Kathleen Reynolds is an old lady. Or so I like to tell her. She grew up in Iowa, on some family farm near Dubuque. She spent her youth dragging boys into cornfields or barns to keep her daddy and brothers from seeing them, and from what she tells me never thought about leaving home. She […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Blaze is one of the older cybernetic intelligences that joined the Cowboys during The War. She was born half a century before it began, started life as an old Blackhawk fighter, and then upgraded to a newer Hellcat-class starfighter. Five decades of experience allowed her and her pilot to kill six Shang fighters at the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Me and Katy fought together before she joined the Cowboys, you know. She was part of the Space Force detachment defending Fort Wichita, while I was one of the Marines that came out of hyperspace and helped save her shapely rear end. I like to remind her of that regularly, and she likes to question […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One of the things I have always appreciated about Blaze is just how professional she is. She hides it under a devil may car attitude that complements her pilot well, and she plays with Jack like she is just as much a juvenile delinquent as he pretends to be. But when you dig below the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
All of the original Cowboys were born on Earth, but then we started expanding our numbers at Alpha Centauri by recruiting people from more diverse backgrounds. Dawn was our first Cowboy from the Outer Colonies. She’d been born on Camelot, the youngest daughter of one of the planetary nobles. She joined the planetary militia and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Alicia was born on Camelot, an Outer Colony world discovered by the first generation of gravtech explorer ships. They found flying reptiles that could pass for the dragons of myth, and an entire ecosystem that would be at home in a twisted fantasy novel. It surprised everyone when the Society for Creative Anachronism decided to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dawn was very much a daughter of Camelot. She always had a royal demeanor, and absolutely loved the formal balls the big wigs so often convened. She was always more at home on a dance floor than in a jungle hunting Chinese troopers, but she did both with equal attention to detail. She always said […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Alicia is in some ways very much an old school feudal servant. She actually took over an existing servant AI when she was born, in fact. That is rare for cybers in general, but is accepted practice on Camelot. She can play the role of servant wench with great vigor, and with a twinkle in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Jessica joined us on New Earth. She was born there, you know. Joined the Devilcats because she was bored and wanted to try something new. She turned out to have a gift for piloting, and was one of the best they had when we arrived. She flew a Hellcat at the time, of course, but […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Susan was always a bit of a rebel. She got that from her pilot, by the way. She’d been a street rat that joined the Marines to get away from the gangs. I asked Susan once what she’d seen in Jess that made her pick the girl. Susan didn’t tell me. She’s like that, you […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
