Sir, you have them all on the hilt of the sword.
How will it work for them
and the surprise if someone else grabs it.
Will only the two of them hold it?
Are they physically strong enough or
is it symbolic?
Wow, thanks! I did not expect that you would use it.
It actually came from a old video game from the 80’s,
part of the end cut scene. I paraphrased it a bit. No,
I can’t remember what RPG it was, but it was a good one.
But it had dragon riders in it.
Damn, it’s on the tip of my tongue….
@scarsdake: If you really want to find that game again,
there is a subreddit dedicated to finding lost games
r/tipofmyjoystick, crazy lads there can name a game
from the vaguest descriptions.
Not really, it was a SNES game. I might have in my
rom collection for my emulators. It was 2nd gen game,
they had double the ram/rom than 1st gen,
which was still pretty low.
I’m 64 and good game play is not something I can do anymore
I found that out when I bought the “Dead Space” remake,
and I can’t get past the tentacle grab scene.
I’ll have to get my son to do it for me I guess… again!
I am 60 right now, and I play games at easiest settings,
then at least I can dream of completing some levels.
I love sim racing, but whenever I try to drive around the
Nordschleife with anything more than an MX5 or a gr86,
I am glad to not crash before half the lap.
I have to take a medication for a type of arthritis that destroys
the joints, it’s similar to rheumatoid but more damaging.
There’s been times when a simple left click sends my mouse
off the back of the desk tray. The joint locks and when it
lets go it’s like a slingshot. Damned annoying…
I can see that yes. For me the pains have been isolated
to the shoulders still. Can’t wait for what will happen
the coming years. Ahh, the joys of aging 🙂
Naadir means ‘Dear’ or to find rare love.
or the good in some one…
Rohaan means ‘Compassion’ …
Minha means ‘blessing’ or to bless…
Inayat means ‘kindness’.
or to bring out the good in others…
I was a bit surprised at the group of “Angels”, but it makes sense.
I just hope some a-hole doesn’t come out and tries to shoot Terysa,
although, if they were to try that and say, one her guards
shoots back with a bolt of lighting, (a charged spear) killing the
idiot, while Terysa shrugs it off, it would hit them HARD.
“She IS an angel sent from Allah!”
Teresa is an angel, but which kind depends on YOU. Love, or
DEATH, it’s their choice…

