No, dinosaurs were before my time
No, cell phones were just 30 years ago
Yes, I did have “rabbit ears” on my TV
With tin foil.
Yes, phones were on the wall with wires
No, the internet is less than 50 years old
Back in 1983 I had bought an Atari 1200 and heard about
the internet that ran at a “blistering” 9600 baud and thought,
naa…
5 years later I bought my fist PC and by then it was moving at
28kps but tied up the phone line so it still wasn’t all that
attractive.
Talk nice Sally, I doubt they’d do anything, other than to stop
talking to you. I hope she’s been listening to Mike and
will act accordingly.
I doubt Slimy is softened up enough but one can hope,
I keep visioning that hammerhead whining and stomping his feet,
making demands like a spoiled child with no hope of getting
his way, but tries anyway. Appealing to his greed with
something close to what he wants might do the trick…
Just wait, I have the feeling that he is going to be just the
messenger and whatever the offer is, it might tear the coalition
of the Core Worlds apart. Right now they think in ‘us’ as in
‘the Core Worlds’, but if even one of them starts thinking of
‘us’ as in my own people?
We will see.
The Empire has already done that with the P’tera,
“turning” them away from the core ideology. Slimy
realized it and has a lot to do with his meltdown.
Although he thinks it’s because they are cowards.
Or straight up traitors.
“what he wants.” – – think school yard bully,,. that’s all he (they) is.
you have upset the status quo. ,, now he (they) will attack you, and
harass you,. and make it your fault.! (“you attacked our ship.”)
When this goes before the core (counsel) it will be this..
“THEY attacked us.! we were minding our own business,
we did “NOTHING” to them.!!”
and no matter what ‘you’ do, you are at fault..
so.. get them (trick) to attack, while a independent (high rank)
watches,. IE: let them attack (take) “The Pride.” while a core
ambassador (not one seen yet.) is aboard,
They’ve already attacked them while at Xanadu with witnesses
claiming they are pirates while it was their own ships that tried
to pirate the Pride. The P’tero ships are just doing their jobs and
protecting as part of their jobs. Queen Ann’gijin told Slimy as much
and he didn’t like it.
So Taritha is going to change his mind (hopefully) about using their
trade fleets to save their economy rather than fighting a war they
can’t win. The core will follow suit if they can be made to see the
light…
In the next episode we’ll find out if Sally is intelligent or entitled
I’m hoping that Taritha is recording all this, audio and video.
I’m figuring that after this dinner meeting, Ser Slimy will start
casting lies in an attempt to get the Wolf Empire in “trouble”
with the Core.
Is there a parallel to Serenity’s Mr Universe, communications central?
“Can’t stop the signal, Mal. Everything goes somewhere,
and I go everywhere.”
And have Taritha either b’cast, or threaten to b’cast, this meeting.
Show the rest of the planets (core and fringe) what their overlords
REALLY think of them. Stir the pot. Upset the status quo.
The Pride was already in trouble when it was discovered they
were trading in the Fringe worlds, so I kinda doubt that would
have much effect. The entire Imperial Merchant Marine fleet is at
risk so being escorted and heavily armed is a must. This was the
core’s last-ditch effort to take them out and it’s failed. Taritha is
making that clear to him and offering an out to save face.
Aw crap, so the SJL has infiltrated literature now…
Just like when they decided that cartoons were
hurting/teaching the children with violence…
All the while turning a blind eye to bulling in schools.
Taritha first shows the stick, then offers the carrot.
I saw the following in an advert for T-shirts. Maybe being old isn’t completely bad.
No, I can’t do snapchat or tiktok
but
I can write in cursive
Do math without a calculator
And tell time on a clock with hands.
I love it! I’d like one that reads:

Arguably Internet _is_ 50 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET
😉
Most people identify internet with “http ‘n stuff”.
That started around 1989.
And early ARPANET was neither exactly public
nor wide-spread 😉

One way or another, they WILL see the light.
Be it in lightened self interest or the light of a high yield kinetic impactor,
They WILL see the light…

>along those lines, I have a special offer for you
Will Slinom take that as something for him to gain status
within the Hammerheads? Or get all huffy about a bribery attempt?
Bad enough the Fringe are “defecting”. Is this a wedge just
appearing from inside the Core?
