[Question] [ Set in the not so distant future, space travel becomes commonplace but is limited within the heliosphere.

[Question] [ A centaur has a body best described as half-human, half-horse, so for convenience we use a horse as an anatomical reference throughout instead.

[Question] [ Most of the time, when movies or video games depict zombies, they are given one crucial weakness; the head. Blow it off, and you stop the zombie.
