Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread

[dogscoff]

Well, I'm glad you haven't completely forgotten us. But this feels a bit rushed.

I can believe that, it's kind of a first draft for this chapter=-) I'll probably re-read and refine it in a chapter or two.

Couldn't we have been in on the actual move to the other ship to prepare his background cover?

Well, I only thought of it after finishing the Last chapter, and to be honest there;s nothing too interesting about it.

And was there any mention of the other 'victim' in any previous chapter?
But suddenly there he is in Cane's background story.

Yes, there was. *rummages through notes* ... Extract from Chapter 14:

It seems the human homeworld police were looking for a known associate of our Olric following an incidence of �petty theft� some 30 or 40 weeks ago. Mr Cane Senior was not convinced. �Between you and me, the intelligence agencies were involved and it sounds like they were turning the entire bloody galaxy upside- down for him. He showed up dead in an alley a week later with very strange wounds
and Chapter 16:

You remember I mentioned a �petty theft� connected to an associate of your victim? Well, the associate was another of these Viking types, and the theft was from a military research lab. I said it didn�t look too petty, didn�t I? Ha!

Also, a theft of a new military technology is hardly a 'petty' theft!

See above.
