This is actually a great example of how to go on about it:

I.e. it provides for a richer story.
> cons: something about timing for the lander to get to Blue from Green, we really don't know the lander was fixed, the last concrete sign of Chenille is in that basement, etc.
I.e. no really great problem, and an invitation to speculate on what may
have happened.
Conclusion: it's Chenille because being Chenille is doable and much more
interesting. Not because it serves some literary theory or mythological purpose.
