velociraptor = a species of dinosaur

playing with a couple of fictitious dinosaur names distaraptor and timeraptor
one can have fun with the sci formula of velocity = distance / time

From the Culture series. "Of Course I Still Love You" is the east coast ship, handling most of the landings.
The other one (at the west coast) is called "Just read the instructions".
