SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread VI

[Simon_Jester]

And now we know why the Nova Australians are the financial capital of Atlantis! Their innate Australian incomprehensibility inoculates them against the greater Zorian incomprehensibility, making them the only ones who can communicate efficiently. Therefore, they take all other Atlanteans' money.

Man. Bruce Robbo. Whattaguy.

[Agent Sorchus]

Heh, I foresee an increase in Eoghan foodstuff this year. Afterall Nova Atlantis has to get ride of the BEES somehow and what other insectovores are you going to call?

[Master_Baerne]

Huh. I go away for a few days, and when I get back, I find wars declared, Space Bees attacking Nova Atlantis, and a goddess molesting the Centralist head of state.

I congratulate everyone on the restraint they've shown these past few days.

[Kartr_Kana]

Also Master_Baerne your carriers have arrived!

Mayabirdies that was hilarious!

Also Zor I still have your people in custody and may be transferring them to Earth to stand trial for their part in the deployment of the nanoplague. My sanctions are in effect against your nation, I am curious as to your response.

[Zor]

This now being said, Zor, don't you dare try to hold up my diplomatic staff or do anything mean or nasty to Bruce Robbo.

I have no intent on doing so.

Zor

[Mayabird]

Thanks, Baerne!

This now being said, Zor, don't you dare try to hold up my diplomatic staff or do anything mean or nasty to Bruce Robbo.

I have no intent on doing so.

Zor

Good. Now what about the Hiigaran sanctions and your people they're holding?


And now to add to the crimes of the MEH - genocide! Possibly even cannibalism if the usual meaning has shifted that way; technically it might still be listed as "eating your own kind" but colloquially I'd think it'd change to "directly eating any other sentients."

[Shroom Man 777]

They will say their ships were doing scientific research.

[White Haven]

They will say their ships were doing scientific research.

Nothing wrong with that. The rest of the galaxy can commence weapons testing on their hulls.

[Darkevilme]

Squidoids stare in horror at the fate of the planet Bos* And these were the people you appealed to initially for aid RED?!

[Simon_Jester]

Fortunately, they now have copious amounts of Spuds and Zappa with which to defend themselves from the unthinking chitinous mechanical blubberific masses of the MEH!

[Shroom Man 777]

So... this means after some kobe beef, they'll be up for some calamari and sashimi?

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

So... this means after some kobe beef, they'll be up for some calamari and sashimi?

I wouldn't mind some pork...

[RogueIce]

Using "Barnyard" to depict those sentients does not in any way make me feel sympathy for them. In fact, it almost makes me want to cheer on the MEH to rid the abominations from our galaxy.

Almost. I don't actually cheer on the destruction of nonhuman species. That's the Byzantine's job.

[Simon_Jester]

So... this means after some kobe beef, they'll be up for some calamari and sashimi?

I wouldn't mind some pork...

The beefs of the Cossack Stars are, to the best of my knowledge, nonsentient.

But I'm sure you'll eat them anyway.

[Master_Baerne]

Also Master_Baerne your carriers have arrived!

Hooray for carriers! Thanks.

[Simon_Jester]

Ah, yes, Vinaran flu.

RAAAGH! Flu smash puny nanites!

[Shroom Man 777]

It looks like...

The birds and the bees.



YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

Well, that finally got out of the window, after 2 months of procrastinating on how best to write it.

Done with some of Shroom's inspiration, and tidying up.

[Shroom Man 777]

Oh no, mutated Refugees! Perhaps those who were left behind and mutated in SPACE HELL!

[Simon_Jester]

So, I noticed that we'd had a lull in activity lately, and decided to try and break the jam up a bit by posting another Zebes chapter. The next is already half-written and I have some hopes of getting it out in the next few days- the end, counter to all our experience and common sense, is in sight!

I took some creative license with Eoghan military technology and culture, but as little as I could manage after consultation with Sorchus, and I'm quite prepared to stick to my guns on anything he disagrees with, on grounds of "Well, if it isn't true it ought to be!"

[Agent Sorchus]

No problems, creative license is perfectly acceptable. I do note the Chekhov's gun you left out though.

And yeah, kinda a lull and partially that is because I misplaced my notebook of handwritten story posts. I should be able to find it soon though.

[RogueIce]

The next is already half-written and I have some hopes of getting it out in the next few days- the end, counter to all our experience and common sense, is in sight!

You said this just to preempt me, didn't you?

[Force Lord]

Haah. University is getting hot for me recently, hence my drought of posts. I doubt I can sneak even a small one in the next few days.

[Simon_Jester]

Yay! Captain Zyvyannov of the Venerable Commemoration of the Generous Imperator's Archaeofeat of Precambrian Paleodinosaur Wrestling returns, bringing further Bragulan Law! Tyrannophiles the galaxy over commend his restraint and judicious detective-bear-work!

But poor Venerable Commemoration of the Generous Imperator's Precambrian Archaeofeat of Precambrian Paleodinosaur Wrestling. He will not get another go against the Scron.

[doom3607]

I'm starting to think I may have made a mistake setting the Locrians up the way I did...
