Baby Babble

The ship had hung above the Earth that had created it like a giant, blunted needle. So large that it had been visible for the last 15 years of its construction even with the naked eye. Its engines had been charging for two years, the vast solar collectors had soaked up 2% of the Sun's energy output and had dealt a swift blow to the problem of continued global warming. It was fitted with seven of only twelve fusion reactors so far built by mankind. All fifteen of the world's fastest supercomputers were currently operational inside its main computing core. Twelve of them had been used to calculate and recalculate billions of times a second the tiniest point in space, a point that was moving relative to the Earth and the Universe in general at many millions of miles per second.

I like it DH.

[Cmdr Wyvern]

Nice find, DH.

Nice length as it is. Very good.

At a personal level I find the present tense extremely irritating when reading a story, but that's not a criticism, more my own predudice.

Cheers,

Drew.
