I’ve figured out a way to give the Wolf Empire a bloody nose.
Another thing is that I never wanted TGW to become a space opera,
and both stories are headed that way.
So as soon as the top story is finished,
I’ll return to my preferred short story format,
about individual people. That’s what I most enjoy writing,
and I believe it’s what I’m best at.
The bottom stories will remain in space.
Just mix it up, it’s hard to not fall into that I expect.
You are telling great stories, and sometimes they
run longer than you’d like. The GC is far larger than
the core, and it’s going to take years to convert
them all to the right way of thinking, if ever. If I was
there, in that room, that “Howler” would become
a screamer heh.

While the short story format about individual people is what
you most enjoy writing, and what you feel you’re best at, my
opinion is that you’re also darned good at the longer stuff too.
It is, but it’s their ship, and they said she was spying. Without
letting them know about the implants, it’s their word against
Katrina’s. But Katrina knows the truth, and WILL be holding them
accountable.
They are currently on one of the space stations.
Sorry I didn’t make that clear.
Technically, the Admiral is in command of the station,
which makes it a military station.
And diplomacy requires a conversation, not a summery execution.
That moron is so cock-sure of himself he threw away a bargaining
chip to make a point. Time to show him OUR points. C-fractionally.
Yes, but the Admiral feels that his fleet is strong enough,
and the Wolf Empire weak enough, that it doesn’t matter.
He isn’t aware of the Imperial fleet hiding in stealth,
all he is aware of is one small diplomatic vessel.
Only frigate sized, but armed with the most advanced
weapons and four Tobies and he doesn’t know that.
Ya know, I think this is the first time (that I recall anyway) where
we’ve learned of a sympathetic active character’s death in the comic
(as opposed to bad guys, like the group that was planning to kill
Garion at his coronation, or the ambushers on the motorcycle trip).
Vicki was already dead at the beginning, so that doesn’t count.
Kinda makes it a bit more realistic, if you know what I mean.
They killed the little girl? Clearly they are in need of an
attitude adjustment. A high caliber one. To quote Kathy,
“Shotgun, c’mon say it with me: SHOT-GUN” Heh.
HO-boy, not good, he’s right, now isn’t the time for infant
care. Maybe the teen survived and is knocked out? Wait,
they were in the CARGO HOLD?!? What The Hell… That’s
like putting the kids in the truck of your sport car instead
of driving the family van.
I’m about outta gas guys, been living on naps too long.
Today when I drove my wife to a doctor’s office I felt like
a wet-behind-the-ears teen on his first solo drive. 40 minute
drive felt like a week. I passed out at 6pm and woke up
45 minute ago. I’ll talk to the nurse about respite for both,
5 days might fix things.
We don’t know what all these demons do to their slaves, that
baby might BE the child of the teen. I get the idea of the truck
bed, but that is open and not restricting to things like air or
an escape route. Plus, riding in a truck bed while a forest fire
is raging is a desperation move, burning ashes everywhere.
That grain elevator fire was proof of that. We had to put out
multiple grass and out-building fires once the ladder truck arrived.
Things just keep getting worse.

PC you are doing just great.
But stay with what you are comfortable with.
You really are the best.
Thank-you
Oh, he’s so gonna regret that! Just before he dies.
I’d ask how many bones his species has, and offer to
double that 😉 every single one with a clean break.
Why isn’t that an act of war?

In the cargo hold?
Possibly slave capture
and transport?
More like putting them in the back of a pickup
truck when you have to escape a forest fire.
