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 frankyif you want to stop terrorism; stop participating in it

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.

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.Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

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.Despot-(1a) : a ruler with absolute power and authority (1b) : a person exercising power tyrannically

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...A university faculty is 500 egoists with a common parking problem

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.
