SURVEILLANCE

I've tried to be as accurate as possible, but dealing with time in a universe that has both chronological and biological time can get confusing. If there are any discrepancies from the novels, please let me know (with sourced page numbers) and I'll correct it. Thank you and enjoy!

FOOTNOTES

¹ All of my main characters have 2 ages: a biological age and a chronological age. This is because of the time dilation effects of space travel, the use of 'leap points' to shortcut through space and the contrast of it all to people who live on fixed objects like planets and space stations. For example, someone like Cairo Azarcon spent the first 12 years of his life on a planet. After that age he spent much of his time traveling through deep space and a certain amount of inconsistent relative time. This has made his biological age much younger than his chronological age — he appears to be in his late twenties/early thirties, but his EHSD age by the beginning of CAGEBIRD is 47. I am, of course, not a physicist and this science is very soft. I ask you to suspend your disbelief and just go with it for fun.
