Gaia again, this time as an underworld tribe... moving the tectonic plates?!

From the earthquakes happened so far this year, it reminded me that it was predicted a year of frequent earthquakes. From earthquake to chaos, it seemed the Greeks had it: Gaia, in Greek
mythology, was the daughter of Chaos.

I couldn’t help but plot that an underworld tribe bears the name Gaia. No, again it’s not my original idea. There were so many people who had used the name. This time, I used it for a tribe which has dealt with the crustal chaos for so long that they can... move the tectonic plates?

Wow, if they can, then what gigantic, immense power they have !

What about the theoretical plausibility? ...Well, fluid dynamics. The lava, the liquid metal belongs to fluid. If water is powerful, then imagine lava at least a thousand times more powerful than water. The body of mantle drives the seven major and other small tectonic plates. Gaia can move them because... they live with the plates for millions of years and have developed related technology. Even if they can’t move them, they know well enough about the chaos of the plates -- just like watching a sphere of boiling water, that they can avoid the disastrous impact.

If the Gaia tribe messes with us, we are pissed. So, don’t mess with Gaia.

While Lu might not be searching for the beads anymore, I still was. I don’t know the causal relationship; it doesn’t matter whether the future me told Lu who in turn told me. I was thinking about the lotus beads, no ,lotus seeds. And my infant robot in relation to lotus.

I’m not a buddhist just as my kid sister is. But I always like lotus. It was my wish to use the very flora of spiritual ‘superterran’ to associate with a cold, metallic, mechanical robot. Extremes are brought together to contrast, to cross-flow the mind and the body.

The soul and the physical.

I was content in working with this dichotomy.
