But unlike the movie Avatar, anyone that sits in the operator chair can operate him and when no one is in it, the AI runs him. Junior researchers mostly operate him. Asgard is their experiment.

Other than that, it isn’t too far off from what I was envisioning when I started writing about Kara all those years ago. Tomlins are green bipedal reptiles with large T-Rex style heads, roughly 1.4 meter tall and were the first outside race that…
