Hotfoot- Thanks very much! I'm so glad you are enjoying it! It does take a while to complete a turn, and sometimes I find myself wondering how it will all end up. However, the writing is so much fun, I can't skip ahead! Also, if it's pie you demand for your time, head on over to Phongs and I will eat a piece with you!
Geo- the problem with Renton is that while I would love to promote him...no one is dying! I haven't been able to find a reason to promote him yet.
If he were in the 2nd Brigade, which is poised to drop on the Rage homeworld, he might soon find a truckload of spots open.
