Falidon's Whistle or The Official Introduction To The Tri-System Collective.

As I mentioned in my previous entry I plan over the summer to complete an extensive short story or potentially a novella which will serve as an introduction to the TSC or in its literary name the II or Impressive Infrastructure. The story will be titled Falidon's Whistle and will follow the two main characters less then heroic journey from the official territory of the Morphalm to the sprawling central city of Derlian while carrying freezer packs filled with roughly 22 dead morphalm babies which need their eggs and extraterrestrial semen removed to help propagate the increasinly shrinking population of the uninbred... Well that about sums up the brief summary of Falidon's Whistle.

A new post for the few of you I believe to be reading this sad but still burning ember of a blog.

Just today I asked Jeremy R. of Jeremy's Podcast what was so dark about the books of Peter Watts. The story goes that while speaking about various works of Hard SF and popular SF weapons Jeremy informed me of this Watts fellow who apparently has a trilogy which primarily takes place in some sort of underwater city near the shoulder of a volcanoe. To me it sounded much like a horrible adventure movie but I asked more about it. I was informed the material was so dark that the Russian government had the trilogy banned. It wasn't until this very evening when I finally asked what this dark material could be. As iturns out this city is inhabited by rapists, murderers and theifs. What a glorious concept. In fact it both suprised and encouraged me. For some time I have the idea for the Tri-System Collective to have a character by the name of Tibith to be a known rapist. Don't ask me why but I just felt like having the most unlikable character imaginable being used as an important plot device regarding UFO's in the main collective system being seen from an illegal telescope (I'll go more into detail about that later). This also encourages me because my other idea regarded a whole society connected to the collective who are like that of spanish royalty or any royalty for that matter only reveresed. You see the Morphalms would be divided amoung the inbred and the royal 1,600. The royal 1,600 would be a group of very well bred (and I mean diverse) individuals who are sperated from others because they are not inbred. I always thought it was nutty for royalty to inbred for you become deformed!

Well that is enough writing for this moment. I should inform you that due to my new found encouragment I plan over this very summer to complete a lengthy short story regarding TSC and the Morphalm inbred society under the title of Falidon's Whistle. Perhaps I will post it.

Over the top.

Does the idea of a pink coated man with a gal by the name of the Blue Nun harnessing gravitons in some sort of super theoretical rocket and flying through space to see if they can cross over to a seperate brane seem at all over the top?

What did those mutton chops do to poor Matt?

Recently I have made an important discovery.
Those who are die hard fans of the oh so famous Isaac Asimov have deep seeded evil within. Speak to an huge fan of Asimov and all they will wish to speak about is robotics. If you are to try and change to subject to speak about perhaps the latest FTL nulification process some failing MIT student has mustered up and they will go nutty. My own experience involves a peer of mine who goes by the name Matt Hudson (go look him up) who has borrowed his look from the horrible Dresden Files and has challenged me to hand to hand combat when I informed him I was not the biggest Asimov fan... He claimed he could throw me a good 100 feet seeing as how I weigh roughly 90 pounds (but still sheeesh).

If you have had an Asimov fans get on your back let the world know here.

Slide Walks, Flying Cars and Insurance

For the longest time we have been told to thought that when the future comes (I suppose that is every next second) we will both have cars which fly and sidewalks that make to task of walking a thing of the past. Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! What terrible ideas. Consider how high an adultscar insurance payments add up to when their teenage son or daughter decide they wish to drive. Beyond the point where I am ever willing to have children. Imagine a drunken teen in a flying car! I imagine shards of glass and mufflers sticking through the chest cavities of office workers going about their everyday tasks on the 53rd floor of a skyscraper. I can also find many problems with the idea of slidewalks made famous by Heinlein (who if anyone is curious is having his 100th birthday celebrated this July in Kansas City at a convention featuring a live video feed from Arthur C Clark in case anyone was not in the know). Once those devices get to their highest possible speed what if they had to make an abrupt stop? The individual would most likely go flying forward unless the device had an immediate friend of inertia. Also keep in mind the lines indivuals would have to wait through just to board one of these slidewalks.
I have discovered a solution to these problems using The Tri-System Collective!
Use neither of these contraptions!!!!!!
My solution is a series of enormous conveyor belts carring along the many sky bridges through the major TSC planet Tallonfill right above the major city Derlian's mighty dam system found deep below the cities more enjoyable aspects.

If you have anything to add to this new debate please let us at the TSC know.

An itching question.

Recently I have been reading the book Consider Phlebas by famed scottish writer of both general and science fiction Iain M Banks. The book is one of his six and soon to be seven Culture novels dealing with the semi anarchic (spelling?) alien civilizations by the same name found in our own milky way. My question is whether or not his SF should be considered Hard SF? The writing is extremely technical but I am still unsure. If you have any of the six books those being Consider Pheblas, The Player of Games, Use of Weapons, Excession, Inversions and Look to Windward tell me what you believe the answer to be!

Should the laws of Physics be allowed to be brocken for the sake of plot?

In my own opinion... No!!!
Many take a different stand supporting such theories as FTL travel and Tachyon message recieving drives...
But what do you think? Should the theoretically impossible be allowed for the sake of plot?
Should that oh so special time dilation be overlooked?
Spillyour guts!

I know I know I know...

Nothing has yet been posted in regards to TSC but I would like to know something. For the past several months I have gone around various locations in search for an answer with no real wrong answer....
What do you like to see in Science Fiction?
So far I have recieved roughly three answers, those being Botany (restricted only to such shows as Farscape) Robotics (a jerk I know obsessed with Asimov) and Space Battles (yawn).
Please let me know what you like and I can see if I can incorporate it into my stories... In addition it will help in the surviva of SF as we know it. You don't want to hear that speculative fiction is the new SF do you?

Welcome to the world of The Tri-System Collective and the fight for Science Fiction

You at this moment or in moments past may be wondering just what this Tri-System Collective is. Well you certinly have come to the right lace to find out due to the fact that this is the only open voice for TSC throughout this convoluted series of tubes.

TSC is my own hopefully one day published SF series dealing for the most part with astronomic restriction and the discovery of scientific theory for alien cultures. Just how would a being of a seperate biochemistry discover general relativity?... Perhaps they can't... Or maybe they can! Who knows?

Anyway if you are to investigate further you'll find what TSC is made of.
