Wonder how your tailored 'incident' goes off when two ships allegedly of the same navy start duking it out, one claiming the other is an imposter? Soemthing tells me the wheels are about to majorly come off this plan. Worse case the Heglanda gets disabled and captured, allowing the Imperium and Prin...
(Let's hope he's more like Thanatanous the Mage than anyone else.) (Hmm - "Seven Kings". And we see only three described.) The title of that exhibit is 'The Kings of the Seven Villages" Not "The Seven Kings of the Villages". The Seven Villages is a nation, and the exhibit was about those that tried...

Now here's a question... Just what are they watching? Is the media free (enough) to show our heroes escaping? I kind of had the impression that they weren't. If they are then maybe they're free enough to show us Goosey-Loosey after the escape, but before her makeup artist gets there? :D Okay, that ...

Still what if the 'accident' that was the original escape plan happened for real, a hauler got lost on a hyper jump? That's likely alot of space to go back and search. Which is another reason to "neuter" the captured ships. If one were found by someone, the couldn't be used in combat. All well and ...

Vaporized? More like....crushed? Obliterated? Smeared off the face off the face of oblivion? I believe the appropiate radio call from the RC is 'Fox Four, Fox Four'.

What it misses is a reference to the date of the strip the beginning is referring to. At least we know that the ability to call and gain the cooperation of animals is not at all uncommon. Nessie is apparently self-taught, but not unique, since even black ribbon Quentyn can do it. Oh, and that was o...

Re: back to original topic of Hard Onions
I completely agree with this last Hard Onions. Mr. RH is right on the money here. My daughter can't bring a picture of a stable to color to school at Christmas time, but they can be taught the signifigance of a dradle. Could someone PLEASE explain that to me?? It's the ABCs of 'tolerence' for Mutli...

The escape is all well and good, but with the ion collector doors ripped off, and likely parts of the magnetic scoop system with them, how does the Cry refuel? Sounds like he will have to pull into somewhere for repairs or at least to gas up. And it's likely to be soon, seeing how his tanks were mos...

Why was the Imperium upset that no Terran horses reached sentience? The fact that something like their distant ancestors are used as livestock (it'd be like humans being pissed at an alien Gorilla being used as a packmule), they think Terrans killed off their sentient horses, or just some idiot maki...

Okay, this is crazy. But is it Khron 'The Backstabber' crazy, or is it crazy like Bretai admiring the ruthlessness of the Micronians (Humans) for doing a space fold so close to a planet (ie looks impressively reckless, but the crew was clueless to the risk)? I see a few possiblities for what might h...

Hmm, Edo has some intersting teeth. I assume if a HDD has MIRV warheads, the cruisers will too? And does the Ise class have similar VLS blisters like the Mutsu? Intersting thoughts, if the League navy is like the Union then they won't expect MIRVs on anything lighter than a capital unit, if they exp...

All kinds of questions... The current duke is only two years in the position. He first lowered taxes... suddenly, there's a demand to pay "back taxes"... My suspicion is that maybe somone else has quietly usurped power and wants the old, heavy taxes, retroactively. Someone local? Or is there a king...

Edo's military philosphies are rather close to the Unions beleive it or not. Neither military beleives that the 'super weapon' is worth the mony poured into them. After all, what happens if your super weapon fails? Or it gets taken out before you have a chance to use it? The Gunbuster refernce was ...

The thing is, the draft is 180 degrees off the stated goal of stopping unpopular wars. Right now with an all volunteer force if the war is unpopular, people stop volunteering. They don't re-enlist, they avoid military recruitment centers like the plauge, and so on. None of which is happening right n...

Better electronics? Hmm, decoys, ECM, ten ships out there and your firecontrol is on a eight day bender cause it sees sixty?
