Suffered third degree burns on both legs, spent six months in the hospital, almost lost my right leg at the knee, and lost one year of school. I don't recommend that solution. :( Lov...

Re: Spirit Walker, chapter 14.

Understandable. Well, the no time to write part is. 10 hour days, eh, not so much... I've done that, and it really sucks. What are you doing, anyway, if you don't mind us prying a bit? I don't recall seeing what you went to school for(besides getting an expensive piece of paper). Very expensive. Mi...

Re: Spirit Walker, chapter 13.

Yeah, the good old days. Remember the 1200 baud external modems? My first computer was a Heathkit PDP-11/03 with 32 kilobytes of memory and two 8-inch floppy drives. I had to learn to program in assembly language to fit everything in memory. (For you youngsters, assembly language was far more effici...

Re: Subjugation: Questions regarding assassinations **spoilers**

:evil: My vote is NO. The risk to Jason of exposure and possible capture, death or severe injury is too great to justify such an option, however attractive it may be. Remember, if he wants to assasinate a leader he has to go where they are. That defeats his stated practice of remaining inside the mo...

Re: wow no new posts in days

Most computers in those days were analog, composed of DC operational amplifiers interconnected in such a way as to emulate a physical phenomenon. In my senior year the school purchased a 20-amplifier kit from Heathkit and the students put it together. I had a lot of fun playing around with it.  I st...

Re: wow no new posts in days

Imagine how it's like for old retired fogies--every day is an extended weekend, with not much else to do but wait for another chapter of something or anything.  I'm going half-crazy from waiting for the next chapter of Subjugation. But I remember what it was like as a student. I worked my way throug...

Re: What to do, what to do....

Now that I know for sure the next chapter of "Subjugation" us definitely in the works, I'll have to try valiantly to restrain myself from checking more than 3 or 4 times a day to see when it is posted. Fel, IMHO "Subjugation" is by far your best work, surpassing the "Firesta...

Re: Subjugation in the rest of the world

Speaking of stuff hitting the fan--remember Jason admitted on an open frequency that he was within telepathy range of a cargo ship that was about to jump into hyperspace. The marine dispatcher even took notes on the ship name. No one has questioned how he could have been where he had to have been an...

Re: What is the Creature with Kumi?

Fel says, " Jason, and all other human telepaths on Earth, can trace their lineage back to a single village in southern Scotland, INCLUDING Temika." Perhaps that is why in Chapter 1 Professor Ailan makes the following remark: "Well, so glad you could join us, Mister MacKenzie!" t...

Re: Could it be that simple........Sub..Spoilers

Another thought occurs to me--perhaps the Empress has noticed the moral decline of the Faey race and of the Noble House in particular. Perhaps she only wants the genetic material from a human  to jump-start her own house, and needs to find one with the best genetic characteristics available. Obvious...

Re: Could it be that simple........Sub..Spoilers

I am removing the material in this post because it was based on faulty research.  I plead mitigating circumstances, though.  I have been suffering from a severe case of herpes zoster (aka 'shingles') around my right rib cage for almost two months. It hurts to reach out to the keyboard, so I got a li...

Re: Subjugation in the rest of the world

Shadowhawk said-- P.S. It would be nice to include "Subjugation" somewhere in the title, to not be misleading... Good Point. I promise to do better next time. It occurs to me that one of the tiny islands in the Pacific might make a great base for Jason. I lived on Kwajalein, in the Marshal...

Subjugation in the rest of the world

Although it is kind of important (to me, at least), the US is not all of Earth. I wonder what is happening in the rest of the world? What about Europe? Russia? China, with it huge population? Australia? the Pacific islands, including the Phillipines and Indonesia? We know since the UN as a whole ten...

Re: Subjugation Chapter 10 (spoilers)

New member-first time post.  I doubt Jason will need large numbers of human telepaths.  With his cloaked skimmer and the fire power of his rail gun, he presents a serious threat to food shipments off-planet.  He may neet to up-scale the rail gun to a larger projectile. (think what damage would be do...
