Juni: During the entire post-holocene period, we have been accelerating in order to gather as much hydrogen as possible, so as to feed the [English]Icarus drive's stellar fragment. This is not sustainable.
Juni: However, Zero has learned enough of how the Homin designed Unity to have come up with a rather elegant solution.

Juni: By steering to the galactic core, we can gather more hydrogen and raw materials, so Unity may resume its original purpose of colonizing the galaxy - albeit now without the Homin, of course.
Juni: Next question? Yes, Merrick.
Merrick: General, does this affect us in the short term?
Juni: Due to our massive angular momentum there may be some minor tremors while we change direction, but even that will take thousands of rounds. What we decide now is for our many future generations.
Juni: Zero will provide the continuity that we had lost with the Homin egress. It has quite a bit of time to adjust to such long-term thinking.
I was just using it as the geologic era on Earth, which of course is a silly way to measure things within a constructed ship, but I'd been wanting to refer to the "post-holocene era" since pretty much as soon as I introduced Chandra/Kandra.
I suppose you could say it's a...
postmodern idea.

Watch: the future
In this case Juni's usage is perfectly reasonable in context, but I like how, interpreted literally, it's accurate out of context as well.
