The steampunk turned steamy. It was high time for Hugo to get off his his high horse so good on him! It’s going to be interesting to see how these two will interact with each other from here on out. Also, we’re given some tantalizing bits of how the larger world is structured. Can’t wait to read how the guys untangle their situation.
-
Lovely to see the guys really working as team, using each other for strength and support. They’ve mopped up,well and are now consolidated. Imaonder what adventures are awaiting them? As always, the kids are fine. Less to worry about. Life’s good.
-
Hmm, interesting that Templeman’s got a read on Enrico, and Sinclair is misjudging things. The potential for intrigue is rising. If Enrico isn’t planning a dirty bomb - is he working with the PRC or Norks in order to get fissile material? Questions questions… maybe it’s not even nuclear? Anyway, waiting with baited breath for the next chapter to drop. Kudos!

Was thinking out loud that Miranda probably had a devious streak as we’ve seen with Jake. Also, who’s to say that our esteemed author hasn’t cooked up an intricate scheme just to foil the obvious?
-
The chessboard pieces are really flying now. Will the mercenaries be foiled, and by whom? Our Carter on the scene will have his hands full. Meanwhile, it’s fascinating to read that Russia is, for once, a productive state, given recent developments to show the contrary.

Chapter 20: True History?
Northerner commented on astroguy's story chapter in Chapter 20: True History?
Nerd meets jock. Will sparks erupt? Or, will our boy wonder have to think on his feat, weaseling himself out of a sticky situation? Quite the cliffhanger! The boys are now being introduced to how the world really works, and it won’t stay a campfire adventure for long, I suspect. -
Is it sister dearest all along? My money is on mother. Who knows who’s she’s in cahoots with? Both Will/Travis and Jeremy/Kris are making headway, even if it comes in squirts.
-
An interesting development for sure. Who knows what the guys will do once transported. The friendship angle is a promising setup - no heavy attachments, just good support. I hope they get a bit frisky if the opportunity presents itself.

Dream tech for any politician or their ilk. A very sinister setup, but once you roll back the curtain you’ll soon realize that the real power is usually in the hands of the most corrupt people you’re likely to come across.
-
The dice is cast now, to use another metaphor. The vultures have begun to catch the smell of Enrico, but they’re not yet circling. This is really tense - I wonder how the sub will be brought back in the end - and at what cost? Good job on posting the chapter, it’s saving my sorry self some downtime at Schipol airport. Good thing I had a bunch of catching up to do. Thank you!

Chapter 18: And Peng Makes Four
Northerner commented on astroguy's story chapter in Chapter 18: And Peng Makes Four
And so it begins! It’s not exactly Hogwarts, so it’s interesting to see if any totalitarian brainwashing will be added to the curriculum… -
So, being a watchbearer he gets to witness places strewn across time. Wojciech is off to the races. I’d like to see what’s in store and him gaining some knowledge of the game.
-
Oh wow, last I walked the streets of Cambridge the town certainly impressed me with academic gravitas. It’s delightful that it all could change due to a magical artifact. This is an intriguing beginning of an adventure. More please!

Chapter 17: Roommates Are For ...

College in the GA world is so supremely slutty. Wouldn’t have it any other way. -
Chapter 14: Dinner with Dads
Northerner commented on astroguy's story chapter in Chapter 14: Dinner with Dads
Sometimes IKEA is you matter converter when you move. Still, I’d like a real good nerdgasm - it’s been a while. Wonder how new Shawn will readjust his plans from old Shawn’s before the trauma without raising suspicions. Also, gAI is starting to step up the tutorial mode. Shawn needs to fly under the radar. -
A succession of unexpected events
Northerner commented on Thomas Lindblad's story chapter in A succession of unexpected events
Haha, I was just up in the family holiday home in the woods up north in Sweden. It’s a lovely collection of cottages in an old summer pasture by a mountain lake in the woods, but describing it too vividly is pointless, it’s something that needs experiencing. The contrast is wild between places. Now, Uganda… haven’t been to a part of Africa in a long time. Who knows what develops? Seeing the Southern Cross and the lack of light pollution is a fond memory from the savannah. You certainly get transported via text. Or your travels 😅 -
Ever stirring the pot, we are now introduced to a new set of variables. Big, Taylor and Fellowes. There’s more to this, and it’s going to be spicy. Jack is a walking midlife crisis, is he heading for a breakdown, or is there something deeper like cancer eating away at him? Macular degeneration that means he’s not going to be able to work? He’s being an ass, but I still feel some sympathy for the man. Will, Marie and the younger crowd are trying to navigate, while being very college age about things. It’s full on drama. Happy we’re treated to sone Brad and Jake back in action - I’ve missed them! It’s only Monday and I’m on the road - better pace myself until the next chapter drops.

A succession of unexpected events
Northerner commented on Thomas Lindblad's story chapter in A succession of unexpected events
It’s not only the glögg, but also pepparkaka - gingerbread. They go together, maybe with some saffron bread if it’s in season right before x-mas. That aside, holiday homes around Sweden are superbly cosy. It’s like taking some time off to go live in the Shire for a little while before going back to the grind. The small town of Trosa is a gem. It’s a real nice day trip from Stockholm. Anyway, bucolic as it may be up north, Alarik now has to right the ship regarding Wolf and Justin. Justin is being dramatic about things and Wolf has reacted rashly. It’s going to be interesting to see if Alarik’s diplomacy wins the day. -
Chapter 13: Out and About
Northerner commented on astroguy's story chapter in Chapter 13: Out and About
To be Forever 21, having H&M sex in the hungry Gap. Yet another addition to Shawn’s repertoire. The teenagers are going at it like their life depends on it, and who can blame them? -
The odds are now stacked against the Carters, the submarine and dear old Blighty. As tension is high, Andrew is forced on a Merlin bound for sea. The things you do for king and country… meanwhile, things are being sabotaged left right and center. Time start chewing some nails.
-
Oooh, our boy Shawn rekindled an old friendship he didn’t remember. Still, a good lay is a good lay, and he got awarded points even. I’d take it too, were I in his shoes. Job done, let’s see what lies in wait as he ventures out in this strange new world. Everything is giving a slightly off, eerie vibe so something is definitely afoot.
-
The secret layers are peeled back, just like you’d do an onion. Will is distressed that his family is brought into the limelight; good thing he’s got competent and trusted aides who can put him back on an even keel. Andrew is off playing a high stakes sleuthing game. We are teased that Aegis is aware of the data theft - the question is how far they’ve been able to ascertain who did it? Data exfiltration at a defense contractor is serious business.

Chapter 11: A Walk in the Park
Northerner commented on astroguy's story chapter in Chapter 11: A Walk in the Park
Shouldn’t more of our protagonist’s existence be gamified? Picked up hints of dissent +3P? Still, our boy is fast growing into the world. If the shoe fits - wear it. -
Marc and Adam taking over smooth operator style. This time they made the people ask for it. Let’s see how far their plans take them as events unfold.
-
Imagine that - the Darien gang turns into a band of sleuths and Excalibur handles the duties of the Mystery Machine. I think I need to make sure my remains will go to science fiction once the gig is up. Still. The quest for Peligia is a worthwhile one, plus we get reacquainted with some old friends along the way. Thoroughly enjoyable!
