So are we settled on couriers for all FTL communication?

Thanks to all for the Kra'Vak and FH links etc. I fear that the FH as told is
not wholly accurate, I fear that it is subject to a great deal of NAC

propoganda. :-D

Maybe if/when I get this thing finished you might want to read it, but
I'm not making any promises, I have a few fiction projects on the go at the
moment... plus a degree thingy

Anyway thanks

No, no. It's UNSC propaganda. You've only seen the white ships with the blue
markings, right, not the Black Fleet... hang on, there's someone at the door.

Never mind. There is no Black Fleet, and the Kra'Vak have always attacked
humanity without provocation. Have a nice day.

What do you mean 'without provocation'?

Those blood-thirsty monsters have had all the provocation they've ever
needed: the presense of other sentient life forms. They must be the only
civilisation in the galaxy! They ruthlessly destroy all... er, excuse me,
there's scratching at the door. Must be the dog...

Have you *all* forgotten your aluminum foil helmets? Here, here's a device we
call The Little Blinky Thing, look right here...

KV aren't all that bad but it is *impossible* to keep Ramen noodles in stock
when they're allowed in the kitchen, and you can't leave a FT game set up
overnight without them moving the ships around.

Hate it when that, "THWACK!!" Ahh I mean it was after all a much more logical
deployment of forces....)

A-ha! So the KV are basically just like the Angles, Saxons, Jutes,
Goths, etc. in late Roman times... That explains it all.

The KV are running from... SPACE HUNS! <eg> And their dread leader
A'Til'A!

I wonder if Harry Belafonte is available for a cover...

Oh, before the NBS shows, does anyone know where I can find a copy Karla's
Kidnap? The links I've been seeing appear dead.

G'day,

If its any help to anyone I THINK (I'd have to check) that I've got Karla's
Kidnap at home. I did have to go get Rot Hafen again recently (original link
http://www.concentric.net/~Los/ft/lossf.htm is still up), but I think I
still have Karla's. I'll let you know.

Cheers
