Quantus:
Random Question:   is the lift crystal, the Mark IV-D, is that pronounced "Mark Four Dee" or "Mark Four-Five Hundred"?

I was going to say the former because using roman numerals seems weird for a society that was apparently "seeded" by a higher tech base, but then I readlized that  "IV = 4" already implies that.    ;)

Quantus:
I took it as 4-D originally, but then remembered that 'D' is one of the less used numbers and it could be purely numeric in a longer form.  I think im stuck hearing 4-D in my head though. 

Second Aristh:
I would say that 4-D is more likely based on the comments of the age of the crystal.  Five hundred points to have four hundred similar crystals being ahead of it in line.

I like it and it could suggest a roman history to this new world.  (the above being a reference to roman numerology)

So, If there is a Mark IV-M would then that suggest it was in the vat for 1000 years.  Or Mark IV-C for 100 years.

Roman numerals I, V, X, L, C, D, M
                        1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000
