[Continued CW: Implied abuse of the dead, war-time practices]
Not to be morbid or anything that is! i was just wondering, all of a sudden, while making a beaded cuff bracelet... what do they do to irkens that have passed away? do they have any sorts of special rituals? i don't expect they do anything too elaborate, they more than likely might do something akin to cremation and then possibly a burial of the ashes? (if you want to be very technical about it, they might just recover paks and then launch them into a sun, even. that seems more their speed, honestly.) abandoning their dead makes a lot of sense too, too much to do. maybe recover the sir units and repack them for other irkens....maybe the paks if they're intact enough.
But i was wondering if there might be anything... interesting they do, like after recovering paks if they go over the data? if the pak is intact and it was a highly ranked irken, could they possibly just shove it in a new body and start them over?
What happens when a tallest is killed, or possibly dies of natural causes (somehow).
Or, even, what if a tallest fakes their death or something?
[if you find this post too much to interact with, let me know and i will woosh it away into the void.]
