Did anybody see what happened to the spider experiments box over near the airlock? I could have sworn that was where I left it.

They went down to the planet and enslaved the ants that live there.

I understood that reference.

Not before the ants danced at a rock

I might need to split my mind in two and wait a thousand years to get this one

Portia approves of this message.

You’ll have to remind me, was that the leader or the rebel?

EDIT: Wait, without looking it up, I just realized they only gave a name to the leader. Is that right?

She was the main character, she was a high priest, warrior who "defeated" the ants, hunter, etc. Portia was the name given to the main guy of the story.

Yeah, but isn’t that name passed down? It has been a while since I read Children of Time (haven’t read the rest of the series). I swear there are multiple spiders over the span of the plot that are given the name.

I think it's the name given by the author for the reader's sake and not their "real" name. I think he says in the beginning, let's call her portia . Their names are said in taps of their limbs. And are probably different for different portia over the history of the series. I may be mistaken.

Guess I have a reason to continue the series.

I read up to the second book. The third book is a little more philosophical for my taste. If you haven't read the second i highly recommend it.
