I haven't met Jetshard, I do intend to introduce myself to them when things settle down a bit.
[Angela relaxes in turn - being in the presence of someone who she knows has common interests and goals is comforting in this strange environment. At the question she nods briefly before launching into a summary.]
I specialize in applied nanobiology. Our technology level is quite advanced, but perhaps not as advanced as this station's. We have pioneered breakthroughs in medical technology, particularly in cyber implants and stabilizing technology.
There are robots, though none quite as advanced as you and your siblings. We refer to them as omnics. Omnics are produced by omniums, automated robotics factories that were built with self-improving software algorithms which eventually became self-aware.
[She inhales deeply, trying to think of what else might be pertinent.]
Space travel and colonization is in its early stages, with the most recent experiment going very poorly. Space gorillas, as it turns out, can rebel in spectacularly violent ways. One of them is actually a pioneering scientist who has mastered personal time stabilization.
As for magic, I am of the opinion that it does not exist in my world. The Shimada family is known for their control over "spirit dragons" but I have never seen it in action. Omnic monks claim that they have souls. I suspect my opinion on the nature of a "soul" is probably clear.
