What I really wanted to see was Snippet #17--before I have to be offline for a couple of days.
Enjoy, everyone, I'm outta here! |

Agreed... if Thirsk is still with us. Remember that short little bombshell of a snippet a while back. Everyone seemed to think it was the same sort of thing we had with Hektor back in LAMA. Could be, but I'm not sure. This time it could be for real. Don When any group seeks political power in God's name, both religion and politics are instantly corrupted.

I don't believe for one second that Thirsk is dead. This is some ploy designed to get Thirsk out from under the Inquisition. ========================

We shall see. I hope you are right. But I have a queasy feeling. Don When any group seeks political power in God's name, both religion and politics are instantly corrupted.

I've just re read both snippet two and snippet 16. In snippet two we have
and in snippet 16
I suppose it could be a coincidence that we have two LT Bryahnsyn's on opposite sides of the conflict, but I'm a little hesitant to accept it as that. Has there been any textev that the unit in snippet 16 is not attached to Hanth's army? ========================

From the officer in Snippet 16's internal monologue. |

Okay, that tends to indicate he is on the CoGA side, although he MIGHT have been referring to his own - adopting the label of heretics as a badge of honor. ========================

Like the colonial army in the US singing "Yankee Doodle," which was written by the British to mock them? I see what you're aiming at, but I can't think of an example in the entire series where someone thinks of the "heretics" military maneuvers and isn't referring to the EoC. In this case, it's pretty clear that Lieutenant Ahrnahld Bryahnsyn and his troops in this snippet have been stationed by the sunken barges either to sound the alarm if they see enemy activity, or to prevent any attempts by the ICA/ICN to blow them up. Sadly, the only promotion I foresee in Lt. Bryahnsyn's future is a rather sudden relocation to a better place - or a worse one if he's lived a particularly wicked life like Clyntahn! "Oh bother", said Pooh as he glanced through the airlock window at the helmet he'd forgotten to wear. |

In all probability, you are right. The most likely scenario I've seen here is that someone is planting explosives. If that is the case the poor guy is going to find himself at ground zero of a rather spectacular explosion.

Okay, I'll buy that. Where is the line of sunken barges. Its not at Yairdyn, there's no one left there . Its not 20 miles north of Yairdyn, there's no one there because it is undefensible. It might be at Trevyr, although there is only a small delaying force there. It would appear from the map, that the next reasonable place on the Seridahn River is at Evrytyn,and that basically cuts off Alvarez and any hope he has to get out of the trap his army is in. Presumably when Rychtyr has to retreat from Evrytyn, he will do so down the Sheryl-Seridahn Canal, assuming that Hanth doesn't cut it behind him. ========================
