*smiles and bows...

V.

Oh shit and now comes the tears. This one demands a film score!

*smiles so very big... that is the nicest thing you've said.... thank you...

*hugs...

V.

Agree with Wirez, a lump in the throat. Very nice.

*gives a small bow... thank you so very much...

V.

"Open the pod bay doors HAL."

Bunners

I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that... that was a great movie...

V.

I agree with Wirez, sometimes it takes someone not afraid of death to deal out death wholesale to save others.

and that is a truth...

V.

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one."

Bravo, Captain.

thank you very much...

V.

I really enjoyed this one, V. Nice work.

and that makes me smile...

V.

Good one Vix. The Wirez piece fit perfectly.

Didn’t it just? Thanks so much!

V.

Stirred up way too much dust, that one did. Got my eyes all blurry.

Shipmaster Rudy has earned his place in Valhalla.

*smiles so very big.... thank you for that...

V.

You are most welcome. I've never been able to do that sort of short-form worldpainting.

we all seem to be better at some things than others... in this I actually feel blessed...

V.

Simply awe-inspiring. Those who go out of their way to protect the lives of others, not for glory, or for a pat on the back, and even if it may be at the cost of their own; merely because its the right thing to do. They are the unsung heroes, more often than not.

Read this with Wirez's composition int he background, it complimented the piece seamlessly and added to the gravitas of it (if that is the appropriate term.)

*smiles so very big... thank you for that... be sure to tell Wirez, especially because I totally agree with you...

V.

Yeah, that got me too. Nice work!

It's so great to see such a chain of inspiration and creativity. The best kind of art.

well thank you so very much... might I say that your art has delighted my eyes too... and quite often...

V.

I am pleased and honored that it can bring you pleasure.

And as I'm sure you've noticed, I can only take partial credit for it.

Art, music and story are all rather awesome! Nicely done V, I have a thing for old fashioned heroism...

*chuckles… so do I…

V.

Very nice story V.
Really like the perspective you went for with the ship AI. ^_^

Thank you so much HAAS... your words are much appreciated...

V.
