    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Hot chocolate needs a small pinch of salt and a bit of chili to bring out the full potential. Or, if it's steaming hot, marshmallows. Or whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice. Or a splash of mint. But yes, perfection is unattainable, there's only the pursuit of it and the lovely rest...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Agent Thorne can report having successfully established a covert network as well as having subverted the vice-governor! Excellent work! And Darna has turned an ISB agent! Not by coercion , bribery, or for petty revenge, but because her work with Governor Mola is legitimately superior in...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Should be fine so long as Mola doesn't pull a Pollux Proclamation and decide to forcibly annex worlds into his Guild. Cameron's problem wasn't that he brought peace to the Inner Sphere through careful violence and great diplomacy, it's that he tried to expand it to the Periphery through great...

    Damn, Darna is even doing the police state better than that hack Thorne.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Carriers do have the advantage that your fighters don't need to waste precious space for a hyperdrive, large wings can cover most of an entire system by themselves, and can easily split their attention and resources between multiple objectives... And, as we've seen, they are far from useless...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    You know, I see two possibilities for why the Empire put so much effort into battleships - sorry, "star destroyers" - over more efficient and cost-effective carriers; 1. Dictator Disease. Palpatine is many things, but he's not actually a general. A politician, a schemer, a powerful force...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Well, it might be a combination of the growing bond, plenty of food (wonder if all those snacks have a Force-enhancing effect on Mugwuffin?), and a simple matter of speed, power, and precision. Lifting an unresisting person from the chair to the couch does not necessarily equal the ability to...

    The Devil of Delos (Youjo Senki/Westworld)

    Oof. But yeah, that's Tanya - cheerfully oblivious to so much of the human experience, and utterly terrifying in her fields of competence despite - or perhaps because of - it.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    It's a matter of parallel production. I want to say several years per ship, but given that the Clone Wars raged for all of three, you can probably crank out a capital ship in one year if you're playing with fully developed infrastructure and willing to pay premium for triple shifts and importing...

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    Spy just discovered that her perfect cover failed, and she has absolutely no idea why or when - yet, her boss apparently didn't mind. And, indeed, kept the fact that he knew to himself, up until this moment - where he calls in the favour she didn't even know she owed him. Game recognises game...

    Fourth [Worm Altpower!Taylor]

    I mean, looking at canon... Some forced time off in a hug-myself-sweater would probably have done him some good.

    Fourth [Worm Altpower!Taylor]

    Damn. This Armsmaster is gold. I could honestly read an entire book where he's the only POD.

    Fourth [Worm Altpower!Taylor]

    Very good. More! Please?

    *Cautiously raises one hand* Where... Where do you sign up? I wanna join this cult.

    The Devil of Delos (Youjo Senki/Westworld)

    The later seasons - the third in particular - establishes that while most people are predictable, there are some who defy expectations. Not constantly, of course, otherwise the ripple effect alone would make any predictions worthless, but little choices here and there which occasionally add up...

    The Devil of Delos (Youjo Senki/Westworld)

    Currently watching the fourth season of Westworld, and as a huge fan of a good Tanya-fic - this looks great! Especially since, as you say, those early years are woefully overlooked.

    For innocent people in Nar Shadda, death is a mercy.

    Governor's Gambit - Star Wars SI into Imperial Governor

    That's what shields are for, but guess what the admiralty in all their wisdom decided was too expensive for TIE fighters?

    Snek is a Good Boy [a Worm Crackfic]

    Huh. Here's to hoping Greg comes out of this with a dragon of his own; he could really use the social boost. Not status-wise, but helping him understand the nuances of social interaction would really help him as a person, I think. To be fair to him, the same could be said for basically every...

    Snek is a Good Boy [a Worm Crackfic]

    Unexpected, but wholesome. If I smash my laptop to the ground and demand another, would that be gauche?
