03-01 - Mermul and Fardon are out of danger
So nice to see this page's 'official' release. I remember Fardon's helmet when it didn't have a crack in the visor.
03-05a intermission dragon pants. I'd call them leggings or chaps, unless there's some connection between the leg parts we aren't seeing.

I call each one "a pant".
03-08 - Dragons tend to crash out after eating
Synthetic meat, eh? I'm a little curious how the process for that works (some sort of cloning vat or the suchlike?)...

More like Quorn or soy protein. Quorn was available for evaluation by 1985, as a result of a fear in the late 60s that the population needed new ways to be fed, so they experimented with micro-fungus as a protein and had it working by the mid-80s though they didn't get a license to sell it until the early 90s.
In
their timeline they've had additional pressure to develop such things since dragons need a lot of food, and while they're omnivorous they still want to avoid having them get desperate enough to eat humanoids. So I would imagine they had vat-grown plant, algae, microfungus stuff available far earlier than we did.
In the social media posts I specifically referred to them as "vege-steaks" but that probably didn't come across on the main site.
03-09 - Yes, they have special dragon-poking sticks
Welcome back, Fiskul. I bet Fardon's less likely to disbelieve your claim to Destroyer-hood now.
