Reverse Alienation, an Experiment
This is a short piece I wrote this week. It's an experimental science fiction piece exploring the idea of reverse alienation, and how a group would be perceived by someone with absolutely no prior knowledge about them, their culture, or even their species. Enjoy.

Look, a game about metal gods in a land of hard rock where heade bangers (yes, that is spelled correctly) are imprisoned and forced into slave labor just begs for a good beat down. But then they went and added an umlaut to the title and I find myself strangely defenseless against this games heavy metal wiles.

29. April 2009
If you were a fan of science fiction movies, or pop culture in general from the mid to late 70s all the way to the early 90s, there was a very good chance that your poison of choice had a trading card set to go along with the promotion of the movie or television show. When I saw the box for the Dune cards, I had to buy. They were being sold for one dollar a pack. Since it was an incomplete box with 29 out of 36 remaining I talked the vendor down to 20 dollars for the rest of the box. These are something that you don't see anymore: Wax Packs.

28. April 2009
As satisfying as the technical side of the series is, it would be nothing without an engaging story. As the tale opens the two immense human governments (sentient aliens never having been encountered) have been at war for an entire century. One hundred years of total war, devastating both sides to the point that ships rarely survive five years (and remember, just getting from point A to B takes weeks, even months) and officers are young and poorly trained. The bulk of the Alliance fleet has been drawn into a trap in the Syndic capital system, given a 'key' to use the Syndic hypernet gate system by a supposed traitor. Worse than the fleets decimation is the loss of the entire flag staff. (All the senior captains and all the admirals) Their only hope, trapped so far behind enemy lines, is Captain 'Black Jack' Geary, a legendary hero thought killed in the very first battle of the war, found by the fleet in a damaged life pod as it headed towards ambush.
