Damn.

Pete, could you maybe give us something vaguely approaching a happy ending?

While I'm not totally comfortable with some of the images you've presented,
I'm prepared to accept them as part of the world, part of the plot. And I
have to say that once I got past the racist CoT attitudes and the nasty
brutishness of their actions, I was fascinated by what the real situation
was (and I still don't know that, but that's partly what fascinates me).

I'd like to do as much with whatever you're still prepared to do.

Hell, maybe you could give the TK list a victory of some sort, let someone
take Abbadon out. I don't know. I was sort of hoping that we could rally
nearly the entire active list and go smash the sh*t out of CoT and Abbadon.
But I guess not.

Hey, with the quest and it's deciphering (I'm still lost, but I've been
working) maybe tDS could have enough to track down Abbadon and the two
could duke it out. Or *something* more satisfying than Abbadon simply
fading into the shadows. It might not be the realistic ending you might
want, but it might make some people happy if the TK cause of the brutality
is dealt with.

I don't know. It's your call. I'm a little irked about it (between TK and
RN, it has *not* been a good day for the lists), but it's your plot, your
call.

BTW, I think you were mixing up Airwasp and Vamphyri. Airwasp left,
Vamphyri cried. Airwasp, I don't know. Vamphyri, I remember from days
long past and I really would like Vamphyri to stick around.

Anyway, I'll make a post on TK regarding the quest. Then I'm basically off
for the weekend. I hope that things can get sorted out by the time I sign
back on Monday morning and we can get back to writing interesting
interactive fiction.

Erik J.
