Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread

[dogscoff]

Well, I'm glad you haven't completely forgotten us. But this feels a bit rushed.

I can believe that, it's kind of a first draft for this chapter=-) I'll probably re-read and refine it in a chapter or two.

Couldn't we have been in on the actual move to the other ship to prepare his background cover?

Well, I only thought of it after finishing the Last chapter, and to be honest there;s nothing too interesting about it.

And was there any mention of the other 'victim' in any previous chapter?
But suddenly there he is in Cane's background story.

Yes, there was. *rummages through notes* ... Extract from Chapter 14:

It seems the human homeworld police were looking for a known associate of our Olric following an incidence of “petty theft” some 30 or 40 weeks ago. Mr Cane Senior was not convinced. “Between you and me, the intelligence agencies were involved and it sounds like they were turning the entire bloody galaxy upside- down for him. He showed up dead in an alley a week later with very strange wounds
and Chapter 16:

You remember I mentioned a “petty theft” connected to an associate of your victim? Well, the associate was another of these Viking types, and the theft was from a military research lab. I said it didn’t look too petty, didn’t I? Ha!

Also, a theft of a new military technology is hardly a 'petty' theft!

See above.
