Only two disagreements.
One, i'm not saying the air war is unimportant, but that it's not as important as books, games, and tv make it out to be.
Two, in THIS story, you got no way of saying what technology is obselete. Even America still uses bombers for the big bombs. Not everything will fit on the wing of a jet.
Other than that, thats exactly what i was trying (and couldn't quite) to say.

Books, games, etc. make air power seem far more important than it actually is, I agree. They tend to do that to a lot of things, actually... >.>

True, though the development of technology generally follows a logical path. Stories where people have portals and rayguns and yet are still in the dark ages otherwise make no sense (certain parts of Stargate SG-1, for example, though I did enjoy that series).

Update time!

17th Opal 208

Due to an error in the containment facility, the marksdwarves only approach close enough sometimes, and hence, people come in to the room, become frightened off by the spawn, and drop their loads. It's piling up, so it's a race against time before too much becomes left there.

Foolish wimps. I mean, yes, the Spawn are frightening, but not THAT frightening.



18th Opal 208

The merchants have finally left.



I haven't seen Vanya since the lockdown... and Talvi's only just shown up again. She seems strange and a bit more subdued than usual.
It's weird. I know Talvi's a bit crav/zy. But she is behaving... NORMALLY. Normal for Talvi is insane for her.

It's chilling, in a way.

The soap production continues, as does the yarn manufacturing. We will be known for our clothing, mark my words!

Corai, Nevyn and Doctormonch try hard to build the walls before the sight of the spawn growling ineffectually at them overwhelms and they flee. It's amusing, in a way.

The coati we captured just after the spawn siege is now trained. Strange little creature.

We're actually running out of space for the food we have. I've ordered more pots to be made to contain the food, and more space for the food.

Lomoth, the most recent addition to our pet forgotten beasts, sits bubbling about happily in its pond. I've named the pond Lake Lomoth The Stupid Chicken Thing.



21st Opal 208

I've been getting Fischer and the others to show me a few tricks. Can't be too careful. I miss Vanya. There was something about her that was... different to the other women in this fort. I realise now that it's not a creepy drug-fueled adulation as I had for Rose, nor the lust fueled by loneliness I had for Rochia.

Something about Vanya seemed... right.

Heeheehee, seeing Talvi's sidestory being officially incorporated into the main LP makes me feel all fuzzy for some reason.

Yay, Vanya's in the official updates. :D I'm really tired at the moment, but I think I'm going to see if I can write a brief journal entry for Talvi later on...

About the dropping stuff issue - can't you just forbid/suspend everything in the room and restrict the hallway?

Also, you just want to make it into soup because he's a chicken and you're a turkey..... Hmm, a turkey with a terrifying mohawk and two battleaxes or a giant giant chicken with poison dust... You know, I'm actually not sure who'd win that one.

Probably the chicken in the long run cause of the dust but it'd be too dead and in too many peices to enjoy winning.
