[a lot of deep and deeper subtext on today's page one thinks]
Technology is all very fine, but if your goal is conserving Homo Sapiens, a deep relatively clean gene pool is paramount!*
If all can combine to remove the rottenest apple from the barrel, things will be much more optimal.
*( 22 million vs 6 million over half of which are android!
I'm a bit surprised Centcomm is willing escalate this situation as much as has happened so far.
Does New Troy Intel know about Decimus's Contingency Option?)
(Kind of hope so.)
That kinda reminds me, I sorta do have hopes that their goals of having the two cities become allies actually work out, for the simple reasoning that both cities have their strengths and their weaknesses, and if they were allowed to interact with each other, then the strengths of both would increase and the weaknesses of both would decrease--
Such as, say, the fertility problem in New Troy.
Also, how the two seem to have gone in opposite paths--bio-augmentation versus cybernetic augmentation; the two are (probably) roughly equivalent, but having them both would (likely) be even better. ;)
I find it odd that the respectable AIs don't have a more active intel-op in place in Nova Roma.*
One might think they would want access to rescue Aeneas.
Perhaps Centcomm had previously been too caught up in tracking NaCl smuglers...
*( I mean, TR has an agent in deep cover right in the heart of the action. Really!)
Im almost afraid to see what Kali intends to do in order to distract his royal insaness. His brain doesn't work right as it is....and Kali is likely to think up something l would need to make a sanity check against!
direct...focused.....And with a agenda for the benefit of everyone.....I am liking this guy.
Kali is still.......unsettleign but thats part of her charm....shame we can' ACCIDENTALLY have deci si ton a toilet and have its flush changed to Reactor vent ing
Ohoh I know, Kali's going to give him a Rubics Cube, maybe one based on a D20 with each side comprised of 20 sections???
Think that would keep him occupied?
IMNeverHO Unfortunately I don't think Tokyo Rose has a merged Nova Roma and New Troy in her sights. Also I would think that Big Blue as the ultimate successor to IBM and all their corporate greed and control, is probably interested in it either. I really think they both want Aeneas to be "grateful" ie slaved to one of them so they can further their own agendas against the other three, and at this point an insane Decimus in control is in either of their best interests so for Lynn Taylor to end up dead or worse forced in body slavery in a brothel would ensure the complete enmity of New Troy. However we can't forger the Lunar Rangers who are in the wastelands, Luna is not about to forget Terra for better or worse.
is that "is" or "Isnt" in the best intrests- just wondering. them finding Lynn Dead would simplify some matters.. slavery would be much worse. Luna ( as far as anyone knows has a "hands off" Policy to Terra. they will gladly pass notes / messages ect and charge the bajeeus out of both partys. but they will do there best to stay out of any shooting or such.
Hmm ... good thing CentComm didn't agree to Ramesy's original scorched-earth proposal for Lynn's rescue. That might have ... complicated ... things a bit, eh?
You might not be far off. Acantha is in a very vunerable state of mind and Lynn just happens to be offering the strong support she needs ( even though Lynn is pretty scared too.. )

this comment reminds me
of the current Vote Incentive.
"Looming and Overhanging!!!"
Go Vote

Think that would keep him occupied?
That's what preferred!
