Gamma Hydrae killed most of the first colonists. Radiation poisoning destroyed their cellular linings and caused them to deteriorate until they died. In a time when old age was becoming a thing that people used to die of, the people in that system died of it in a matter of months. It was an ugly and very permanent way to die. One of the colonists turned out to be Ageless though, and her body fought the radiation. That gave the medical types something to work with.
Watson and Sherlock spent most of their time working on various cases of cyber crimes until the formation of the Western Alliance. Russian and Chinese hackers were their primary nemeses, but smaller nations and non-national hackers loved to try their skills against British or American computer systems. The two AIs became experts in counter-hacking and learned every theory and technique they could find or create. They were an impressive team.
I just received my first copy of Forge of Wars: Tactics this weekend.
I’ve already found two things I need to change now that I’ve seen it in action. Both art related. Possibly a third.
It amazing to have the game in my hands though. And it really brings home just how far things have gone to get to this point. It really does take a lot of work and a lot of time to create a new game. Ideas come quick. Completion takes time, patience, and diligence. But here is a preview of what I ordered and what I received.
America’s Ku Klux Klan was one of the most powerful Genetic Puritan organizations of the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were created after the Civil War to keep the black race in their place through murder and terror. Their political influence expanded in the 1900s and they successfully banned all colored people from government service. But despite their successes, the true goal of their plan could never be achieved in America. Europe was another matter.
The truly odd part of Gamma Hydrae is the star. She’s a mostly normal G-type giant star towards the end of her lifetime. But she emits some particularly nasty forms of non-visible radiation we did not discover until the first colonists traveled there. It causes rather dramatic premature aging in anyone it zaps. It cooked the first colonists real good before they figured out what was going on. There were very few survivors.
