Alpha Centauri was our first stop in The War. We didn’t plan going there of course. We were tracking the fleet that killed the Peloran base and took heavy damage holding the system. It took impressive planning to get out again. The French, German, British, and American squadrons, both fighter and warship, had to be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The preparations to leave Alpha Centauri strained the Peloran ability to rebuild their damaged ships, to build new fighters and drones, and to upgrade the Western Alliance ships that would fly with them. They never could have done it without the salvaged Shang fabricators to do the bulk of the heavy lifting. We still missed […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Minnesota is my home. It always will be. The hills, the lakes, the birds, even the fraking mosquitoes the size of birds. The smell of a morning rain coming in on the lake breeze. That is what I love about Minnesota. I don’t come back to Earth often, but when I do I always come […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Dogs have a long and illustrious history of going to war with us for thousands of years. The Egyptians, Romans, Celts, Persians, and many others have used them in battle, as guards, or as trackers. The Romans especially were known for armoring their dogs and filling entire military units with them. Their uplifted sentient descendents […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hello, my name is Jack. Dreams are amazing things. They show us what we want, what we are afraid of. They show us what we could have if we had the courage to take it, or what we would have if we chickened out. They help us deal with real life, giving our minds time […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Terran branch of humanity is fascinating in a way we have not seen since the Albion died. The moment you had access to Albion science, you uplifted many of your most cherished friends. Dogs, cats, dolphins, and many other species on Earth and beyond are now just as intelligent as any human. And more […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I like dogs. Some of my best friends are dogs. I love working with dogs. Seems that loyalty made it through the uplifting process, and even though they don’t think we’re gods anymore they still love to play with us. They just like being part of a pack, and they’ve decided we’re part of their […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I grew up on a country estate outside Philadelphia with a family of cats. They had their own place as far away from the main house as they could build it. We didn’t charge rent. They kept their distance, and they kept all the rodents away from the property. Burglars too. The cats enjoyed patrolling […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When we began choosing Terran partners, we knew it would change everything. The Peloran don’t question rules by their nature. It was one of the things that made them good soldiers for the Albion. It also made them good partners for us. We have rules we follow and they never questioned them. You Terran question […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I don’t like rules. I never have. That made me real bad at following the minister’s commandments back in the old days. I was always looking for ways around them. I always came up with explanations why I really wasn’t doing anything wrong. I talked my way out of more trouble than I care to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
