here is the beginning of an explaination


the inspiration is a story i heard about the colonization of mars. i don't
know if it is true, but that doesn't change my feelings about it.

a ship goes out the journey takes so long that the people who arrive are
actually the generation after those who left home. these people would be
born with no exposure to virus etc, so they would need to have their
immunities boosted artificially. this is achieved by implanting nanites
into their bodies.

the limited crew members would limit the amount of generations before
inbreeding. The first solution is to hold biosamples and implement
cloning.

since these nanites are essentially electronic robots they need a power
source. since batteries or capacitors would eventually wear down, and size
is a major issue, developers took a more biological route. there was
discovered a single celled organism which spun. its entire life consisted
in making clockwise(?) rotation. this organism provides the biomass to
drive the motors etc...

the first step once the ships reach the planet is terra forming. this is
achieved by spreading over the surface of the atmosphere a single celled
plant, which would convert the atmosphere from carbon dioxide to
breathable oxygen.

these ideas set the stage for the world of annex.

the annexbot is the colonist. a robot designed to scout potential planets
for their usefulness. within them is the seed of the navigator. their cns
core is a generating nerve sample taken from the navigator. as the sample
grows, the annexbot becomes the navigator.

the navigator has never been on the surface of a planet. His body having
never been subject to gravity is nearly totally atrophied.
