Here's to breaking up chains of self-replying!

-Early in the story ppl said that Othaglot was useless and Cane was doing all the clever stuff. Has that been turned around now? I want it to swing back and forth.

Definitely. Now that he's back in his element (police work, interrogating criminals), Othy's doing quite well.

It's almost as if they've switched bodies

-Is there too much emphasis on "background knowledge?"

Seems fine to me. The background needed for the plot points comes pretty naturally, and seems fairly obvious in hindsight.

Thanks S_J. Excuse my self-pitying whinges back there.

Chapter 11 is up. It's all gonna get a bit sinister now...

Chapter 12 is up. Maybe I'll save some of the sinisterness for later.

Here's a link for anyone too lazy to go find it=-)

Woohooo!

Chapter 13 is up.

Ohhhh, the plot thickens....

Chapter 14 is up. Minor cosmetic tweaks have been made to some previous chapters, but nothing worth re-reading them for.

Click here for the new Chapter.

BTW, my old email address (the altavista one) will stop working soon, since altavista have decided to withdraw the service. My new address for all communication is dogscoff@eudoramail.com so please update your address books, those of you who ever email me.

The top of the page for chapter 14 says 'Chapter 13' -- recycling the previous page as a form for the next one has its minor hazards...

Very interesting. I figured that's who she'd turn out to be when she first appeared, though.

Darn if I can make the faintest at guess what the 'big plot' behind all of this is, though.

Thanks for the bugspotting. I'll sort that.

There's still room for a surprise yet=-) For example, we haven't seen who's in the cryo tube that Cane and Singh are about to open...

Seriously, I've been trying to heavily signpost the possibility of Sloo as the escapee, all the while implying that she's a vicious, unstable, manipulative and highly dangerous psychopath. I was kind of hoping to make Cane's innocent friendship with her as sinister as possible. Egomaniac that I am, I like to imagine that everyone's been biting their fingernails in anticipation of the Chapter where she finally turns. At the same time I've been trying to foster a sense of "this is too obvious, it can't be her...

Well, that's pretty much exactly how you had me thinking, so you did a pretty good job.

Oh, yea, BUMP
