 |"As Spacers, it is your final duty to go into the Grinder and become one with all the people. Do not hesitate, for your legacy will live on in your memory files as your implants are transfered to your successor clones. Though your bodymeats will be ground into a fine paste and sucked of its lifejuice, the Great Maker will sort you out in the Otherworld.”   -- Fleetmaster Malaetu Eight Five, 85-0566-7494  The Art of Never Again, Chapter 548: Into the Grinder!| |"As Spacers, it is your final duty to go into the Grinder and become one with all the people.

-Of all the technologies at the disposal of the [[faction:freespacers]], the single most important is recycling. Since they have no habitable planets, every drop of water must be mined from ice, every fruit or vegetable must be grown aboard their ships. Their entire history this has greatly limited their maximum population and traveling distance. Every glass of water wasted, every bowl of food left uneaten means one less citizen that can be supported, and therefore one less citizen born. This has driven the Freespacers to make great strides in conservation and recycling technologies, the most important of which is the universal reprocessor, or more commonly, the Grinder. +Of all the technologies at the disposal of the [[species:freespacers]], the single most important is recycling.

 The Grinder is actually a combination of two separate systems; A biomass recycler and fusion-electric smelter. Many citizens contain mechanical components and implants, while many Automata and starships commonly use organic elements and human neurons in their computer systems. This widespread use of biomechanical technologies creates the need for a dual recycling system.  The Grinder is actually a combination of two separate systems; A biomass recycler and fusion-electric smelter.
