Another idea that floated in my mind: the plant people of Porashon, praying to Ravana before they begin their studies of artifacts. These two scientists have invited a wildling, Lemon Zest, to learn from their research and try some of the safer artifacts: after many years of a crude and miserable lifestyle, she is eager to watch their studies. She has a thing for explosions, which is what her adopted parents tried to keep her away from. These two scientists have adopted the poor wildling from a jungle, and to their annoyance, she keeps calling them "dad" and "mom".
The people of Porashon venerated Ravana since the Thandizo Invasion, when their enemies used to call them "monsters" because they were descended from the doll-like Ontemazei aliens. The Porasonids mocked their enemies by proudly calling themselves as "monsters", and they went as far as call upon the King of the Monsters, Ravana, to give them his fury and rage to drive their enemies back.
To celebrate their victory, they also worshipped Ravana as the god of science, in honour of his literary works and treatises related to astrology, music, and medicine.
