None of these felt deserving of their own post or much theorizing, but here are just some little things that felt easter-eggy / tid-bits of information meant to entertain the especially dedicated reader lmao.

Earth and Fire: Cassandra 2 is present at the Athens fire

• "This is Cassandra 2. Can’t find Earth 8. Nothing but smoke and burning trees here.”

• Rono later acknowledges that Cassandra 2 was doing ground firefighting at Athens in Earth Prime

Earth and Air: Valeska mentions Jerez

• "Valeska seemed to stop to think for a moment. 'Actually, you’re right about that. The last time I saw Peregrine, he was besotted with Jerez of Cassandra 2.' Gradin raised his eyebrows. 'I don’t think Peregrine stands much chance there.'”

• I think it's funny that Keren is starstruck when he meets Valeska in Earth Prime but she and Gradin apparently know of Jerez in 2788??

Earth Prime: the six raw fish

• "'In which case, you’ll know the contents of the stasis box I excavated during my wedding.' I laughed. 'Six raw fish.'"

• I feel like it's meant to be implied that these six raw fish were put in stasis during the Scavenger Exodus era.

Zeta Sector 2788: I can swim like a fish

• Drago, on a beach: "It was too dark to read the neat inscription about how a boy of 17 had tragically drowned on this beach, but my hand could trace the outline of the larger letters below that had been carved roughly by hand with a laser pen, and I knew exactly what they said. 'Of course I didn’t drown, you idiots. I can swim like a fish!'"

• This one confuses me a little– I took note of it because it uses the exact same phrasing Torrek uses to describe Bard, aka "can swim like a fish." Idk what the intention was with pointing out the inscription on the statue, but my thinking is a) Drago is at the beach of Lake Galad b) some kid did die there, probably a long time ago c) Bard, being funny, added the inscription at some point

• Am I missing something obvious??

Anyway that's all I can think of for now, other than the Drago ice cream incident, which has enough scattered mentions to warrant its own post I think

I was worried that Betha would start questioning me about how my mother had got the inspiration for the Thetis March. I didn’t want to either refuse to reply, or tell her one of the usual banal lies, so changed the subject. Array 2781 (p. 169)

Deltan Escape – (subject to revisions for the final version)

After my great-grandfather’s misguided involvement in both the planetary civil war on Freya and the Persephone incident, the Military could have taken the easy option of allowing one of his many enemies to kill him. (Deltan Escape, ch 1)

demanded Danika. “Are you claiming that my great-grandfather was wise to lead Cioni’s Apprentices into starting a civil war on Freya that they ended up losing, or arguing that the Persephone incident was beneficial to either science or humanity? Surely even you must accept that the events on Gymir were a catastrophic embarrassment.” (Deltan Escape, ch 1)

Earth Star -

to the aftermath of the Persephone incident. Earth Star (Earth Girl series Book 2) (p. 233).

Earth Flight -

but Cioni’s Apprentices went to inhuman extremes. They didn’t just cause the Freya conflict, and the Persephone incident, but the horror of what happened on Gymir. Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (pp. 72-73).

“Your memories and personality had already been recorded by technology developed by Cioni’s Apprentices, and were restored after the brain regrowth,” said Leveque. “The use of this technology was forbidden under the protection of humanity laws after the Persephone incident, so it’s preferable the issue of brain damage does not become public knowledge.” Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (p. 343).

Earth Prime -

He only brought the Persephone technology to help you because my great-uncle Alexander leads Cioni’s Apprentices and made him do it.” Earth Prime (The Earth Girl Aftermath Stories Book 1) (p. 195).

Array 2781 -

(Persephone Incarnate) the problem that many of her own childhood memories had been lost in the Persephone incident. Array 2781 (p. 199).

“Persephone didn’t just lose her childhood memories,” I said sadly. “Her family cast her off as well. The fact she chose to rename herself after the Persephone incident shows how bitter she was about that.” Array 2781 (p. 199).

“I’m not sure that she changed her name out of bitterness,” said Mother. “It might have been a symbolic acceptance that her past was gone forever, and she was moving on to a totally new future life. Array 2781 (p. 200).

Our clan had secrets that couldn’t be shared with outsiders. Hestia 2781 (Drago Tell Dramis) (p. 17)

there was the complicating factor of my grandfather and great-aunt’s parentage and upbringing as well. That information was a closely guarded secret, known only to the Tell clan and the holders of the General Marshal position, Hestia 2781 (Drago Tell Dramis) (p. 40)

I’d only learned the full truth about my ancestry when I was eighteen years old and went through the Tell clan coming of age ceremony. That shattering ordeal… Hestia 2781 (Drago Tell Dramis) (p. 162).

a. Family tree - There were even a few outright lies. Hestia 2781 (Drago Tell Dramis) (p. 162).

I’d learned things during the Tell clan coming of age ceremony that had fundamentally changed my view of myself and everything around me. Every moment from when I’d entered the ritual area to when I learned the Tell clan’s greatest secret was etched into my brain. Array 2781 (p. 73).

