Ah, little Jet Kitten, power is no problem if you have a handy dandy pocket antimatter reactor. This is beside the point that a magnetic field strong enough to retain an atmosphere is also strong enough to straighten out your DNA molecules.

Yes, I had not thought of that. Sort of a Catch-22. You have to know the language in order to learn the language.

Jet Kitten: Force field spacesuits? Meow-ow! So, what's the power requirements for one of those? Are they literally breaking down CO2 into C and O2? How much energy does that take? Meow!

About Darmok, there was a post floating around G+ or Facebook about how impossible it would be to learn Darmok as a child. You'd need another language to teach you all the context that allows Darmok to work. It's like they are speaking in ideograms.
