A rollicking tale of interstellar murder, mystery, betrayal, intrigue, espionage, more betrayal, conspiracy and politics. Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, big unexpected explosions, reckless drinking and (in the best Enterprise tradition) a gratuitous female alien shower scene.

ROFL!

Chapter 27 is up at http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction! I know I promised it Last week (or the week before..? I lose track) but it needed a lot of rewriting and I got very distracted by Slashem. Also, the site is still not working in non-IE browsers. Sorry.

Anyway, here it is. Not much plot this chapter- more sightseeing really, but believe me the next chapter will be extremely plot-heavy. Many of the big questions still outstanding will be answered in chapter 28 and by the end of it people should (finally) have enough information to start making reasonable guesses as to what the hell is going on and what everyone is up to. Assuming you can remember what the hell was going on back in chapter 2, anyway.

Therefore if you have been thinking of re-reading from the start, I strongly suggest you do so soon, Chap28 is mostly written and could be released in a matter of days.

If, on the other hand, you haven't read any of the story yet, I strongly suggest you do so. Read it all, now!

Everyone got that?

Comments, suggestions, criticism, typoes & praise are all welcome here, as always.

Uh-oh, someone's actually re-reading. I'd better get chapter 28 finsihed, sharpish...

Hmmm... I like that idea. I suggest we save money on casting by having you guys act most of the parts, then we can splash out and have a few big name stars to fill in the female roles=-)

-Cane: Atrocities would be perfect
-Othaglot: State of the art CGI, voiced by Geo.
-Enyemin Cane: Mac and Growltigga can fight over this role. The loser gets their legs amputated for the role of Captain Frasier.
-Loorl: More CGI, but voiced by Rollo.
-Loorl's Vikings: More CGI, all of them voiced by Narf.
-Sloo: Milla Jojovich sprayed purple. She might look a bit odd compared to the state of the art CGI on all the other Cappans, and she'd actually be far better as Chell, but it's Sloo that gets the shower scene=-)
-Actually, if Sloo is played by Milla Jojovich, I'm playing alongside her as Cane. Sorry Geo. ;-)
-Amda Blaze-Stout: Hmm, tricky, this one. has to be someone quite powerfully built and with real authority & presence. Kind of like a female Patrick Stewart. Most popular actresses seem to be too wet and girly imho. If Whoopee Goldberg was taller, she'd do.
-Dr Singh: Phoenix-D
-Dr Ollaroo: Voiced by CapnQ
-Commander Lock: S_J
-Erik the Shed: Puke
-Stevv: Krsqk
-Wolf & Ve: Rags & Timstone.
-Director: Baron M

Did I miss anyone? We still have plenty of parts open: Glooloosl (Gla boss), the security team on the mining colony, Othaglot's colleague from the homeworld police force, Cappa Loog, the 6 Orros from the cargo container, Wilm (murdered on the marilyn before he gets a line), Cracktooth the barman, the gun-dealer (be aware that this part requires nudity), the bouncer at the Atlanti (next chapter, be aware that this part requires surgery), Olric (be aware that this part requires decapitation), various nameless crew members on the Endeavour & Marilyn, a Sergetti waiter and Tor Hammer (both next chapter) and, of course, about a million drunken vikings, city dwellers and bystanders...

Chapter 28 is up. Last chance; If you have been thinking about re-reading from the start, I advise you do so now. This chpater refers back to a lot of stuff that happened a while ago and answers many of the questions that have been hanging about for a long long time.

of course in doing so it opens up a whole bunch of new questions, but you expected that, right?
