...and chat we did. Anyway, great stuff, CJ. Really dug all the historical aspects from Lykopis' point-of-view....

Thank you. I had just read about Shrapnel in one of the Richard Sharpe books. Seems Captain Sharpe liked that new-fangled French-killing bullet...;)

Good stuff all. I think everyone's starting to get the hang of what can be done with Adem. Brilliant idea, CJ. Funny and smart. Whoo-hoo!
And I'm trying to wrap up the Dirk solo I've left hanging out there for so long. I wrote it all out and lost it on my computer. It's been really hard for me to get into rewriting the whole damn thing, so I made some changes since I hadn't really gotten too far into it. Now, I'm psuedo interested in it again and can only hope to grow my interest more as I work out this revised plot. Here's to hopin'.

Well done CJ! What a perfect take on the metavirus, and a natural cure. Not to mention damn well getting McGregor's character down. Brilliance.

I think a lot like McGregor. Which scares me. A lot. Lord help us all if I get accepted to USF...

At Ceej's behest, I've posted in the story. I'm not sure how much more I can do with Icarus this story... or at least until he's fully recooperated. If I see another opening, though, and I have the time, I'll take it...

Lykopis's solo is up and running. Chapter One is posted. It's all written. There are nine chapters and I want this all posted by Wednesday morning (I leave for Tampa then). So I'll probably post two or three chapters a day.

Since the story seemed to be sliding to a halt, I went ahead and started the tie-up. I left it open, though, in case anyone had anything else they want to do before we close this one down. It's certainly not my most imaginative of works, but, it gets the job done. Everyone should feel free to add their own ending if they would like....

Ozzy's expression dropped, as he looked around realizing that he was the only one left.
"Wait!" he yelled, looking back and forth along the neighborhood. "Come back! You forgot me!"
He started walking around, trying to find Gaunt.
"Goddamn it, it was just a joke!" he yelled into the night, before promptly tripping against the sidewalk, and falling backwards into the deep shadows...

"...I can walk...by myself..." Lykopis stated, pulling away from Ozzy's brace.
"You sure? You still look kind of we--...." Baxter frowned, his eyes suddenly widening a bit as he allowed his voice to trail off quickly.
Lykopis froze, slowly turning to meet his wide-eyed, foot-in-mouth expression with a cool stare.
"You...were....not....about...to...say....weak....were you?" the words came slow and precise, rolling from her tongue with a sizzle.
"Wonderful." Ozzy blurted out. "That's what I was going to say. You still look wonderful. And....and...it's a shame to, uh, not have you in my arms...anymore..."
Lykopis stared at Ozzy, her expression squeezing his bladder without mercy.
LOL.
Guess you've been reading the solo. Or else, really creepy coindidence.

I did want an epilogue to resolve the Icarus/Green Party thing. Dunno if I can do it now, though...

I thought that was what he was doing while everyone was fighting Mueller. At least, that's what I took from it. Still, anything can be added. I'm in no rush to get straight to the next one....

Yeah, I pretty much thought what Pro thought. Hence, the bugs dying as he flew into the swarm at first... and his running out of gas being his reason for retreat.
