The Derring-Do were a small population of humans that occupied the hills of Land-Kentucky during the years immediately following the Batavia Excession. The community coalesced around their shared defiance of the philosophy/lives of hard logic espoused and ascribed to by robots, as well as the softer and more cognitively permeable options presented by the Cetaceans. Little is known about their day-to-day existence of the Derring-Do (nor what became of them)[1] though they left behind a near limitless network of tunnels and caverns full of elaborate, homemade (often musical) liquor stills. In fact, they are rumored to have advanced the study of gin and gin derivatives by decades, if not figurative light-years.[2] The Derring-Do were identifiable by their removal/lack of the pinky and ring fingers of their right hand (demonstrating their fleshiness and independence, and allowing the remaining fingers to naturally and gracefully fall into a d-shape) and by their hostility, and occasional outright violence, toward those lacking such lack.
Notes
- ↑ It is theorized by less scrupulous scholars than myself that they may have had a hand in the creation of the Buryatia-Patagonia Transverse
- ↑ Derring-Do legend holds that the new agricultural and mechanical technologies involved in their gin production were divined through observation/calculation of movements of extraterrestrial objects.
