Chapter 11 page 79 "We think they’d run out of light—though it’s hard to tell" When talking about the first expedition the admiral refers to running out of worm paste as running out of light. Could be intentional but it just screams Rosharan influence. The admiral could have observed the paste runs out of light when it becomes useless and then referred to running out of paste as running out of light but it seems like a big jump to come to the same diction as another planet without much reason. More likely they would just say they ran out of paste. Or Admiral Rattu is a world hopper, which seems far fetched.
