Man, I haven't watched that show since I left my parents place. Mum loved it, still does. I dunno if she knows it's finally reached an end yet...

Matrix Dragon, J. Random Nutter

"Right now," Said Smithy, as he kept his head low, plasma and bullets flying over the top of the front desk, some ricocheting and splashing off the (thankfully) armoured front, "Right now, I really wish we hadn't had to get rid of that fruitcake Gabriel Kent."

"Smithy, he was a nutter. Pure and simple. He was killing people! Why would you want him here, now?"

"The man was a talented sniper. He was using an antique rifle and was pulling off shots that the WDF's top cyber-augmented snipers said that they admired. Can you think of what he'd have made of that lot-" he jerked his head in the general direction of the whooping gang members outside the doors- "When we got him to the roof with a decent rifle?"

"It's difficult keeping up with the cross-continuity, but I think Cosmouse just gave The Saturnian Scraphunter his Ultimate Pacifier to use against Galactapuss..."

So are these fictionalized accounts of the events in (and/or concurrent with) Outward Trajectory?

(Yes, I know the song said 'or', not 'at'.)

“They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on.”
-- Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington
