Aesel's terminal got a pass today. I gave the handle an animated feel using Slab, and went through and unified the terminal colors so nothing clashed and everything stayed readable. There was a weird bug where the same engine rock could show up twice in a session, so I fixed the duplication, and then made the rock itself name the engine that's actually answering , small thing, but it's the kind of detail that makes the terminal feel honest instead of decorative.
