Breakaway Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Eighty-Three

As Bel Iblis showed Watt through his base, which he had dubbed "Peregrine's Nest," he began to explain his current situation to him.

Breakaway Rebellion: Civil War II Chapter Eighty-Two

As James Watt flew through countless star systems at a speed far exceeding that of light, memories flooded his mind—memories from centuries of life. He began to wonder how he could have forgotten all of these: his two children, his two wives, and the way he had helped forge alliances across the Alpha Quadrant.

The Ballad of St. Germain: Civil War II Chapter Eighty-One

The battle ended, and repair work soon began. This part of London Below was all but destroyed, and many hundreds had died trying to defend it.

The Ballad of St. Germain: Civil War II Chapter Eighty

Old Bailey didn't have enough time. As Picard and St. Germain began to marshal their troops, and as the vampire put together what he thought was a watertight plan, they attacked, and they attacked in numbers. The stormtroopers stormed London Below like a swarm of bees, cutting down everything in sight. Try as they might, the weapons of the London Resistance were nothing compared to those of the Imperials.

The Ballad of St. Germain: Civil War II Chapter Seventy-Nine

Soon, the scruffy old-timer was making his way through the crowded "streets" of London Below, through the Market. He soon arrived at his destination. Picard sat up in his seat when he entered; he was surprised to see him.

The Ballad of St. Germain: Civil War II Chapter Seventy-Eight

As Lestat and the High Wolfman walked towards their hired ship, Lestat began to question his own actions. Was he doing the right thing? Although Louie was perhaps his oldest friend, he had also been his oldest enemy. Perhaps the old saying about keeping enemies close rang true for the both of them.

The Ballad of St. Germain: Civil War II Chapter Seventy-Seven

St. Germain had thought about much in his shuttle trip to the Old Bailey. He had even considered accepting Commander Sleer's offer. He thought about the look on Sleer's face, of how he would rank over him again in the grand design—Palpatine's grand design.

The Ballad of St. Germain: Civil War II Chapter Seventy-Six

He had been alive for over six hundred years. He had travelled far, from his home in New Orleans, to Eastern Europe, to Paris, and to the far reaches of the Mutare Nebula.

Are You a True Football Fan?

I have a question for you today. Are you a true football fan?

Let me elaborate a little. A few days ago I was watching the Edinburgh derby between Hibernian and Hearts. I joined the action about thirty minutes in. By half-time Hibs were up two-nil, and three minutes into the second half they added a third.

What is "So I Said to This Bloke?"

QUESTION: What is “So I Said to This Bloke?”

Well, “So I Said to This Bloke, Or Adding Other People’s Words Into an A.I. App” is a collection of songs I made on the Mozart AI songwriting app.

QUESTION: What’s it all about?

It doesn’t really have any theme. When I first downloaded the app I wondered what certain things would sound like if they were put to music, and then I wondered what certain songs would sound like if they were put to different styles of music.
