Description
All Tomorrow is great, but there should've been penguin-like Posthumans.

Perhaps it was merely coincidence that the Qu engineered many of the imprisoned Star Men's progeny to resemble wildlife back on Earth, maybe it was some sort of atonement for daring to make things in their own image, or it could've just been a matter of its what simply works best in their respective environments. But the amount of Posthumans resembling their cousins back on Earth is defiantly something to take notice. Living in the northern hemisphere of a terraformed icehouse, the most obvious feature of the Sliders is their strikingly similar physiology to penguins. What was one hands that shaped the entire galaxy as we know it have been transformed into thick flippers, useful for nothing more than paddling through the frigid depth or pushing their bodies across the polar icecap larger than Russia. Their main diet consists of the small fish and invertebrates that hide in the seemingly endless labyrinth of ice that lays just below their feet. These underrated acrobats could dive up to several miles below the surface and hold their breath for 40 minutes. They live in large groups of hundreds of individuals near massive cracks and rifts in the ice shelf for easy access to the sea for foraging. Their main predators are other species of Posthuman perpetually aquatic and reaching up to 40 feet in length. Life was quite rough and barbaric in the endless ice sheets, but it was simple and it was good for several dozen epochs after the Qu disappeared. Until their planets temperature started to slowly but surely rise. Not as quick as what their anthropogenic ancestors had to confront but still prominent enough to eventually throw their way of life out of balance. Their population tremendously diminished along with most of the icecaps they called home. With their frozen mazes disappearing, food was harder to find and predators had and easier time pressing them. Most were gone, but hope was not lost, as some were lucky enough to adapt to become better and better at swimming in the open sea. Relying on small family groups to search for food and provide protection, maybe someday true intelligence could be reborn from these rogue seafarers.

Pictured here is a slider watching over her daughter by her now secluded spot at the edge of the busy colony. Being mammals children or born live on dry land and need to drink milk to survive. They feature a thick head of hair to keep them warm, which greatly thins once they grow up to make them more hydrodynamic. Here they will spend the first several months of their live as mother and father take turns keeping an eye on their offspring and swimming after their next meal.
