When visiting Fiimur 5 in the late wintertime, don't be surprised if a pair of the native centipedes decides to do some climbing.
The 22nd century was a fun time for hearing people screaming as the leggy climbing centipedes of the place, the instant a new person stopped moving, would be attracted to the heat of their body and started climbing up, lifting their short front body and legs to start up and pull and the long, heavy backend and longer legs to push from behind.
What really is happening is that certain trees of Fiimur 5 are very warm, tapping into the geothermally heated water that is just below the surface of the ground. The water table is very high in most areas, and that same heat keeps the centipede eggs alive in the ground. Yet once they hatch, they pair up and need to find a tree to live in until the spring.
This leads to these centipedes mistaking human warmth for tree warmth … and, as it happens, they tend to climb up on the back side that seems to look more tree-like to them.
This of course leads to strange feelings on the back of the neck, and in the hair, and then things crawling out onto the face and tumbling down into one's shirt in confusion (because a human has no treetop branches) … and then all kinds of screaming and dancing and videoing of the same.
Now in the 23rd century, few people are surprised … most people just put the poor little confused creatures in the nearest tree, and that is that.
These was a creepy little pure fractal in Apophysis 2.09 ... just imagine those sets of footed legs stretching out ... on the back of your neck, in your hair... quite an alien experience ... a lighthearted way to end the week!
