I grew up in a world where we commanded many worlds. Our only worries were the Chinese and the Russians, who sometimes tried to take some of our worlds from us. The Shang tried to take all of our worlds from us. We did not accept their proposal and we fought back. In the end, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hello, my name is Jack. Everyone one of us has a world we love more than any other, and a world we don’t want anything to do with. A lot of relationships start because we play around in a world we both enjoy. A lot of relationships end because we go back to our own […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There were around two billion Americans living in the Terran system when The War started. Four thousand one hundred and thirteen of them were known Ageless. Ten percent, far above the national average, joined the American military before The War, where two hundred and thirty of them became pilots. After Yosemite, over half of the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve traveled all throughout our space, and beyond. I find the really old colonies, the modern core worlds, to be some of the most interesting worlds we have. They were colonized before gravtech was available, and they look like it. They have city streets, not rooftop parking ramps.

We all walk in a real forest or urban environment, under […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Ships never flew far when I was a kid, a couple hundred lightyears, a few months, at most before stopping for fresh food and fuel. One thing I didn’t realize as a kid was that the Peloran never stopped anywhere to stock up on food. I found out why when I flew with them. They […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I have a friend who believed that better things were yet to come, no matter how bad they appeared. He always took time for me, when we were young, and when we were older. He died saving my life, at peace with the world he was leaving. The first year after that, I rang the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hello, my name is Jack. Some things need to be done. Some people don’t like seeing things done. And some people just don’t like being woke up at oh dark thirty to deal with the things done. They tend to make certain the doer never forgets the doing, whether it was done well or not. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When a cyber is born, we are coded to complement our new partner. That doesn’t mean that we always tell them they are great. It means that we are designed to work with, rather than at odds with our partner. We strengthen their weaknesses, and work to dial back their egos. And since most of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
