A GREAT chapter!
I can feel the rage just coming off drake like waves.
YOU attack ME!? and then i have to be nice to you!? hell no i want to BURN IT ALL, i want you on your KNEES

I can understand that feeling, Lets see if Drakey boy can reign it in.
The dog should help. hopefully..

Thanks guys. Glad you like it.

Quick note, though. Max is a Caucasian Shepherd, not a German Shepherd. A Caucasian Shepherd, otherwise known as an Ovcharka, is a Russian guard dog and one of the largest dog breeds around and this one was genetically engineered to be a bodyguard for the Yaki dockmaster. Max is only about 9 months old and already ways over 220lbs. By the time he's fully grown he'll be around 280-300 lbs. Standing flat footed his ears reach the top of Drake's shoulders.

Here, to put him in perspective for you. This is the Ovcharka in real life. And THIS is how I see Max.

Right, one of those... That's not a dog. That's a war mount.
So now next to a giant Split bodyguard, Drake has a giant dog.

I'm sure there's a mythological or legendary example of a tiny kid ordering giant monsters around.
Perhaps a good source for a name of the Phantom's command centre. Assuming there is going to be a new official one. Like a carrier.

Hey all, this is a test post to see if the thread is broken.

EDIT: It is apparently working fine. By way of explanation: Olterin said he wasn't able to reply. Hence the test.

... Very odd. Now it's working again. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience :S Forum was straight-up redirecting me to the index page every time I pressed reply, no amount of link fiddling or reloading or restarting the browser seemed to help :|

This is basically what I meant to post in a new reply for good visibility: The confusion between the two breeds resulted from the use of the word "ovcharka" which to my knowledge (and/or in my experience having lived in a russian-speaking area) does not specifically distinguish between the different kinds of shepherd dogs - the only ones I've known by that description have in fact been German Shepherds.

Caucasian Shepherds are what German Shepherds ride into battle. Which are ridden by Dachshunds. Who are ridden by Hamsters. So they can go for the eyes.

I don't know what other kind you'd find wandering around on a space ship.

Also, I have this horrible image of Ea't playing with Drake's dog. On all fours, playing tug of war with his teeth. As is the dog.

I figured Ea't would be too busy trying to find new ways of turning the Black Queen into foe-shaped chunky bits.

Ea't is somehow a single-minded master of multitasking, in my mind. He can do both while singing bawdy pirate songs all the way.

Are you telling me that Ea't would not make time to play with a giant murder dog?
Heresy!

He's already worked out how to deal with her, he just likes to play with his food.

I was just trying to work "foe-shaped chunky bits" into a sentence. :D

This is a well known problem of this forum. Deleting the forum cookie and restarting the browser solves it always for me. This solution was also posted by some of the forum admins, but I can't find the exact thread right now.

@Scion Drakhar: Another outstanding chapter! At the end of the last one, the action intensified, and then you continued with the Gin arc. While I first was a bit puzzled about this, I really like it now. This was your way of decreasing the story telling speed and to let the reader calm down. Great! :)

I'm kind of just hoping he managed to get somewhere high and dry before the wonderful southern weather turned up.

Thanks folks. I'm alive and safe. I live north of Philly, which meant all I had to deal with was some gusts of wind. My heart goes out to everyone facing flooding and fires while so many of our politicians sit idle.

I have more in the works. It's just slow going this time of year. Not sure why. In any case, keep prodding. It does me a world of good. :)
