Well darn it, I wasn't able to get that Chamarran first contact post done. I guess this is what happens when I spend most of the day helping tear down the old deck at my house and replace it. Forewarning, I probably won't be on a whole lot tomorrow either for the same reason.

Well, we're immune to their psychic shenanigans, so I assume we're pretty safe.

Maybe that's just what they want you to think... for now.

*Debates having Temper MANtrum over all trade routes being filled!*
"The 4th Earl of Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'

Well, new prologue post up. Will be interesting to see how the Capellans and Hellenes react to this...

(I'm open to more partnering posts if Omega or Esquire want to)

I'm totally up for working on a similar post for the Capellans with you if you like.

Or something else but as a joint prologue or whatever.

Also still working on part two of my Shield World prologue post, should be done by the end of the week, yay.

Just a bit- one more map iteration and I'll start the first 'game events' thread this evening.

I have a suitably wacky post almost ready.

I'm open to doing a joint post. Should it be before or after the meeting with the Chamarrans though?

Ooh, how I'd like to provoke some sort of international incident between the Arcadians and the Chamarrans... we need all the allies we can get against the fiendline menace, after all.

There is no one who is going to ally with someone who creates such ridiculous nicknames for their betters. You may as well give up now and bare your neck.

I know Klavostan (Is it still a Sultinate like in SDNW4?) is near the Chamarrans and opposed to them, Space Aladdin and Space Heracles can fight catgirls together!

Also the Space-Rats will probably side with you just because!

I'll just sit back and watch the rest of you go at it. I'll clean up whatever's left afterwards.

I don't know what I'd do...Arcadia takes a LOT of prodding to actually get into a war. We have too many things to lose should that happen. And of course, people don't want us to stop watching the VIKINGS if they want their trading ships intact.

OK. Booting up the story thread.

And Esquire? This is why I politely requested that your guys not go to actual oar-powered space triremes. I already write one of those for fun...

So we have a crossover now? That could be interesting. If only to see the reactions to a changed galaxy.

There is no convincing evidence that the galaxy has actually changed. It's probably at least as plausible that they're from another universe.

I mean be honest. If you met these guys in their oar-powered FTL starship, merrily breathing in space as if nothing was wrong, you'd probably want to believe they came from another universe entirely.

Heh, good point. I mean, an Arcadian would break their brain trying to think about it, a logical minded Furling would probably commit suicide over it, and a VIKING would be...well...I'm not actually sure.

A Cernan would be confused, then simply nod and accept it.

Because hey, psychics exist. Why not vacuum-breathers who row through space as if it is indeed an ocean?
