    Chapter 5

    Thank you guys, I hope you enjoyed this short little romp. remember, the Goblin's are out there!
  2. Chapter Six: The Longhouse The hold appeared out of the snow like a ghost—smoke rising from the longhouse chimney, torchlight flickering at the gate, the dark shapes of the palisade walls. Shem had never been so glad to see anything in his life. They had walked through the night. The children had been passed from shoulder to shoulder when their legs gave out. Marta had ridden on Shem's back for the last two miles, her small arms locked around his neck, her breath warm agains
  3. Yes, it's nice to see Will with flaws. He's terrified of letting other people down. But in his quest to be a good person he's bared his back to a future Prime Minister. This deal will haunt him.

  5. I like the fact that Yani and Peter have become good friends. They've got a fun dynamic together.
  6. Well if Byk was sitting beside it, maybe.
  7. I also found it amusing that Peter's extortion computer got hijacked to save the country...

    Chapter 1

    The progress of Will from Canaidian Politics, to Prime Minister, through War with America and the Annexation is covered in the Order Trilogy of books. Order, Run, Throne.... followed up by campaign in that order.
  9. I want to make a Yugo joke, a You go nowhere.
  10. OMG there is ACTUALLY a Budget Voyager, and it's adorkable!
  11. This is Voyager off of Temu. With 100% more Ensign Tweek!
  12. To boldly go, where nobody wanted to go.
  13. The silence of the Zodiac was not a peaceful silence. It was the heavy, suffocating silence of a space designed for a hundred people currently being occupied by ten. It was the silence of a haunted house drifting at warp speed through a completely uncharted, utterly uncaring void. Lieutenant Hollis woke to that silence every single "morning," a strictly conceptual time frame dictated by the ship’s erratic chronometers. He lay in his bunk, staring at the ceiling. The ceiling was beige. Not a
  14. Ninety crew dead. Ten left. All men. The ship's held together with duct tape, the AI keeps suggesting they turn it off and on again, and the captain is a meteorologist who fought a can of ravioli with an axe and lost. They're lost in deep space, eating rat, and absolutely not qualified for this. But they're alive. For now.
  15. WE ALL know what race Peter plays
  16. Bombs, even cyber ones, need to be disarmed before they go off. And this one isn't as simple as cutting the red or green wire.
  17. The Play Station supercomputer was an actual thing, clever budget idea which gave the CIA the ability to assemble Supercomputers based on need. (A couple of years after this point but entirely plausible in 2008) And yes, Yani is numbers and machines. He can't see the people behind the traps. Andrew knows people, their flaws, their cracks, and the shape of their tricks. Now it's Tanaka's turn.
  18. Peter's new Gaming PC. Morning
  19. The interior of the leased campaign bus smelled of stale coffee, diesel exhaust, and the damp, freezing wool of coats piled haphazardly onto the narrow overhead luggage racks. The vehicle was a massive, rolling aluminum tube vibrating relentlessly as it tore down Queensway, leaving the political bubble of Halifax behind and pushing aggressively toward the Quebec border. Outside the tinted, reinforced windows, the October sky was a bruised, slate-grey expanse, spitting a mixture of freezing rain

    The sacred Friday Night pact, I think Will looks forward to them. It's his family time and it gives Peter a well earned night off. Besides, Moomins are awesome!

    Chapter 1

    I am sure no one will mind if Will designates some of the rooms in the East Wing for his Nephews... I mean technically the Whole Wing is for Andrew to use. And Will Swears there wasn't a single bulldozer in sight. He also put the Solar Panels back on the roof

    It was dangerously close

    Chapter 1

    Deadly combination of Peter's temper, West's intelligence, and a smattering of Harding family resilience. Old Theodore's proud. Especially of the reading one, that's his decedent for sure.

    Oh and we all know Peter won the naming the Triplets thing.
