There's something I've been thinking about over the past few months of being here: the portal appears to have a distinctly Human bias. I'm Human myself but I come from a universe with hundreds, if not thousands of other sapient species, yet the three of us who are here from that universe are all Humans. What's more is that no one else I've talked to here has ever encountered or even heard of the other people we share our galaxy with, no more than I'd known of Asgardians or Elves or the Prawn before I arrived. On the other hand, despite vast other differences in our realities here, most people seem to know about Humans, which seems strange to me. Surely there must be an infinite number of universes out there without Humans, right? So why are there no representatives of those worlds? Or simply more representatives of a wider variety of peoples?

Now, if this was one of the historical portals built by the inhabitants of the planet we orbit, I wouldn't think as much of it - perhaps they'd specifically target realities that were closest to their own. But if this one is supposedly a natural occurrence, then why this pattern of selection?

Any thoughts on this?

[Because surely, she can't be the only one thinking about it.]

Data runs primarily on Sarium Krellide cells but I don't know if it would power something as massive as a wormhole.

Does this Sarium run indefinitely? Perhaps something similar but in greater size could work.

[dancingmd]

His own motion helps to recharge the cells. Easier to maintain that motion on a smaller being but it's certainly a thought worth exploring!

[heartofasamurai]

If moving creates the energy to recharge the cells, it is possible to draw energy from the very act of moving between worlds. Perhaps it uses the energy it displaces with that travel to maintain its power.

Unfortunately, without data on its history, all we have are suppositions.

It'll be interesting to do some more research into it, though. Thank you for doing a little speculating with me!