I was warned that I’d learn two clan secrets during that ceremony. One that must only ever be known to birth members of the clan, and a lesser one that the clan shares with the holders of the General Marshal position. Array 2781 (p. 136).

Thaddeus Ignatius Wallam-Crane hadn’t just been a genius, but had operated on a mental level virtually unrivalled in human history. He’d given humanity the incomprehensible drop portal technology that crucially allowed travel to other star systems without needing a destination portal to be taken there conventionally first.

Ignatius had said that he was holding back other discoveries though, deeming that the human race wasn’t advanced enough to understand them. Ignatius had left details of those discoveries in what he’d called his time vaults. Five repositories of knowledge here on Earth, and one on each of the first twenty worlds to be colonized. Those time vaults were supposed to release their secrets to the human race in the year 3290, exactly a thousand years after the first successful drop portal experiment. Array 2781 (p. 129)

You belong to two of the original leading clans of the Military Alliance, which have been closely allied to the Tell clan for centuries.” Earth Prime (The Earth Girl Aftermath Stories Book 1) The Real Jerez Rivera (p. 410)

In references to March and Bran clans ...

“Yes, I know all the jokes.” Drago sounded distinctly annoyed. “Members of my clan are capable of getting into life and death situations while buying ice-cream, and we shouldn’t be let out alone,... Earth Star (Earth Girl series Book 2) (pp. 142-143).

“Please don’t tell me that Drago’s been buying ice cream again.” Earth Prime (The Earth Girl Aftermath Stories Book 1) (p. 19)

I’m reliably informed that you can’t even go out to buy ice cream without starting a large-scale Military insurrection on the capital planet of Beta sector.”

I opened my mouth to speak and then closed it again. People had been making ice cream jokes about me for months. Most of them couldn’t know the true facts behind the rumours, because every politician and Military officer on Zeus had been sworn to secrecy, but the General Marshal had the whole of Military Security to collect information for him.

The General Marshal laughed. “Don’t look so worried, Drago. The information I have on that incident is incomplete, unofficial, and anonymous, but enough to convince me that the escalation of events wasn’t entirely your fault. I’ve enough knowledge of Betan history and its clan-based society to understand why the Tell clan would react strongly to the August clan kidnapping you.” (Your Move Drago)

Edited to include additional quotes and references.

since I was two years old and locked evil Nurse Cass in the linen store room.

Edwards, Janet. Earth Star (Earth Girl series Book 2) (p. 1).

Nurse Cass was first mentioned in the Prologue of Earth Star. She wasn't mentioned again until Earth Flight.

“You now have the perfect opportunity to work on that, Commander. I’ve been advised that you have a childhood history of impulsive actions and emotional outbursts, beginning as a 2-year-old when you locked a nurse in a store room, so it would be unwise to allow you to give any live interviews.”

The General Marshal knew about me locking evil Nurse Cass in the linen store room! How the chaos could . . . ?

Edwards, Janet. Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (pp. 139-140).

If it hadn’t been for the leadership of Tellon Blaze, humanity might have lost everything. Earth Star (Earth Girl series Book 2) (p. 39)

No, I mustn’t think of myself as an 18-year-old kid who had no right to be here. I was a Major in the Military and a descendant of the incredible Tellon Blaze. He’d been a cadet on a field trip from the Military Academy, when he got caught on Thetis at the start of the chaos year. He hadn’t wailed he was only an 18-year-old kid, he hadn’t screamed and run from the chimera … Earth Star (Earth Girl series Book 2) (p. 90)

The other command chair dated back to the days of the chimera wars. The last person who’d sat in that chair was Tellon Blaze, and the Military was either too respectful of the chair’s history or too superstitious to remove it, so it had been kept tucked away in a corner of the Command Centre for the last couple of centuries. Hestia 2781 (Drago Tell Dramis) (p. 31).

Remember the real truth behind all the legends about Tellon Blaze. He was planning a career as a professional tennis player. He never attended the Military Academy. He still made himself into the leader that humanity needed to save them from the chimera.” Array 2781 (p. 145).

This isn't all of the quotes about Tellon Blaze, but I thought these were particularly important. If there are others that anyone thinks is also important please feel free to post them.

During Fian’s adoption ceremony:

“I was summoned as Paul was summoned by Kairos.” Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (p. 198).

“I am Dragon Tellonus Dramis and I summoned him. A daughter of our house was lost, as Helena was lost, and he stood with her as Paul stood with Helena.” Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (p. 198).

“Then I accept the precedent of Paul summoned by Kairos, and do not stand against him.” Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (p. 198).

Just before Jarra and Fian's betrothal ceremony when Jarra was told her dress was an exact replica of Helena’s. Helena and Paul are referenced as the greatest love story in Betan history! Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (p. 201).

“Helena was the daughter of Kairos,” continued Dalmora. “She was lost as a baby when . . .” Earth Flight (Earth Girl) (p. 201).

Hi everyone, I am going to tag everyone that has posted here before, so if you aren't interested, please just ignore or come back and check out new postings when you have time.

