Good news: I have the next two chapters written.

Bad news: I haven't uploaded them yet, they are still being proofed, polished and padded. Hoping to upload before Saturday.

Good news: If you go to my website and the O&C main page, you'll see that I've uploaded a couple of maps you may find interesting.

Bad news: The site still isn't working in mozilla, opera, firefox or netscape.

Good news: It works beautifully in Internet Explorer, so come on everyone, take a look!

Ah yes, the mighty Texrak battlecow. Those aren't guns, you know, they're mustard dispensers. Download the proportional response pack and you can rotflyao every time you invade their puny pink homeworld.

Awww, but you gotta feel sorry for them, don't ya? Have you read A Texrak Tale ?

But you've got the guns pointing in the wrong direction. Shouldn't they be oriented properly for use in the usual tactic of Texrak troops? Aren't the Texrak related to the Pierson's Puppeteer?

A rollicking tale of interstellar murder, mystery, betrayal, intrigue, espionage, more betrayal, conspiracy and politics. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, big unexpected explosions, reckless drinking and (in the best Enterprise tradition) a gratuitous female alien shower scene.
ROFL!

Chapter 27 is up at http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction! I know I promised it Last week (or the week before..? I lose track) but it needed a lot of rewriting and I got very distracted by Slashem. Also, the site is still not working in non-IE browsers. Sorry.

Anyway, here it is. Not much plot this chapter- more sightseeing really, but believe me the next chapter will be extremely plot-heavy. Many of the big questions still outstanding will be answered in chapter 28 and by the end of it people should (finally) have enough information to start making reasonable guesses as to what the hell is going on and what everyone is up to. Assuming you can remember what the hell was going on back in chapter 2, anyway.

Therefore if you have been thinking of re-reading from the start, I strongly suggest you do so soon, Chap28 is mostly written and could be released in a matter of days.
However if you have not been thinking of re-reading from the start, I strongly suggest you do so soon, Chap28 is mostly written and could be released in a matter of days.
If, on the other hand, you haven't read any of the story yet, I strongly suggest you do so. Read it all, now!

Everyone got that?

Comments, suggestions, criticism, typoes & praise are all welcome here, as always.
