Eyrie Thread 2: Overtech Boogie-Shoes
01-27-2023, 11:12 PM
After a little over eight years, the previous EPU thread went into overtime here.
Operation Blackout, an untold but evidently upcoming tale from the Golden Age of the WDF, gets a mini-story prologue. In 2168, a trainee MechWarrior and second-generation Wedge Rat* has to take a friend to her doctor's appointment, but don't worry; they'll be Traveling in Style.
* Whose BPGD file, I discovered when I went to check some points of chronology, apparently got munged at some point. Someone with Forum posting access might want to notify the mods, or if I can get such access after the move, I'll do it myself if still necessary.

Presumably, this elbowed ahead of Operation Blackout and onto the What's New page by whatever means were necessary.
Quote:At the top level of the International Police Organization's Special Assignment branch, the Experts of Justice, it's not entirely unknown for an agent to have a hard day at the office that leaves behind unanticipated consequences. Someone forgot to tell Geoff Depew (sic) it wasn't a competition. Undocumented Features Future Imperfect: Fable of the Reconstruction
I haven't personally read it yet, so I don't know for sure whether it's the story I, for one, have been wondering if we'd see since the artist now known as Jen Dantes announced her new name(s). The summary, as you can see, doesn't rule it out, but it doesn't lock it down either.

Didn’t so much elbow in front of as needed less Gryph attention, so I did it, he proofed and edited a bit of it, and it got out.
And yes, it is mine. If people have questions I can happily answer them.

*blows dust off thread* Despite the struggle to exist sanely as a live organism while being repeatedly run down by the drunken taxicabs of Absolute Reality, Gryphon has managed to pull together enough spoons to do an HD/HTML remaster of Bubblegum Crisis: The Iron Age #1: Meet Interesting Singles in Your Area. Chapters 2 and 3 to follow with all deliberate speed.

I do hope this comes with fresh audiobooks at some point. I liked the originals, but lost 'em in a small computer issue during one of the earlier lock downs.

Flush with success from the TIA remasters, Gryph found the HTML workup for such Cybertron Reloaded instalments as were originally published in text format and has up{dat;grad}ed them. I have no serious expectation that this will bring us any closer to the long-awaited Episode 7, but feller say hope is the greatest of all treasures.

Back in 2009, give or take a fast week, Gryph or somebody Wrote:In 2356, a warp drive accident transported the fugitive Gryphon to a parallel universe - one in which he was a complete unknown, not an accused mass murderer with a price on his head. Free to start all over again, but unable to escape his own best destiny, he joined Starfleet and eventually surpassed his achievements as a member of the Wedge Defense Force, rising to command his own starship. As captain of the Invincible, with a loyal crew behind him and a galaxy to explore, he was content... but he should have known better if he thought he could leave the past behind him forever.
Based in part on (and replacing) the 1993 UF story Secrets, this is the story of how the end of the Exile began.
And now, at a time almost as far-removed from its serialization as it was from the publication of its predecessor, Manhunt becomes the latest EPU work to get the remaster treatment.

And now he's remastered Star-Crossed (which he was already planning to do on account of its proximity to Manhunt) and Futureshock (on what he describes as "a completely random whim").

First update to the What's New page in a year and a half, give or take a fast week.
Quote:In which strange(r even than usual) forces gather in wartime Gallia: Mythic Dawn, an Our Witches at War special episode in five introductory chapters, to be posted first on the Forum, then compiled and continued as a regular story file. Chapter 1: "Death Takes a (Mandatory) Holiday"
Gryph said something, in a post I thought about quoting here, to the effect that the Hololive folken had broken the creative logjam from which he'd been suffering for a while, had been the missing pieces for which he was waiting to move certain things forward. I'm just at the point where Harley meets a reaper, but if that reaper be who I think she is, I think we're seeing that cryptic promise start to play out.

I really need to catch up on OWAW. I sort of fell out of reading it way back when Remilia Scarlet's younger sister -- not a Touhou fan, I can't remember her name -- first showed up.
