I wanted to add even more crates, make it look really full, but I needed room for the rovers, and with the nearby Platypus camp, things were getting a little part heavy. And the T-Rex is one of @Azimech's beautiful creations that came with his Ground-Station challenge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jim Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Hmmmm.... I'm having one of those Thompberry moments... like right before I made Thompberry into a brain-pod, and was super-nervous about how readers would react... Thinking of adding in something else rather... odd... in the next chapter. But I'm not sure if people are gonna like it or not. 6 hours ago, Thedrelle said: what the heck... I write these at the end of every chapter... it's a tribute to the Dune Mini-Series. One of these years it will just say The Saga of Emiko Kerman has now Ended...

Probably even die-hard fans of anything knows that there are things that don't work that the author or writers thought would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so, the prophecy of Just Jim declares that many years from now, the saga will come to an end. The end will be marked by this sentence at the end of a chapter.

michal.don Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hey, @Just Jim, just stumbled upon these on Niven, and I heard you're kind of an expert on those.... Any idea what they might be? On a serious note, I am a little behind on your story, I have to catch up and see what's going on Michal.don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
