Is there somewhere I could read this story in order? I would like to read it/see it.

spasibo tovarish! 

Reading... 

[Geo]

What is Valjiir exactly? A sort of working melt of an empath and a logician?

[Buster's Uncle]

It runs together the last names, or something, of Ruth and Jiila, the central fan characters in the series...

[Geo]

Oh. 

[Valka]

The main characters are Ruth Valley and Jilla Majiir. Valjiir. Ruth is a computer expert, Jilla is an engineer, and they have a sort of telepathic-empathic bond that lets them communicate in half-sentences and make perfect sense to each other.

And depending on how you look at it, they're both sorta bonded to Spock, although Ruth is the one legally married to him, and Jilla is also bonded to Sulu.

It sounds confusing, but they get it worked out in the end.

Reading this... this is brilliant. I expected what Surrm was going to do... but still the fact of seeing it happen 

Men like Surrm, that exceeding arrogance and pompousness, coupled with... his social mindset (especially to the other gender) is the type of men in Afghanistan that mysteriously, and brutally seemed to die under my supervision. I have very little respect for that barbaric philosophy, me being a passionate man and one who follows a more equity focused mindset...

Edit: Though.. I will say Colar is much more noble  then me. Edit 2: And telekinetic to boot and with much more self control.

I'm glad you enjoyed the story.    I'll convey your compliments to the author.

Yes, Sorrm is very nasty customer.  He's lucky Colar was there to keep him from getting the retribution his actions merited....

[JarlWolf]

I wonder how she will react when you tell her, "Hey, an old, grizzled ex-soviet military man likes your stories."

 

Thought amused me. I doubt its really relevant though, t'was a fun read.

Spoiler alert!

oops... Hey, well, he might get away, you never know...

Have been sick this week, but am starting work on illustrations for "The Percentage."

Among the things I have to create before I can start rendering images -- an emblem for the uniforms of the crew of the S.S. Pocahontas.  Here's what I've come up with.  Look plausible?

[Valka]

I wouldn't know about the emblem, but I've always enjoyed this story! 

[Geo]

It looks... leafy.
