Hiver | 71 |
Right then: Hiver never actually existed. The thing that thought it was him was actually an experimental AI developed by a shady tech group within the United Federation of Planets. He only found this out because his creator terminated the simulation Hiver'd grown up in and explained the situation to him. Hiver and his clones eventually decided to specialize in being starships and space stations, and thus most of them ended up being genderbent lesbians. For the details, you'll have to slog through the last... what was it, five stories? Six? Something like that. It's likely to take you a while.Can someone give some context on the SI? i dont have much knowledge of star trek
It's not just full of stars buddy. The universe also happens to be filled with blood sucking lawyers.Glad to see the next story. I'm sorry, but I found the Sith one just angesty and depressing.
And your starting out this plot with that famous line?!?![]()
I did feel that this series got kind of dull and repetitive.Hopefully this story is more interesting than the preceding one, I remember it being somewhat dull. Or maybe that was just the WoW serial. Eh.
…Okay, I'm spinning now. This is not an improvement.
"Mom! Stop laughing, I'm trying!" I complained and puffed another thruster with power, slowly stopping the spinning, but now I was drifting slowly away and 'down' relative to the GSV.
Only in this case, crashing a giant Starship is equivalent to crashing a bike. And you know they will never let you forget it.What's the point of being a parent if you can't laugh at the stupid shit your kid does that they'll feel embarassed about immediately, nevermind in ten or twenty years?
Last I remember the split from the federation was very recent news, if not actively in progress. How the Jovians operate and organize themselves now is a mystery to me that I'm trying to pick up from context clues.Good chapter, but it has been long enough since previous installments that you really should have worked in a sentence about what Contact is, since a lot of readers may not know.
Doubtless there will be some Special Circumstances, no? IIRC, Contact has at least four divisions: SC, one dealing with hegswarms like the Borg and Berserkers, one dealing with the Q and similar entities, and then the regular diplomatic corps. And SC seems like the place where non-Jovians can be more than lawn ornaments or pets.
God I want pictures to fully flesh out the new ship designs, my mind is using basically Temporal vessels from STO...

They're a structural weakness?Commonwealth ships don't have windows. At least ships expected to end up in dangerous space.
The windows aren't glass -transparent aluminum- which is supposedly 'ultra strong'. I'd guess that between shields, emergency forcefields from backup generators and perhaps running a structural integrity field through the things windows might make sense on anything that might be shot at. I was thinking its the same as the cheese-wire argument over seatbelts on starships. Anything powerful enough to bust through a window is as likely to wreck any other part of a ship, with leaving out windows covering the small percentage of times that the hull might resist what would penetrate them.
