The Japanese had made giant strides in the realm of robotics during the half century before the Second Great Depression began. And they had shared their technology with their allies before the Chinese invaded. So when the Mexican drug lords sent men to shoot up Texas Tech, they ran into the same meat grinder that bled the Chinese army white. Autonomous robots under the command of advanced artificial intelligences. It was a fight for the history books.
Some religions and governments collapsed when the Peloran made Contact. Others changed and adapted. The French did both. Some government officials pushed for their own private fiefdoms to have sole Contact, while others drafted regulations to outlaw the actions. Others walked a middle path, but the wild conflicting actions of the two extremes paralyzed the government and froze out even the private and public corporate interests. The French economy came to a grinding stop amidst the government corruption.
I meet a lot of people in my line of business. Some of them are trustworthy. Some of them couldn’t tell the truth if you wrote it on the insides of their eyelids. But most people are mostly trustworthy. You can generally trust that they will tell the truth as they know it, as long as it doesn’t hurt them. The trick is in separating those who lie for fun from the rest. They are simply not good for business, and I’ve grown tired of their antics. And if there’s one thing I don’t need in my line of work, it is someone stirring up the pot for fun.
Dixie and Twilight knew the face of every student and teacher at the Texas Tech graduation ceremony. They also knew every family member who also came. The visitors were the difficult part of the equation to secure, and the Mexican drug lords managed to slip several dozen armed men through the security holes created by the college principal. And that was when Texas Tech’s robotics department revealed their newest secret weapons against the drug lords.
There are many amazing spaceship designs in the Jack of Harts universe thanks to Kirk Alderfer and Stephen Huda. They are both talented 3D designers with many starship and mech designs they built currently available for people to buy. Three starships from Jack of Harts are currently on sale via shapeways. The Austin-class destroyer, Los Angeles-class cruiser, and Empire-class battleship represent the pinnacle of engineering in the future space navy of the United States of America in The War against the Chinese and their alien allies. And since they are sized comparatively with other ships from other games, they can fly across many game boards. 🙂
