[Nightfall]

Hood, my friend, just got rid of another load that was pulling me back. Outgrown some
underwear. Never was a good teacher though.. need to think well before another try at
teaching someone something.

Ever heard of 'comitatus' - described by the Roman historian Tacitus it is the bond
existing between a germanic warrior and his Lord, ensuring that neither leaves the field
of battle before the other. The translation would be "Moreover, to survive the leader
and retreat from the battlefield is a lifelong disgrace and infamy".

Seems that I may need to go that way.. possibly with multiple short allegiances. I
would like to start with offering my services to the IND. The ships will be tagged as
'Comes-Nightfall' and 'Comes-B.Fokke' as bodyguards and companions to the
members.

I think I'll be offering the same services to the Angels soon.


Bernard :cool:

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
