Welcome kind readers. Thanks for being here.
Some months ago I spent some time discussing some of MIles Sanderson’s mis-spent youth. I recounted how he got in trouble in school hacking and crashing. What history knows of him is simple. He was a troubled youth who rose to prominence in the SID (Science and Industry Division) physics department. He worked on the first illumadrive engine and he discovered the Gavaskar Field problem with faster than light travel. That exiled him to Lava where he crossed paths with our little Max.
Then he disappeared into the prairies of Kusha.
Not completely disappeared. He doesn’t have a big public life but he has occasionally gotten involved in local politics. Some of his friends insist he’s become political as a result of his partner Kiki. She has always had a bent for taking up arms agains injustice. Sanderson was once a part of the Kushan Council. He ran for office to represent the prairie villages when the Harappa City delegates tried to enact some laws that would have hindered the developments to our north.
He negotiated a settlement that divided resources so that the prairie villages could continue their growth without taking from the development in Harappa City. Then he left office.
Now he mostly stays on his ranch. I see him in town occasionally. He visits with Max on a regular basis. I know he spends some time at her bedside every week. He also comes to town for a regular card game with his friend Mary “Dusty” Waters.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