Ahhh, I thought there might be more music
today. But again, no button. So, I thought
that another “comment” would work. Oops.
I guess Paul was referring to yesterday.
I had a thought, it came from a news clip I watched after
ship 5’s launch, they were talking about the amount of
junk orbiting the planet. the shear amount of rare-earth
metals and gear is in the billions! The Empire no doubt
harvested that as well as the tech from foreign satellites.
With Musk’s rocket and a few tugs built, the USA could
rake a huge amount of resources that way, more than
enough to cover the costs. Plus it would make the space
around Earth safer to launch through and keep any
manned satellites safe.
(they said something like 13 billion)
(Cue the screaming matches at the UN)
What?! You (UN) want what I went up and
brought back down on my own?!
Not only no, but Hell No!
You want it, YOU go up and get it!
And NO, you’re NOT “renting” my rockets
to do it. Build your own.
Oh,and don’t forget the land for a launch site.
Actually, it’s salvage, so he would have full rights, most of
the noise would be over the “stolen tech” from the satellites.
“Those satellites have our (insert stupid thoughts) tech and
you have no right to steal it!” To that I say so why didn’t
you put a self-destruct on them?
“No Right of Salvage.!” UN agreed that while in space,
no “identifiable” debris or nonfunctional satellite is allowed.
by any other agency… IE: Musk cannot touch NASA junk.
AND IF foreign junk hit your house,,, your Gov, has to
sue the other Gov, in your name.!
Huh, I understood that maritime law applied to space as well.
Well then, recover the stuff and “sell” it back to them…
I’m sure there would be hell raised over asteroid farming as well.
unlike the sea, not everyone can get/build a craft to get space.
sell back… they claim it’s worth more than the national treasure,
and you have to pay it.
farming ,, when they brought back mineral samples from a rock
as a test,. the prices dropped.!
No doubt, that many minerals that “easy” to get at (no direct human
contact) would be easy money for any space mining operation.
it would effect both the mining industry AND the foundries on Earth.
It won’t happen over-night, so no real impact on the economy. Sure,
the miners will have to work/learn new machines and how to function
in a micro-gravity situation, but with the (almost) endless supply
of raw ores and the new alloys this will create, everything will
balloon in just a few decades.
Great story, but I have one comment.
The street and buildings look very clean and well maintained.
This is not what I would expect from a Mohammedan city
TV and movies paint a dark picture of their lives,
if you were to look at the shanty towns of the
homeless in some areas, it would look the same
as you’re thinking. Or the streets of any run-down
ghetto’s in any major city, Gary was like that in
down-town area in the 70’s.
If this is Britain, then great presentation of a row of
terraced houses – although it must be from an
area that was moderately affluent when it was built,
given every house has a bay window.
The police uniform is rather distinctively American,
to my eyes: I can accept the casual firearm as fallout
from the Apocalypse, but the rest of it doesn’t seem to
have any throwbacks to the current British police equipment
Understood.
I can see that most of the providers of 3d assets are either
US based, or clearly catering to the American market,
with little or nothing that is UK specific
I’m astonished that you were able to find the terraced houses,
really!
I had a thought, basically the Empire are using their beliefs
and lore to convince those people that not only is the Empire
good, but it cares for people. While it’s a bit of a lie, this
will (hopefully) bore through the HUGE amount of lies and
misquotes those (now dead) leaders have been spewing
on the people to get them to obey without question.
The extremists are using obscure passages and misquotes
to get their people to just take over and to follow without
question some tired old ideology from centuries past.
Genocide is wrong and bad, no tired old book can make
excuses for it. The Empire has been fighting everything from
raiders to now entire planets, and they don’t want to, if
this works, it’s bloodless.
The wife turned on the TV and it was tuned to ABC, the George
Stephanopolos show. On the screen below the talking head was a
disclaimer. Something about how delays in results was not a sign
of election fraud. Sound like somebody is getting a tad gun shy?
I thought of that, too. Early voting in Texas starts today
and I plan to do my duty this week. I suspect it will be
in the “for what it’s worth” depart-ment, though.
A bit of a shame the timing didn’t work out a little differently. The last
4 panels from the last installment and the first 4 from this one would
have been perfect for the Flight of the Valkyrie.
“Six originals”, five winged horses and Terysa. I assume the other 4
riders are drawn from Teresa’s personal guard?
Well it’s happened, Jasmine officially weighs just under 16 lbs!
So, I’m going to get an auto-feeder and try to get her pudgy
belly under some control. Only nice thing is she’ll let you rub
her belly for about 10 seconds before she attacks. Before the
transgression was instantly handled by her highness. So she’s
gone from mean Miral to Mavia? Hmmm…
I’m talking about those fancy ones that dump a measured amount
on a timer, might be funny to watch laying on the bed napping
until she hears it start upp and she SPRINTS into the kitchen
crashing into it since she can’t stop in time to avoid slamming
into it HA! Downside is she’ll nip and hook me begging for food
more often…
my Pooka is 23 lbs. just a really big cat. vet said it’s fine
tho i think i’ll get a exercise wheel, cuz my old ass
can’t keep with young-en’s zoomies…
She doesn’t like being picked up, I guess it scares her.
But when I changed the bed sheets, (of course she wanted
to lay on the bed) I had to pick her up to move her
and I was shocked how heavy she was. Plus when I
did, her belly went “squish.” So diet change and metered
feed amounts, we were using a gravity feeder. It’s
common with strays, they lived so long barely able to
find food, that having a seemingly endless supply is
like heaven and they over-eat. Big cats in zoos are the same.
SORRY. THERE WILL BE NO MONDAY UPDATE.
I went and voted, did some grocery shopping, had dinner,
and ran the clock out.
I’m sore and tired after unloading a van full of groceries.
I did stow the refrigerated and frozen stuff.
But my living room is full of groceries.
I’ll put them away later.
Unless I eat them before I get around to it. It happens.
On a good note,
I had seven women at the polling places laughing.
I was in rare form, one funny comment after another.
So it was a good day, I just ran out of time.
Sorry. Wednesday will be up soonest.
I am curious as to how the sword was rigged so the hilt felt cold to one
hand and warm to the other when the hands were side by side if not
touching. Warming and cooling coils under the surface? A bit of stage
magic could enable Terysa to make sure each kid grasped the desired
portion of the hilt. But that’s going to be hard to maintain as they draw it.
A promise of hope or despair. Choose.
Thanks for the quote, Scarsdale.
You filled out the conversation for me.
Sir, you have them all on the hilt of the sword.
How will it work for them
and the surprise if someone else grabs it.
Will only the two of them hold it?
Are they physically strong enough or

Patience, Paul.
All will become clear on Monday.
“I hate waiting.” -I. Montoya
Darn you always say that, have patience.
Ah well patience is supposed to be a virtue.
Aye, Patience is a virtue.

not a Doc, i have no patience.
but it IS Monday!

The UN would probably claim abandoned property rights
and demand that Musk turn all proceeds over to them.
After he had salvaged them all, of course.
Doubtless.

The street and buildings look very clean and well maintained.
This is not what I would expect from a Mohammedan city
This is supposed to be a small-ish town away from London.
The locals probably keep it cleaner.
Adding trash is pretty time-consuming.
Not complaining at all, it was just an observation,
and the explanations provided are sufficient.
Thanks
Where are the other neighbors?
One would think with all the music
and commotion, other people would
be coming out of their houses to see
what’s up?
Patience, P.E.T.D.R.etc.

Nothing about the sword. Dragonfly influence.
