ROFL!
I wish to purhase the movie rights.

Hmmm... I like that idea. I suggest we save money on casting by having you guys act most of the parts, then we can splash out and have a few big name stars to fill in the female roles=-)

-Cane: Atrocities would be perfect
-Othaglot: State of the art CGI, voiced by Geo.
-Enyemin Cane: Mac and Growltigga can fight over this role. The loser gets their legs amputated for the role of Captain Frasier.
-Loorl: More CGI, but voiced by Rollo.
-Loorl's Vikings: More CGI, all of them voiced by Narf.
-Sloo: Milla Jojovich sprayed purple. She might look a bit odd compared to the state of the art CGI on all the other Cappans, and she'd actually be far better as Chell, but it's Sloo that gets the shower scene=-)
-Actually, if Sloo is played by Milla Jojovich, I'm playing alongside her as Cane. Sorry Geo. ;-)
-Amda Blaze-Stout: Hmm, tricky, this one. has to be someone quite powerfully built and with real authority & presence. Kind of like a female Patrick Stewart. Most popular actresses seem to be too wet and girly imho. If Whoopee Goldberg was taller, she'd do.
-Dr Singh: Phoenix-D
-Dr Ollaroo: Voiced by CapnQ
-Commander Lock: S_J
-Erik the Shed: Puke
-Stevv: Krsqk
-Wolf & Ve: Rags & Timstone.
-Director: Baron M

Did I miss anyone? We still have plenty of parts open: Glooloosl (Gla boss), the security team on the mining colony, Othaglot's colleague from the homeworld police force, Cappa Loog, the 6 Orros from the cargo container, Wilm (murdered on the marilyn before he gets a line), Cracktooth the barman, the gun-dealer (be aware that this part requires nudity), the bouncer at the Atlanti (next chapter, be aware that this part requires surgery), Olric (be aware that this part requires decapitation), various nameless crew members on the Endeavour & Marilyn, a Sergetti waiter and Tor Hammer (both next chapter) and, of course, about a million drunken vikings, city dwellers and bystanders...

Chapter 28 is up. Last chance; If you have been thinking about re-reading from the start, I advise you do so now. This chpater refers back to a lot of stuff that happened a while ago and answers many of the questions that have been hanging about for a long long time.

of course in doing so it opens up a whole bunch of new questions, but you expected that, right?

good stuff, I can't wait for more

I was happy to see the Bifrost Lodge a few chapters back. When will we see Madame Oogle's Tentacle House? (perhaps in one of the courier stories).

about the movie: Milla is an excellent choice, but I demand some changes to the plot. Loorl needs some scenes with Sloo then . And I want to do the motion capture also .

Very interesting but it doesn't answer all of our questions yet. Sloo is not confirmed dead. The ultimate 'Oh ****!' moment is still lurking out there if she should turn up.

Also, the Vikings on earth must be a rather large organization, and operated like an intelligence agency, if he could have known so much about Sloo while never having met her. That makes them an organized crime syndicate similar to the Mafia. Wouldn't they have attracted more attention from law agencies if they were that dangerous? And don't they have rivals?
