The farming town of Apla was notable only, perhaps, for the vast depression in its claypan soil: a crescent which, when viewed from high above, was said to evoke the belly of a great beast in repose. The villagers whispered that the valley had been left behind by one of the terrible dragons felled by the Geda Astami in the time of conquest. There was no written record to corroborate such a claim, only the oral tradition of the local grandmothers.

We must also be mindful of potential downstream effects of introducing a neural bridge to an otherwise null brain. It has been suggested that, once a single bridge is introduced, the brain may become more receptive to additional bridging, which would prove extraordinarily useful if it can be predicted and controlled or extraordinarily dangerous if not. The authors are optimistic about the potential applications of, for example, bridging implants which could allow long-distance communication between parties, mind-to-mind; however, additional study is required to confirm these applications and to evaluate the risks thereof.
