Mystery meat as well, considering the phoenix is mythical, and thus the conception shown would not be real. And conception is not birth.
And why – the random dash in – the title?

Indeed. Last time I looked THE (singular) Phoenix was not born of impregnated seed, but rose from its own ashes, no? At the age of 500?

Well you can’t accuse the title of lying.

[sarcasm]Is that a planet being attacked by a worm from a space-time wormhole?
Not another transdimensional space story I hope.[/sarcasm]

Nothing says professionalism like the cover title reading
Conception
Birth of – The Phoenix

and the Amazon book page giving it as:
Conception: Birth of ‘The Phoenix’

I think the hyphen represents – a pause. Some people – base their punctuation – on where they put pauses – in speech. This is essentially – a road to nowhere.

Electric Orange is an actual German band, so maybe it’s a metaphor.
