Just Jim Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 9 hours ago, The solid fuel chemist said: thomberry kerman, robotic space krakenlord killing super solder. (i'm thinking a space version of the MEC troopers from enemy within) It could still happen.... dun dun dunnnn.... Thompberry is based on two things. The first is a passage from Lovecraft's "Whisperer in Darkness", which described how super advanced aliens had the surgical skill to safely remove a human brain and preserve it in a canister, etc... The second is something from "Dune: The Butlerian Jihad" (Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson), called a cymek. A cymek is also a brain pod, so to speak, but in this case, that brain pod can be attached to just about any mechanical device: a transport... a small walker... a huge armored walker... a star-ship.... you name it. And when it's connected, the brain can "feel" what it's attached to, much like a body... and control it just as fast as a body..... and this is what makes it so unbelievably deadly!

Just Jim Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) OK, this weekend has been great, and I've gotten so much done!!! Most important, I've learned how to do something new, which is always a really good thing. So I promised to get back to finishing the story of Emiko's adventure on Earth... and I will, I promise. But you know me, I can't just sit her down and have her start talking... Oh no... I think this requires something new...

That is the 64,000,000 credit question! I don't think he is... @misterdilsby has tweeted at him a couple of times and he hasn't responded. Funny thing with Shatner from a fanfic author point of view--he spends a LOT of tweetspace complaining about people who 'ship'. (that is, write about made up romantic relation-ships) I haven't been following him long enough to know whether he just hates the genre in general, or if it's a specific problem with explicit Kirk/Spock slashfic. (which of course it exists, see Rule 34!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really??? I find that quite fascinating, and more than a little ironic, considering his Kirk character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working on her all week, and after one more field test this morning, I think she'll be ready to take out and start getting some screenshots. The best part is she's not just a gratuitous airship, there is a lot more to her than first meets the eye, and she serves a very important function in the story.

No, nothing like that... it would be too cliche'.... I think that's the right word. Actually the field tests were wildly successful, and I've already got more than half the screenshots for the next chapter done. I'm gonna try to finish them up tonight and tomorrow.

Just Jim Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) OK, so y'all know, other than a couple specialized IVA shots, I finished up the screenshots late last night. I have to do some "First of the month" running around to do this afternoon, so I'll sort and upload this evening, and try to write the next chapter up tomorrow. 22 minutes ago, Lo Var Lachland said: The Klindenburg! hehehe.....
