====Dis-Joining==== | ====Dis-Joining==== | ||
When a member of the individual's colony dies or becomes too sick to function, the Pandrionian goes to a specialized medical center called a Home. The part is removed and the individual has a choice whether to disband entirely, carry on in a disabled capacaty, or get a replacement. It is a difficult choice for many because the addition of a new member can entirely change the personality and identity of the individual. Some choose to start over by completely disassembling, some choose to accept the change, and some cling to their identity and refuse to take a new member. | |||
The most socially encouraged choice is to disassemble entirely. The separated organisms are not sent back to the creche, but rather cared for in a section of the Home. It is extremely taboo to join an eggling to a mature adult Pandronian. Rather, replacement members are chosen by the disabled individual from the home. Sometimes one will have to go to a large city to find a complementary replacement. Disassembled members who are deemed compatible often choose each other while in the Home and join to make a new individual. | |||
