I do indeed try to make the moralethical playing field somewhat fuzzy in Metamor City -- and if you think the Lothanasi are ambiguous, wait until you see the Psi Collective in action. :) One of the things I tried to demonstrate in "The Sentinel" (episode 3) was the clash between ethical alignments -- not the question of right and wrong, per se, but the question of how the moral code of right and wrong is to be adjudicated in society.
