Hey Cyber,
Glad your interested. People have launched sky hydroponics labs, but the Usurpers pretty much wasted them. My recommendation is to catch up on the reading before you jump in. A lot of stuff has happened, and the little world that's been created gets pretty complicated. I've read it all, and I still keep on making mistakes and harass Googlie with a lot of questions! If your interested, we meet every Monday at around 8:00/8:30 EST (as in Toronto/New York Time). We're planning 'the end', but that's still along way off. And of course, "these days, you gotta have a sequal!"

Cyber:
We're always glad to have fresh writers with a different perspective. 
I'll send you a series of e-mails with the files (rather than dump them into one humungus download). And as Argo says, we meet each Monday in the chatroom of the Spartan Chronicles website ( http://go.to/googlie )
As to the space angle....
Sparta, Morgan and the Hive launched hydroponics. When the Usurper starship, the Impaler, arrived, after Marr pacted with Yang, it destroyed the Morgan and Gaian satellites. It has since been converted into the space terminal of the Space Elevator. the Impaler's companion scoutship has likewise been put into geosynchrynous orbit as the Skybase Academy.
The factions did band together to build a spaceship to salvage the Unity core, but that has now returned.
Only the Usurpers have Advanced Spaceflight, let alone Self Aware Machines (which they also have) altho it might be expected that Marr would share these techs with Yang in exchange for something really worthwhile to him (unless Marr felt that Yang's security was compromised).
So happy reading, we'll see you on Monday evening, and look forward to your contribution.

Hey guys,
Sorry I missed the chat. I logged on to Spartan Chronicles, but Chat simply wouldn't load. I gave up after 15 minutes of waiting. Please e-mail a transcript of what juicy stuff was discussed!

Hey all,
Been trying to log on to Spartan Chronicles for the last half hour, but get a nastygram saying it cannot connect.
Sigh.
Anyway, please send a transcript. Argo - maybe a mindworm would solve your psi team problem? I'd guess they are pretty adept with psi work, and would bet they are pretty good with sneaky spy stuff with a little training, too. Imaging Rose having to work with a bunch of worms!! And how do you intimidate a mindworm anyway?

Last week I logged on to SC Chat and no one was there. Well, Argo was logged in but never seemed to be active.
And now it's happened again - I can't log on to Chat.
Hmph.
I'll have to console myself by reading (maybe finishing) Centauri Dawn. So far it generally follows SMAC, although a few liberties were taken. Ely has make Lal an appealing figure, and Santiago believable. If he accomplishes no more than that he will be a success.

Howdy Kinjiru! Glad you stopped by! I'm sure all of us would like any comments you might have by the way of critique (assuming you've been able to wade thought the latest installments).
Goog, Argo, and sen, I posted some ticklers on Googlie's discussion board. I forgot to put my tag down or the topic a couple of times. User error strikes again.

FINALLY got on SC Chat, and I think I figured out what the problem is: I have to go to Goog's Spartan Chronicles just after booting up. If I visit Apolyton or any other site then Goog's site freezes on me. And it only took 2 soft boots and one hard boot (which did the trick) to figure this out. It remains to be seen if this is truly correct or if it is simply an artifact of chance.
Now if I could get anyone here on SC Chat I'd be fine!! Kind of like 3 wks ago, when I showed up and nobody came…
I'll just wait out the blizzard here in Chicago and do a little writing (gasp!!).

Oops. You are quite right - the end is missing!!!
That was poor quality control on my part. I checked all the start/end italics but neglected to check that all the text was there! It even ends in a sentence fragment... (sigh)
I'll fix it when I get home tonight.

Well, I fixed the problem with the missing text using the brute force approach. It was strange, but I couldn't add the text to the existing post so I chopped it off and continued in the next post space. Hopefully it doesn't break it up too much.

The whole thing didn't fit! You need to finish it, it's really well done. Let's just say, things started looking a little blurry for a bit there
