planets, like Nokkar is on Easter Island, looking out for the Space Spawn?
Greg responds...
The birth rate, though higher than the death rate, may still be VERY low. Plus they aren't limited to one planet.
I wouldn't worry about it.

What is the average lifespan of a member of the space-spawn race?
Greg responds...
Don't know.

Was the intergalactic war between Nokkar's people and the Space-Spawn always a hot war or was it sometimes a cold war?
Greg responds...
I can't answer that now.
