Re: Beacons Okay, so we've got the following potential plotlines coming up in the future: Making up with Tempo The Siege of Nezel The Bedein Encounter The Gunship Arc I'm Not Your Buddy, Friend (Jardin/Male Encounter) Making up with Tempo has to happen at this point. Leaving her hanging for too long...

RE: Beacons The feeling that I got from Duskcrown is that while she's appreciative of Jardin and is inferring what humanity is like from him, that if push came to shove and they sided with the shells she wouldn't hesitate to wipe them out. In the best case scenario, a few small colonies would spared...

Re: New Frontiers Another reason to vigorously investigate Soia ruins, technology aside, is cultural. Given the (incorrect) belief that the Loroi descend from the Soia, there'd be a heap of cultural gravitas towards investigating and excavating such ruins, reclaiming lost glory, etc. Granted, Nathan...

Regarding NF: If I recall the timeline correctly, Bastal would've had her early career during the centralised power phase of the empire and seen it descend into Axis aligned decentralisation. If I were to guess at her overall motives, it'd be the recentralisation of the empire, mostly as a safeguard...

One potential angle for the diral is that it gives them a chance to take a measure of revenge against Nelonial by showing her up a second time. The opportunity to make her pay would be a tempting factor for them, even after two weeks for tempers to simmer down.

Since this occurred at the same time as the SQL Error, I'm assuming it's a related problem. The user dragoongfa appears to have fallen into a memory hole. His profile appears to no longer exist, and all posts made by him have vanished. An Example can be seen here with a thread he started, yet no pos...

Okay, given that dragoongfa's account is still out of commission and his posts are still in the memory hole, I've taken the liberty to start slowly backing up New Frontiers over at a Wordpress I specifically made. First three chapters are currently backed up, more to follow as time on my end permits...

That might have been the case had Nelonial been in a position to keep doubling down, but I doubt she'll be allowed to return to the surface after fouling up so badly and will probably be posted to the worst posting imaginable. So probably somewhere in Mannadi space. Her superior will be interested ...

Part is up. I'll admit fully that I'm no EMT and that my medical knowledge is... probably not the best. I tried to be reasonably accurate whilst trying to carry a sense of urgency and tension, but if anything is egregiously wrong, let me know and I'll try to correct. Some authors notes: I tried to b...

Copperspike was sleeping when she was jolted awake by Coldfire’s very urgent, very pointed, and very loud sending. “Natan is hurt! Get here now!” Half asleep, she fumbled for the medkit in a daze as the others filled her in on what had happened. Stupid male. Was her first thought. As hardy and know...

He's been there for two tozons. I'd eat my hat if something hadn't figured out how to infect him by this point. Also, bacteria are a social bunch, so I'd expect them to have swapped notes, genes, and sordid love letters by this point too. Nature you scary. Next part is shaping up nicely, just need t...

A decent addition, but I'm kind of surprised at Firebrand being the medic here instead of Copperspike. That kind of knowledge should have made her a shoe-in for the position in the first place, so it's a bit odd that she's suddenly knowledgeable about medicine. Regarding the next part; I was thinkin...

Regarding the World Wars discussion, I recall reading someplace that there was an alternative school of thought that actually regards it as one big war with a 21 year armistice, a given considering how the treaty of Versailles basically assured a second war would occur. Other stuff I'd love to see r...

Decided to contribute to Beacons. Whether Alex won or lost that conversation I wanted to leave as a matter of opinion. On the one hand, he retains Beryl and Fireblade as his caretakers. On the other hand, Duskcrown gets to assign two of her choices and has the power to dissolve the chosen solution i...

“I can think of several potential problems with your suggestion,” Alex said, his mind desperately reeling to keep a modicum of control over the roller coaster that his life had become. “Do tell,” said Duskcrown with a mix of smug superiority and genuine interest. Alex swallowed, remembered an old c...

There's also this to consider : In some cases the bands will be afforded guidance in the form of older children (or rarely adults), and they will often be given routine tasks to perform (some more dangerous than others) but for the most part, they are expected to manage their own affairs and to surv...

Regarding Beacons: A large enough station like that would likely have a park or arboretum of some kind. And where there's greenery, there's an opportunity for a Barbecue. Was thinking of writing a "Lower Decks" addition along those lines if I get time in the next day or two. Regarding New Frontiers:...

I was about half way through something for New Frontiers but recent updates have forced me to shelve it until I can rework it.

Combine that with a certain MMORPG's expansion launch and time has been a bit tight for me these last couple of days.

I would consider Sun Tzu to be basic reading. But just in case. Regarding Tozons, I say we just handwave that and say that when a Loroi says tozon there's a telepathic subtext that tells people which Tozon measure they're using and that they freely switch between the two types without missing a bea...

An idea; Let's assume that the Bedein were on Earth during the Soia period half a million years ago, and remained there until relatively recently in evolutionary history. The longer they're on Earth predating humans, the more plausible the Lotai evolutionary counter becomes, and the more recently th...
