perfidy

It's Friday the 13th, sort of. Chapter 13 is up over at the Veil War.

“Is it the habit of officers of the SANG to insult officers of the United States Marine Corps?” Lewis asked in a quiet voice.

Surprise crept across his face. “Excuse me?”

“The United States is allied to your Kingdom. You hold prisoner over a hundred of my countrymen. You lie to me about a farcical customs inspection. You intend to deprive me of my weapons and imprison me with the others.”

“That, my friend, is an insult.”

Chapter 12 was updated yesterday, too, so if you didn't reread that, you'll want to.

Some science-flavored links for your enjoyment:

• Viruses make you gay
• Nothing at all might make you a gay cat lady
• Ice Age or bust! Given a choice of civilization-ending climate calamities, I'd prefer an Ice Age. I have cross-country skies, and I know how to use them.
• DHS says we are woefully underprepared for a repeat of the Carrington Event. Ya think?

So, we're all going to become gay cat ladies, then freeze to death in the new ice age because all the power was knocked out by a stupendous solar storm. Then, the ice weasels come.
