Aagh! my least favourite typo:
Casualties NOT causalities!
Otherwise, cool stuff. Back to the action next chapter?

Oops. Bad typo. Funny the spell checker didn't pick it up. Is causalities a real word?
New version uploaded!
Getting close to the end now. Two, maybe three more chapters.
Cheers,
Drew.

yes. causality is the phenomenon of time moving in one direction only, as experienced by 4dimensionally aware beings.
cause and effect as it were.
(ie be clean, shoot a cop, become a fugitive. not vice versa; be a fugitive, shoot cop, become clean)

Again a nice one.
I like the 'Sinclair' bastardisation

I liked the little nod to Star Wars 1 too...
Oh, and it's also got my least favourite typo in it.
It's: contraction of IT IS (IT'S not my Cobra)
Its: demarcation of posession (the Cobra fired ITS laser)
<shudder>
Nice installment though - poor old Lave's moon...it's gonna get a beating...

Excellent work as usual! Is this leading to explain why in the later (and vastly inferior to Oolite) sequels to Elite (FFE/FE2) make you a Fugitive if you start at Lave (Press 3)? This is the reason for the big GalCop Vs Imp+Feds fallout?

You'll have to wait and see...! Though <hint>Selezen knows the answer</hint>
