    Uh-Oh, I think the lady in #4 just signed her own death warrant.
    I hope Rover and Cat know each other or fur flies.

      Emanate domain has been used many times by corrupted politicians to
      gain property in RL more times than we will ever know. It makes so
      sense for a company to think they can pull that in a monarchy. The MM’s
      response says much about his character. And the fact that he may have
      lost his last brain cell. Her reaction is one of panic, it’d be good for his
      sake to get the hint! “Any action of terrorism will be punished to those
      who ordered it” I think anyone with half a brain would take that to heart.
      Thousands of Islamic men with heavy field weapons couldn’t just kidnap
      her, DUH!

    Clearly someone decided to ignore the lesson that was taught to Islam
    in recent times. Matthew and most of the ruling body of the Empire
    would not let it go, no matter if the attempt was successful or not. I
    guess this mystery-man was behind the attempt to take away the
    mining rights of the asteroids, and like most uber-greedy people, they
    think they can get away with anything.

    OH cool! So better FTL, more efficient O2 production, and FTL comm?
    Uuhh… Wow, nice… This reminds me of the DS9 dream sequence
    where a beautiful lady is “naked” on a bed with her head laid back,
    she lifts her head, only it’s Quark’s head that starts to hit on the
    dreamer. I know I’d either wake up screaming or reach for a bottle
    of booze and a paper bag…

      That sequence was on a holo-suite and people were paying to have sexual
      encounters with different members of the station crew.
      Jake and Nog hacked the program and replaced Kira’s head with Quarks.

        LOL ok, I didn’t see that episode, just the meme of it later.
        Sadly when the show was on, I was working and my wife
        STILL thinks that the VCR and the TV has to be on the same
        channel to record. “Honey, the VCR has it’s own tuner, you
        can still watch your show” “But I wasn’t sure!” sigh…
        I gave up after the third try.

          Also check the air intake hose below the air cleaner. They are
          prone to cracking and cause the engine to run poorly.

            I’ll do that, I wanted to check the status of the air filter anyway.

    Ok, just when I think I’ve got a handle on things, each step laid out and planned,
    then my eldest son and his wife show up and gift us with a 2017 Sonic with minor
    front-end damage and a small leaky water pump. It’s a basic model, hand-crank
    windows, no cruise control. 112k miles. Spunky little thing.
    Speedo goes to 140 mph….

      The Sonic with the 1.8 engine is famous for coolant leaks. Some of the
      parts are really difficult to change. Change the timing belt if it hasn’t
      been done recently.

        Water pump lists as $110 at the parts store, RockAuto.com has them for $50,
        and my son has a friend that can change it for me. I’m going to put it in my
        son’s name, considering recent events, I figured it’d be for the best. And at
        32 mpg, if he’s having a light month, it’d be much cheaper on his pocket to
        refill at the pump. I love the larger doors on it, The HHR doors are too high
        and narrow for my father to get in/out of easily. AND the AC does work! 😀

        It’s got a new timing belt, I checked.

      And it is possible to add cruise control to it.

        Or at least put a left-foot gas pedal, my right can’t find the gas/brake
        pedal reliably and i tend to slowly slow down if I don’t watch the speed.
        I use my left foot for the brake as it is.

          There’s cheaper one’s out there, I’ve checked, but you get what you pay for.
          All dash controls are on both levers including the radio. so I can’t use that
          one without disabling something else. It does have a working back-up cam…

      Melody’s such a geek, I’d say yes.
      Thanks for the reminder. I’ll have to work the Vatta name into the story somewhere.
      I liked the first series, that’s where Teresa got “Trade and Profit” from.
      Never could get into the second, even on the most boring days.

    So I was wrong about him having a thing for Teresa because
    of having had a thing for her mother, but right about having
    a connection to Regenschirm? That was a lucky dart throw.
    Now I wait to see if he’s breeding superhumans.

      The only thing he’ll be breeding is earthworms, if he goes
      through with it. Inside what remains of his rotting corpse.

    I’ve been trying to do phone/cam visits to reduce the number of trips to our
    doctor’s appointments, so I ordered a webcam. The first one I bought was
    back in ’96, almost $100. The one I just got was $25, with a built-in mic.
    And a nice little cam eye cover 🙂 Oh and a tiny little tripod.

      Fixed.
      The last time I used a webcam, I hung it in the lower center of my screen .
      It kind of spooked people, when I was talking I looked at it,
      when I wasn’t I watched the screen. So to the other person,
      when I spoke it was as if I was looking slightly down at them,
      when they were talking I was looking up past them. Psychological dominance.
      Most people mount webcams above their screen, making them appear subservient.

        That’s how mine mounts, middle of the top,
        if I don’t use the tripod.

    Yesterday, from 11am to 1:30 pm, we fought all 7 cows to get them
    into the stock trailer. want didn’t help was one had to remain behind
    for his new owner to collect. It was Houdini, and guess who escaped
    4 times on us in the process? Once during the loading and 3 more
    times while I was fixing the fence’s damage. At one point he managed
    to get around and into the neighbors yard. Little turd actually mocked
    me when I tripped and fell. So I threw my hat at him! I guess he was
    looking for his family, didn’t settle down until dark and is now laying
    around looking lonely. Next weekend he’ll be gone, gone, gone!

    Reading his words I couldn’t help but think unless he has beaucoup
    resources we don’t know about that time has long flown. Then I
    had a fantasy thought about what an investigative team would look
    like, with a Human, a Cat, a Dog, a Rat and a Dragonfly, and maybe
    an Android, all using their natural talents and -senses- as well as
    technologies from all over the Empire.

      Plus, there will be many, many new members in the years to come.
      Who can say what skills the Elves and such have? The demons may
      have a few, if any can let go of their violent, brutish behavure.

    Have the dragonflies ever reported before that there are people,
    human or not, they “can’t read”? I wonder how Big Bad found out,
    or if it’s something he’s had done. That seems more likely than
    that it’s a “rare genetic quirk” or something, given that his chief
    aide has the same “quirk”. This may be the most significant tidbit
    in this episode.
