“That is where Olympic comes in,” Fry stated. Political intrigue and running a state usually don’t mix well,” Jarod pointed out. But politics in the Sovereignty are as treacherous as you might imagine, given the role of the megacorporations here.” “She and Mister Hank were political allies. And there was no mistaking the glint in her eye. Her friends get to call her Vick or Vicki.” Fry used his omnitool to display the image of a woman in a fine business suit who, while not pretty, had what could be called handsome features. “Speaking of who’s in power…” Julia began. Petty abuses of power is a way for the authorities to remind everyone of whom is in charge.” While he is enormously influential, there are groups and powers in the Sovereignty who are opposed to him. “As for the delays that System Traffic Control imposed, I suspect that has more to do with Mister Hank himself. And Mister Hank will be paying a fee, I’m told, for the duration of your stay here.” The Sovereignty Government only agreed to your arrival on those conditions. “The military escort couldn’t be avoided. “I don’t suppose you can tell us why we merited such a large escort, or why Traffic Control held up our arrival in orbit to allow so many other ships right away?” The two cargo carriers had become four, joined by a luxury starliner, before the Aurora finally made proper orbit of Solaris. “We should get down to business so we don’t keep Mister Hank waiting,” Robert suggested, quite certain that someone like that wouldn’t appreciate anything less than prompt punctuality. “Good day everyone,” he said, smiling, his accent distinctly English. He was a Caucasian man, with his hair in a bowl cut and a fine suit that covered a body that had settled into general stoutness in its shape. The command staff from both ships were ready when Robert and Julia escorted Ambassador Fry into the Conference Room. (I swear one day we'll get off our asses!) But that gives Steve all sorts of stuff to use and that's also a good thing. Because most of the other stuff, like in the threads here, are focused on scene-building. Whereas with SOTS, this by Steve's probably gonna be the most coherent thing written involving SOTS ever. And of course for those works, they couldn't be such smorgasbords because of plot constraints as well. I think the other sci-fi verses, particularly the ones that had to be live action and thus face budget limits, are kinda tame. elements of which are still visible even now, in the fiber of the 'verse even when written by Steve in his crossover.Īnd yeah, it's great to see Steve go totally gonzo.
And I can tell that a lot of the aggro-nutcase-ness is because when I started writing in 2005 or so, my only sci-fi influences were like Verhoven movies and 1980s crazy shit (and StarCraft). I just can't help but notice since not only did Steve consult me but, like, it's so cool seeing it reflected off another person. The K-Zone clique and the materials involving the area *were* more aggro than other players and regions. I also like how intimidating the 'verse comes off. I'm totally not skimming through any of the parts I've already read. Yeessssssss! I love the fact that in running things by me (and Siege I presume), apparently you didn't show everything, particularly the bits with character stuff and without in-verse technical nitty gritties! Nice surprises.
