means of connecting, or linking, two locations together. It is usually located above the ground and it looks like one of the planet’s tendons. The tendon/mucus canal can grow naturally outside the planet, it can be industrially extracted from within the planet or it can be grown in an agricultural environment; but it always sags in the middle and is moistened artificially by the planetary mucus to enable more creative and faster sliding. There are arse canals and industrial canals too that are used for shipping goods. The latter are usually enclosed for safety reasons. The industrial canals can only be used for travel if a bobsleigh or hypercapsule is used too. Currently, Kintoopian science does not know how to map and grow a canal between two arbitrary points, because tendons control their own growth and only allow slight modifications. So they basically define the important centers where the population lives and works.
