Interesting. Lifprasil said that Father Dominus was androgynous. Is that true (and it still takes two to reproduce), or was there a miscommunication somewhere?

These aren't mutually exclusive- The Arks are androgynous, but they do reproduce sexually. The male/female roles are just stylistic. In other words, it takes two to tango, but it doesn't matter who's tangoing. There's no significant risk of inbreeding, either, though subsequent generations probably won't be as grand.

Can't believe my autocorrect accepts 'tangoing' as a word but there you (tan)go.
