    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.

                Is it me, or is there something strange about the thread title?

                    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.
                            Empire growing,

                            Fortune smiles and so should you.
