[Draft/RFC] The Myths of Fenspace
|
*grin* Glad you like it. Anyone else got other conspiracy theories to posit?
-- Sucrose Octanitrate. Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode. 
Speaking of plopping it into the wiki, Fnord, where's the best place to hang this topic in the wiki's organizational structure?
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. 
Top-level on the gazetteer is probably the best place, that's our catch-all area.
One of these days, hopefully not soon, I'm going to break and do something rash and over-the-top with reorganizing the bloody wiki. Hopefully one of you lot will be there to stop me when it happens.

Quote: Top-level on the gazetteer is probably the best place, that's our catch-all area.And under the "people/places/things" subheadings I added to the top-level of the Gazetteer in a vain-and-hopeless attempt to instill a semblance of order there, I'd call this a "thing".

You all realize that as soon as one of these myths is proven true (looking at what Robkelk just posted), all the proponents of the other myths will take it as
proof that their theory(theories) are more likely to be true as well. 8P ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin Quote:What, and be forced to do the job myself?

Hmmm. In my estimation, the Stingray's "sister ships" include mainly converted Coast Guard cutters and decommissioned warships. The United States' Military's bean counters are too cautious to allow anything GOOD up into the black, so it's mostly Mavericks and GoldBrickers that have made it up.
That said, I almost think that some "loose cannons" in the Commemerative Air Force [Formerly the Confederate Air Force, they lost their Battle Flags as the "Stars and Bars" became solely a racist thing in public perception...] may have some old Warbirds of their own being prepped...

*groans* My brain just sat up and went 'Oooh!' at the comment about the Stars and Bars, Foxboy.
We've had Knight Rider. Has anybody done up the General Lee yet, I wonder?  If not, anybody want to? I would, but I've got far too much on my platealready. Including the possible need of a small asteroid and some help from rob in creating one of his versions of an android as a caretaker...More on this later, in a new thread.
"General Lee" is one of Morden's things, IIRC. He's waved a couple cars, and all of his wind up with the Battle Flag on the roof.

Heh-heh. That's awesome.
Personally, I think that the Stingray's sister ships should be more like The Roughriders' production model Blackbirds and Peacemakers. I figure that it would be a joint venture between The Rockhounds and the USN with TSAB as a go-between. I myself am sorely tempted to have the Roughriders snap-up Arleigh Burke DDG's once the USN is done with them, which won't be until sometime in the 2030's. That should be later on enough that any misgivings between the Fens and the Danes will be water under the bridge and the US Government would be more than willing to do business with reputable groups like The Rockhounds, The Roughriders, etc...

Hmm. Has anyone managed Thing from The Addams Family yet? And remember that house/car they had in the very first animated version? ... Mmmmmm. Ideas.... -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
A.C.'s inspiration to go into cybernetics was accidentally creating the Thing. He (this was back on Earth) let it run down, not having any idea on
recharging, and disected it. |
