    Chapter 38

    Andrew knows, if Will loses the clock begins. If the NEW President is sworn in, the attack will come. It is inevitable at that point. The only chance he has is a first Strike, he's choosing his opponent. Proportionate response vs total annihilation on January 20th at noon. Biden would select targets, mete out justice against military targets. It would give Newfoundland a chance to surrender and spare countless lives. The other option is the complete flattening of the island and total invasion. Andrew sacrificing himself, to buy a slither of a chance for the people on the Rock.

    Chapter 38

    I have written a story of Will's Grandfather which I will release called: Blackwater It's not done, but I know that watch changes depending on which Person is holding it. It's a legacy of father's to sons... and I like the feel of it on the pages. What it means to each person. For Liam in 1885 it was hope. Selling it to save Anders. For Captain Carter in 1950 it's a symbol of perseverance and resistance For David in 2003/4 it was a wish that his son would forgive him For West who carried it in 2005 and gave it to Will, it was a symbol of heroism. We know Will's haunting by the thing. And Jacob, it's a symbol of a good man who loves him and raised him to be proud and defiant.

    It's funny that watch has taken on so much meaning. handing it to Jacob, who's next up seemed right here. Will needs to be free of the weight of it, and by handing it to Jacob the relic takes on a new meaning. For Will it's a symbol of his father... For Jacob it's a symbol of HIS father.

    Good morning. ,,,, mmm coffee. The long night before the battle and they're prepared.
  9. CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: THE ELEVENTH HOUR Location: HMS Acheron (S122), Control Room. 300 feet below the surface of the North Atlantic. Time: 17:00 Zulu. November 4th, 2024. Status: Action Stations. The Night Before. The red light in the control room was the color of old blood. It bathed everything in its somber glow—the faces of young men and women who had not asked to be here, the polished steel of consoles reflecting the tense faces of their operators, the quiet hum of a reacto

    Will will never know any of this. Will will go through life, being Will, warming people without meaning to, never realizing the devastation and growth and love he leaves in his wake. And Peter will never tell him. Because that's not what the star needs. The star just needs to shine because it can't be expected to love you back.

    Articleing yes, he is going to work for GS&P a job he does all the way through until he loses the job there in Carter's Fortress because he is blamed for leaking informatin to Will. He didn't but he was still embroiled in a conflict of interest. I will be writing the other side of Fortress in the future because I think there is a lot of unexplored material there, and I am liking this lost Era of Will and Andrew. That and I want more rounds of Marc vs Andrew, those two clash so amazingly well on the page. They LOATHE each other and with good reason. It makes Marc saving Andrew in Recourse so much more powerful.

    Chapter 10

    It is interesting because these techniques will help Andrew in his Legal Career as well. A lawyer that can break a man with a line of questioning in a deposition or on the stand is interesting. I am also REALLY interested in seeing Andrew in a courtroom, I have never done it. As I am currently writing the second book of these EARLY Andrew stories. Where he works for GS&P, and CSIS it's fascinating to me to see him walking a line between the Spy and the Lawyer inside the DEN of Evil that makes Alistair Merrick's Empire tick... and how he was eventually brought down. Leading to Tarquin's rise. It's challenging as I am doing a lot of research into how he works...

    The future DG has had that power, the eyes, the damn eyes!!! he peels people like onions with his diminutive, stoic presence. This is his super power, the quiet man in the interview room who is so unnaturally unnerving that it crawls through the skin. This is fourth book with him in it. He was in Recourse, (mentioned in Order), Run, and Throne. and each time he gets this moment of that mentorship and leadership. Very different from Andrew's style, but complimentary to his DDO.

    The first Cross falls.
  20. ACT XI: The Quizmaster The cedar grove smelled of damp rot and cold pine. Andrew sat in the driver’s seat of the MULE, the engine a faint tick-tick-ticking as it cooled in the late afternoon air. He wasn’t hiding. The raw, brushed-aluminum car was parked off a disused logging spur, its colour a nondescript grey against the grey-green scrub. He was a mile from the McCready woodlot, watching through a pair of Peter’s old birding binoculars. This wasn’t espionage. It was logistics. Andre
