In Crooked V2 you published a story titled "Risk Management." In. your story, Gau Shesharrim mentions "Osk were not built for climbing." So - what IS Gau built for? Can you tell us more about Gau's backstory?
Caitlin Demaris McKenna
Hi Mark,
The Osk evolved as subterranean ambush predators, similar to the trapdoor spiders of Earth. They're most comfortable living in underground tunnels or close to the ground.
Gau was part of a colony of Osk who settled on a world controlled by humans. They hoped to learn more about humans, but culture clash and xenophobia between our two species led to a tragic conflict that forced Gau to flee for his life.
