NO IT’S NOT THE ONLY REASON, AND YET:  Don’t Make It Easy.

FROM MACKEY CHANDLER:  A Reluctant Sovereign.

#CommissionEarned


When North America attacked the space habitats beyond the Moon they had no plan B if they failed. The Earth Claims Commission was already suffering a credibility crisis and North America’s disastrous failure and defeat left them with no muscle. Far flung worlds and stations were abandoned with no banking, no supply, and no news. The explorers who were owed royalties were cut off too. Lee and her father Gordon weren’t about to sit still for that. If you can repossess a ground car, why not a planet? Lee had standing to be sovereign of Providence but wasn’t all that fond of planets. She didn’t want to be bogged down with the day to day drudgery of sovereignty like her friend Heather on the Moon. Was there any reason she couldn’t have her cake and eat it too? None that she could see.

THERE IS NO TRUTH THERE, AND ALL WHO SEEK IT ARE DOOMED TO BE LOST:  Gaza and the truth famine.

THEY ARE SO PRACTICED AT FEARING THE DANGER (CONSERVATIVES) THEY’VE IMAGINED THAT THEY CANNOT RECOGNIZE THAT WHICH IS REAL (AND AT THEIR THROAT):  Macron pours petrol on the flames.

WE NEED A SERIOUS STUDY OF WHAT CULTURES ARE AND HOW THEY INTERACT AND CHANGE AND… WELL, EVERYTHING:  Culture Clash.

FROM HOLLY CHISM:  Certified Public Assassin.

Molly McGuire: murder for hire…

Working as a Certified Public Assassin was, after all, the fastest way to pay down millions of dollars of medical debt. Between that payment and the student loans from getting her associates’ degree, she’s barely making enough to keep body and soul together, but the debt’s almost gone.

Except…she’s paid her student loans. Many times over. There’s something going on, and her handler can’t figure out what. Hiring a hacker to track whatever’s glitching in the student loans database and programming seemed to be a logical next step; however, it isn’t just a glitch. Somebody’s got it in for Molly…and for everyone that has a license to kill.

This has barreled from circumstance through happenstance, and straight into enemy action. But who’s the enemy?
