    Interesting start. the only thing i didint like at first read,is the tech calling miriam 'your worshipfullness',something you bovoiusly stole from starwars,but makes miriam sound like she is to be worshiped. just imho

    i chuckled at the all-to-typical ending which somehow is still good.
    reminds me of a bad @ssed slade,but intellectually i know its likely chairman yang,knowing franky

    I assumed it was Chairman Yang.

    Oh, heh. Thanks Cataphract. I didn't know what to call Miriam. What do you call em? Your holiness, your saint-ness?



    Sheesh, am I that predictable people would think that I would throw in the omnipresence of Yang right off the bat? Well...it's a short story so interpretation is ok.

    But to be honest, I wasn't thinking of Chairman Yang when I was writing it.

    Thanks Cataphract for making this thread.

    Actually, I too assumed it was Yang knowing you.

    We have long memories.

    Nah, just kidding. And it was fun to read AC fiction again. I might write something but I can't find my way back into the groove.

    Wow, I guess my reputation precedes itself here. And the long memories probably aren't that far off from the truth too.

    I think the reason the thread title is all whacked out is cause I cut/pasted from Word. When I tried posting it straight here all the quotations turned into squiggy mish-mash.

    Hope you can fix that crash bug, Mr. Prez.



    I'm still working on the other story I was talking about with the Pirates, but that seems to be taking forever.

    So you are not going to be continuing the two prophets story? To bad was good! I thought it was yang, and I didn't even know your reprutation. He would be the only one I can see finding war funny...

    Holy crap dacole, you're a Hiver?


    Well, my whole take on the SMAC universe is pretty different than most. I might revisit this later, but all the short stories I make are all tied in together.

    (Yeah, I didn't really want to share this...but oh well)

    So if something happens in one faction in one short story, I try to tie it in with my other short stories...

    Anyway, I'm still trying to finish my friggin Pirate shortie. But it's been almost a year on and off.

    Dammit.

    Yes, well, I'd like to see more of it, if possible.

    I'm betting on it being CEO Morgan, actually. The filthy pig.