This category never really took off, so I'm going to create a thread for each of the ones that I can find, I will probably miss some so you can feel free to post new threads too or leave me a comment on my wall, or reply to this post and I will look it up and post a new thread.

Honestly there are so many that I've lost track. The first one I will create is for the Nurse Cass story since we have a resolution on that one and I know where to find the info, once I do that it will give us an idea for others. If anyone has been keeping a running list and they want to share, just copy it as a reply to this post.

Once a thread is created please feel free to add any missed information, any speculation or ideas that you have. That way we will have all of the information and ideas easily available and in their own threads instead of scattered all over.

If I miss anyone my apologies, please just reply and tag the ids that I missed,

Hi all, we have a new Editor, Birdie, that is looking forward to adding new content so with the three of you I hate to have you all duplicate efforts or multiples doing the same research and wasting time. Of course if any of you want to work on an article together that is up to you, too.

So there are a couple ways that it can be handled, either just post here when you have an article idea that you want to work on, new articles, not clean up or additions. This is the simplest so lets try it first.

Just remember that we don't want to add major spoilers for the most recent book as we want to encourage visitors to buy the books so Janet will keep on writing. I know a lot of wiki's do add major spoilers immediately but I would rather we didn't.

If any of you feel that the article formats are too restrictive, they aren't cast in stone and can be changed, but lets talk about it first. As always just ask if you have a question or want to know how to do something! Thank you for your contributions!!!!

For New Members - I just found out from someone else, that per fandom support ..

You have a time limited ability to edit your post, but I am not sure how long that is.

Go ahead, give it a try!!!!!

What are y'all's thoughts on him? I'm conflicted, which I think is what Janet is going for lmao. On the one hand he seems to be really great to Fian and is nothing but kind to Jarra for the brief time they meet, but his relationship with Drago is uhhhhh bad lol. I was just thinking about him as I reread the Drago books and was wondering if anybody else had thoughts

Here are some super rough character sketches I've done recently. The really realistic ones take too damn long lmao. I also impromptu included a bit of a character playlist for Jarra! And I know Keon looks approx 15 years old so let's just say he's meant to be 15 lol

Mine is probably Earth Prime– I love the variety of POVs and the entire next of kin plot line adds a new layer to Jarra's character. Kappa 2788 is definitely my favorite short story. Earth Star is my fav of the main trilogy.

Bonus question: what POV are you most excited for / most hoping for in the second aftermath book – I'm stoked for Marlise's and Gemelle's POVs, and I think a Rono POV would be really fun. Plus I feel like Rono knows a lot about the history (and drama) of Cassandra 2 that he'd actually talk about. Honestly an entire Cassandra 2 novel would probably be really entertaining.

Bonus bonus question: fav character(s)? I am a big fan of Playdon, Rono, Jerez, Drago (of course), Marlise, and Leveque is always fun to read

Just some convo starters since the forum has been more active lately (albeit with just three people... if there are lurkers pls join in) :)

Okay, how do y'all pronounce the following names in your heads?

Drago – So, I read it as "Dray-go" first, and I think that is the natural way to read it. But then his father is named Dragon, which I then started pronouncing as "Dray-gon" in my head before later realizing that is spelled like the word "dragon," and maybe should be pronounced as such? If it is, then is Drago "Draah-go"? That just sounds funny to me. I'm gonna stick with Draygo / Draygon / Drayco

Jerez – I read her name with the English pronunciation of J at first, then realized with the last name Rivera it's probably actually the Spanish pronunciation. This then immediately deepened the rabbit hole I'm in about Language & the sector dialects, but that's for another post. Anyway, how do y'all pronounce Jerez?

Keren – Probably supposed to be pronounced like Karen, but in my head I continue to say "Ker-EN" because I like how that sounds better

Holger – hard or soft G?

Leveque – Levek? Levek-ay?

Jorgen Eklund – Definitely yorgen, which lends credence to jerez being herez

Riak – Rye-ak? Reeak? I switch every time with this one

We know that Hospital Earth randomly assigns first and last names to its wards based on a list that hasn't been updated in a century. Makes enough sense.

This isn't really a question, it's just sort of an observation that I feel there is maybe more to be said about?

Anyway, Keon Tanaka. Tanaka is a Japanese surname and it's implied that Keon has Asian features.

It's also pretty well established that despite most 21st century languages being (ostensibly) dead, there are family names that keep a lot of old cultures alive, plus some foods and whatnot, especially in alpha sector. Jerez Rivera, Madrigal, Dalmora Rostha, and the Jains come to mind.

So, are babies sent to be wards of Hospital Earth given surnames that match with their family's culture? Keon seems to have been, but I wouldn't think that Hospital Earth would be so considerate as to do something like that. I would think they'd just have one big list of culturally neutral names that they randomly assign regardless.

I'm curious to know what Drew's last name is– he certainly wasn't given a hispanic first name (that makes me sad), but if he has a hispanic last name it would sort of confirm this theory.

Some food 4 thought
