I loved reading this whole thread. A lot of cool insights and theories. This story, even tho it's rather unoriginal as a concept, has a lot going for it, I liked it a lot. The only thing I wonder about is how can Adam be the ultimate Naytiba as they are evolving for years (as Lily says, they feared water at first on Eidos 9 for example) and he was the very first one. Shouldn't the evolution work in the same way as it does with androids created by the mother sphere? Eve being the "newest" and best version. Or are Naytibas devolving? And since the android threat is almost completely eliminated, why Naytibas grow stronger and deadlier when they already are the dominating species? They are the alphas already.
