: I think what you mean is the pfhor and the UESC are behind the Jjarro in
: cyborg engineering. The pfhor weren't the only ones pirating tech they
: don't understand.
Later in the same conversation that sparked this idea, it was suggested that perhaps the Pfhor are so far behind humans in the AI technology because of their policy of destroying Jjaro technology ever since the incident with the Drinniol and the Cybernetic Junction.
And now that I think about it, that is an incidence of the Pfhor being at least adequately adept at cyber-organic integration long before encountering the S'pht, since we know that the subsequent Drinniol revolt was before the Nakh revolt which was before the S'pht revolt.
Although now I suddenly find myself wondering if I made a huge assumption in piecing together that timeline: knowing the order of those three revolts doesn't tell us where either of the first two falls in relation to the enslavement of the S'pht. Could it be possible that the Drinniol revolt and the Nakh revolt both happened some time in the past 1000 years since the S'pht were enslaved, so the Pfhor could have already had cybernetics technology they stole from the S'pht to do the implanting of that Drinniol?
