Greetings comely readers. Thanks for being here.
Some months ago I went through the history of the SID. We discussed how they were formed by the Greenies on Earth to be an industrial base in the background of an agrarian society. We told how they jumped at the opportunity of the Earth Revolution and the fall of the Greenies to establish themselvs as a political entity in and of themselves.
We’ve also gone over their pursuit of Max Gavaskar when she discovered the problem with their starship drives. But, there is more about them than that.
History tells us how they were involved in Max’s ascention (you can read about this in “Kusha” due out soon and “The Mother of the Galaxy” due out this summer). But, what led to those disasters?
I suppose Gary Meyer was the pinnical achievement for the SID. He was the best and worst they ever created. Their genetic engineering program and biotic enhancements reached their peak in him. After what happened in Estonia no one ever again tried to operate with so many modifications to their mind and body.
After the settling of Kusha and Lava the SID became the transportation system between the four human worlds. At the time they had two starships. The Marcus Johnson and the Debendra Gavaskar. The Degrassi-Tyson came later.
The Debendra Gavaskar made the rounds from planet to planet on an eight month rotation while the Marcus Johnson explored the local star systems.
History tells us how these two ships bacame involved in the Tarsan uprising and how our little Max was drawn into that situation.
More on the SID tomorrow.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
