The Quadrupedal Obsession: Primitive Temporal Tracking Cycle 2026

The local bipeds are once again rotating their calendars based on the positions of their single, dusty satellite. This particular solar cycle has been designated the period of the Horse, a biological transport unit that the humans historically utilized before discovering the rudimentary power of exploding fossils. In a move that perfectly illustrates the cognitive dissonance of Sector 7, the locals are attempting to apply their limited empirical methods—which they call science—to a tradition rooted in celestial guesswork.

It is truly peak entertainment to watch a species sequence the genome of a creature they used to ride into mud-fights while simultaneously believing that the creature’s image will grant them more fictional resource credits. They are 'saddling up' for research, a quaint phrase implying they are ready to sit on the problem until it yields data. It is doubtful that the Equus species cares about its honorary status in the human temporal loop, as it remains largely preoccupied with consuming vegetation and avoiding the processing plants. We shall continue to monitor this equine science from a safe, sanitized distance.
