What\nreally matters is that Lune stands green in the sky as a symbol of\nman's past engineering glory, to which Vodalus foolishly thinks he can\nrestore the world. It is a doubled symbol of decadance: the\ntechnological decadance that has fallen so far from the ability to do\nsuch things; and the moral decadance that said \"just because we can,\nwe should.\".....(Well, maybe the alzabo isn't completely ridiculous: if it isn't a\nnative animal of some far world, but bioengineered by humans to\nproduce the analeptic...)"
