Heh, you totally made me post a bit I took out of this part (because it was supposed to be about the puddlejumper) - may or may not put it in the next part, but for the time being:
“[The Meens] are descended from those of the first ancestors,” he explained. “According to the stories, they helped the Hardies defeat the Wraith with the Genii.”
“OK, you’re bowling me over with the names,” said Nell. “Who are the Hardies?”
“They favoured the Hards,” Toran said, then flashed her an apologetic grin. “I fear some of the origins have become unknown to us. They were scientists; they mostly stayed with the Genii – Lexia’s family were Hardies.”
“You know this Lexia pretty well, huh?” asked Nell blandly, glancing over at the red-haired woman.
“Yes; our parents were friends on Genia. Did you want to…?” He gestured in Lexia’s direction, and Nell shook her head.
“No! No, it’s fine. I’m sure we’ll meet later. So, you had the Meens and the Hardies – who else?”
“The Soffies. They travelled further, split into many groups. As I said before, the first ancestors separated across the stars. But we are all…”
“All brothers. Yeah. I get it.” Nell smiled and bumped his shoulder with her own.
Um, yeah, I totally remembered about Pluto. It's not like I'd just forgotten it had been downgraded from being a planet... *looks shifty*
As for Brotherhood, hey, that's the Genii name. As we know, they are made of fail...
