Who cares about the Glaicer. I want more evil characters and dark plots to take over the world. Oh wait, ooo I am writing this story aren't I? Well in that case, we shall go back to the Glacier and find out what is happening.

Like I have asked in other Posts, how do you guys come up with this stuff? How? I have been following this story since you first posted it, and it never failed to keep my interest. Bravo Atrocities.

I do however have a couple of questions.

1. If they did not already have artificial gravity, then how did they keep the Tempest in the Air?

2. What are Trax and Tanix? Are they humans or these new characters, the Alorians?

3. How far are you going to take this story? By that I mean to ask are you going to take this story in the same direction that other writers have gone? You know, a rendition of play-by-play story development, or are you going to keep it original and follow a different path?

4. Is there a back-story? About what happened prior to the ship crash landing?

5. Why do you write? What drives you to do it?

Thanks CNC.

I will explain the technology regarding the Tempest in greater detail in an up coming segment. It is slightly mentioned in a previous segment. The Tempest used Repulser technology to stay in the air. In fact all atmospheric ships use repulser technology. With the development of Gravametic technology, ships that once needed a tremendous amount of space to house there repluser generators will need only a fraction of that space to house a gravametric generator.

Additionally Gravimetric generators will alow large ships to leave the planet whereas in the past they could not because of there size.

Yes, I have a complete back story developed, and written already. That was one of the first things I did.

Yes in a way the story will follow a game of SEIV, but will not solely depend upon that game to keep new stories coming in.

Why do I write? I guess I do it because I have always been a writer. I have never applied my talent to story telling before. I have a lot of experience in writing scripts for ENG and other productions. I have spent the Last 8 years writing techniqual manuals, SOP's, and other documents for my former employer. Writing a story just seemed like a fun thing to do, and it is. In many ways the story tells itself and all I do is try to keep up.

I hope this answers your questions.
