So, something else from Distant Worlds that I got to thinking about tonight:
It is mentioned that the giant supercomputer that the Aballonians built- Epoch- can only communicate in strange language that sounds like prophecy but is indecipherable to the Aballonian logic.
What if it isn't just their logic that is keeping it from effectively communicating, but the death of prophecy itself that turned the computer into a babbling AI? Aroden's death/sacrifice and the loss of prophecy makes all of its communications nothing more than garbage in/garbage out?
Or it just sounds like prophecy. In reality, it could be the universe's greatest poem generator.

Just got my copy of issue 5 of Mummy's Mask: The Slave Trenches of Hakotep. I haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet here on the boards, but there is a bit about a countdown clock in the Slave Trenches here.
Or possibly not, as the Amber Chronograph is noted as dating to the Age of the Black Sphinx, some 1000 years later than the building of the trenches. Good place for some speculation nevertheless.
