biotech n.	2015 K. Lord Galaxy Game xiv. 283 His gaze flashed from the pale blue window to her excited face. ‘How many more years?’ ‘Less than five hundred. We could make it sooner, I suppose. Most biotechs don’t like to tamper too much with crafted worlds. They’d rather experiment somewhere else, just in case.’
psionic adj.	2013 K. Lord Best of All Possible Worlds 233 I suppose, from what Nasiha tries to teach me and from what I’ve read of the mindships, that’s how the Sadiri mind works. You extend your awareness of yourself beyond the boundaries of your physical body. It’s generally a benign psionic influence—case in point, when you took over the parts of my body that were not under my conscious control and helped me to heal faster.
