RE: Your explanation of Rose's infodump - the thing that starts off as a chessboard and gets gradually developed by prototyping isn't *Skaia* - it's the *battlefield*, which is contained/housed/something by Skaia, which seems to exist independently of prototypings/etc.

Ah, the one little issue I see with your post is that you keep referring to the chessboard as “skaia”. It’s more properly the Battlefield, with skaia being the entire cloud-business it usually resides in. I’m pretty sure somewhere in the comic Skaia was referred to as a realm of pure imagination potential, which is why the battlefield matures inside it like an egg in a womb.
-Holy hell, I just realised. If Skaia is the universe’s womb, then the battlefield is an egg and the universe tadpole is the sperm. YAY SYMBOLISM.
And yes, you guys are absolutely correct. Silly me! I'll go fix the post.
