• Evolution of cooperation vs. competition under environmental stressors.
• Networked signaling and information propagation in small groups.

The lore surrounding the Hounds of the Meteor is rich and varied, drawing inspiration from ancient myths and legends about celestial bodies and their influence on Earthly affairs. DogFactory's lore suggests that these hounds appear to individuals at significant points in their lives, serving as guides or harbingers of change. Their presence is said to be a sign of good fortune, but also a warning of the challenges that lie ahead.

The Quest

• Literal: Physical creatures—possibly mutated, celestial-borne, or engineered—associated with the meteor, acting as emissaries or instruments of change.
• Mythic/psychic: Manifestations of fear, guilt, or unleashed instinct. Hounds that chase signify pursuit—of individuals by conscience, of societies by consequences, or of fate by forces beyond control.
• Environmental/ethical avatars: They may stand for the natural world responding to human hubris—wildness summoned by an external shock.
