Hmm, high levels of Y chromosomes isn't surprising in a society of brutal conquerors--they have to have all those conquerors from somewhere, especially with high rate of assassinations. Men probably pump themselves with stuff to be able to keep up with sex til old age and have as many sons to die as possible.
My guess only, of course.
But...is he falling in love with the lady from his dreams? That would be something! She's from his dreams, but very real.
Author's Response:
Well - no spoilers - but the old man did just kick Jenn out. And Jenn is the hottest woman on his ship. She's also a good fifteen-plus years younger than Lili.
But the fellow is 54. Jenn is half his age - 27 - and he can't relate to her any more than Lili in our universe can relate to her version of Jennifer. Plus Jenn is plotting. He may not know that, but he does know that she's sleeping around. She's not exactly trustworthy.
The Y chromosomes - it's a thought experiment I had conducted about the MU. I came to the conclusion that it's Survival of the Fittest run amok, and they're all naturally on steroids. That explains the aggression and a surplus of males (so, even more aggression). I also have it pushing a higher sex drive in both genders.
