perhaps, progress seems slow because it's being done is super secret labs somewhere. i'm convinced now that the troons are a means to an end, which is either: -a space-traveling transhuman species that doesn't sexually reproduce, but carries an embryo for medical reasons. -a troon slave species to serve the same function.  if each god-being has healthy slavebeasts carrying around backups of his genes/stem cells, he should be able to stay alive and in peak health for at least several decades longer than currently.
