Etienne makes a good point,
maybe with time the both of them can have along trusting relationship.
Looks like some bullies are attacking a peaceful society.
I hope Teresa and Borogove can find some allies that can help.
That’s what became of my wife and I, it took a year for her
to truly relax with me, and I had to work hard to show I
wanted to love her, being stoic isn’t the best course. I had
to open up to her the most, she had to stop looking for
bad proofs of my intentions.
Look at her eyes, they aren’t red from the tears,
they are wide with fear, almost panic. She’s saying
this despite the panic she feels for opening up.
Julian, don’t try to hug her until she offers, but
reassure her that it’s fine and he feels the same.
Offer a hand, don’t reach for her.
Gawd, that look reminds me so much of my wife
the night she opened up to me, brought me to tears.
Intelligence and integrity. The whole package. Yes, go kids.
Unknown to both the Diaspora from Xanadu and the Galactic Council?
This could be very bad. If they’re attacking defenseless people as
a first contact strategy, it’s very unlikely to be very good.
He didn’t lie, he just withheld one tiny detail.
Vets go through the same process as human
doctors, and need the same empathy that a
human doctor has to treat patients.
A space colony by the Amish … are we talking about the terran Amish? Was this established with help from our Empire (at least space transport), or somehow happened independently?
I swear, that describes myself and my wife to a Tee, Although
we weren’t that up-front at first, we were both afraid of the
other’s reaction. Go slow, take your time, learn what you need
from each other, before you know it your relationship will be
the envy of others many, many years later. Trust me.
Argh, why do they always go after the calm, peaceful places?
Cowards. Seems the Empire’s job of protecting the weak
has already become a full-time one.
Sorry I didn’t pop in sooner, my new bedroom is almost ready,
so I maybe dropping out for a bit. Not knowing how much I can
keep and what to get rid of is being a problem for me, I’m
barely holding it together. PC, I’ll share my new address when
I’m moved over. One thing that’s going to to be an issue is
the outlets in the room are not grounded.
Minefields.

Etienne nailed it. Go kids.
The two of them have backbone.
Wolf to the rescue??

Deception? Perhaps I am blind, but the only deception I see here
is he led his mother to believe she was a people surgeon.
deception – she could have lied,
an never say anything about the conversation.
then use it against him…
I can’t see him saying even one untrue thing. How his mother ‘decode’ what
he said is her problem.
He didn’t lie, he just withheld one tiny detail.
