Fan Fiction / Re: Guided by the light of a (Red) Cameron Star

"But you made the Cardinal French...  How could you miss the opportunity to make him SPANISH! ;D"

Unfortunately it says in Historical: Liberation of Terra that the guy from the Inquisition who shoots Hans Mikkelson in the head, after the SLDF catch him and hands him over, has a French accent.

Mikkelson hears the accent and thinks they must be a Swiss Guard from the French speaking part of Switzerland. When the man corrects him explaining he's actually from the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, Mikkelson becomes considerably more nervous.

For what it's worth, the Vatican Observatory is a real thing, and would be quite interested in the original mission of the Niops Colony.

I'm sure there's at LEAST one actual Astronomer on this mission... ;D

The Vatican is savvy enough diplomatically to use this as a opportunity for outreach (they're considerably less 'bull in a china shop' than Niops, they've been playing the game a lot longer.).

Does anyone have suggestions for non-impact cardio that isn't swimming?
Bungee-jumping or sky diving?  :huh:


I mean, if neither of those gets your heart rate up, it's Probably because you're already dead!   :shocked:

Yeah, I've been assuming all the shipping costs are due to the bulky dimensions of the Forcepack boxes, much more than the weight of them.

''I am Leo Showers!''
''I'd fart in your general direction, but I guess you have already been high on your own buttfumes for at least a decade.''

Enders talk with Nagasawa reminds me of Wellingtons' remark at the battle of San Marciel
