- Some of us maintain a schedule that follows that of the body. One member in particular has adopted a more noctural schedule and tends to be awake when most others (including the body) are sleeping. Fortunately she's pretty courteous about that, though she does seem confused as to why we waste the night by sleeping through it.
- A few have other languages. One speaks Mandarin as well as English, but in headspace it tends to mentally translate anyway (and she has the ability to back up that mental translation). The main frontrunner does not speak Mandarin, and the body does not have the memory or practice in forming Mandarin sounds, so when she fronts, she can't speak it, and she has severe difficulty in typing it, as well. Another member has a language that is visually based (her species is bioluminescent) and creates meaning based on speed, intensity, rate, color, and position of photophores, combined with body language and possibly a small telepathic component as well. She has a very difficult time with English and needs help in typed communication.
- Interesting question. We're relatively recently realized, so the rate of introduction is probably higher than for an established system. We're rather small, however.
- Sickness tends to affect anyone close to the front. The frontrunner feels it the most and anyone who spends much time close to the front will feel some of the effects, too. Those with limited connection to the body and to the front don't seem to be bothered by it. Some who do come closer to front will avoid it during sickness.
