The Albion did not create the first cybernetic intelligence. They were never more than interesting toys to the Albion. The Peloran were the kind of advancement the Albion believed in. Making life stronger, faster, and better. The Arnam were designed to bring humanity to deep aquatic environments. The Weylan were designed to do the same in aerial environments. To expand the range of planets and environments humanity could live on without technological support. But something happened when they finally cracked the biological code in the human brain that allowed the Weylan to use six full limbs at the same time. In parallel, as computer scientists put it. The Albion over-engineered them far beyond that needed for running a mere three sets of limbs. The Weylan brain can consciously think in dozens or hundreds of different directions at once, without losing concentration. They can perform dozens of tasks at once as easily as anyone else can maintain a conversation. They are living, walking, biological computers. And when two or more are gathered together, they can do some impressive tricks.
