Yep. As mentioned in the chapter: his mind has access to the tech level 15, galaxy spanning version of internet. That stuff about the soia is just something that he plucked of its version of Wikipedia. The old races are watching us.raistlin34 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 30, 2022 1:42 pmAnd said wagie casually drops VERY disturbing intel about the Soia, to the point it could put Loroi entire society and even the Union in jeopardy if the learn about it.G.

Like watching an episode of Lower Decks.
The Bek take their hyper advanced tech completely for granted, just like we do with our tech. Their society is pluriform, peace loving and tolerant. It has left its "We're mysterious" phase behind and entered its "Gee, is this it? Is this all there is?" fase.
Visiting Bek'Arhi, their homeworld, is not a problem. Marvel at the dyson sphere sized honeycomb structure in the solar system (but ignore the graffity), visit Bek'Arhi's hovering cities and see the Wraa, an artificially created, 500 meter long reptilian species (do not feed) that lives on Par'Hevra, the terraformed 4th planet in the system.
Or rent a spaceship and go explore the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy for only 50 million kezelets a day (fuel not included).
It's all normal to the Bek, who got rid of their robot servants long ago, because they discovered that an entire species loitering all day only served to make that species fat, bored, stupid and extinct. As a result, the Bek have jobs and chores (and complain about them. Just like 99.9% of species that have jobs and chores do).
