I have setback and waited if anyone would say anything about the name of the upcoming chapter, nope. I don't know how the word 'retribution' is view in England? But for most of us in the States, it's something very harass, outside-the-law, vigilantism, self imposed payback, etc. So what has to happen to set Jason on his own quest for RETRIBUTION?

[quote="kyli"]Question - things on Karis are going super well! When's the monkey wrench gonna hit?
Answer by Fel - lol, yes, there's one coming. It's big. And scary.

The question is when hasn't there been one in this series from Fel? The Universe and Dictionary are his playground!

I was thinking a potential virus interaction would be trouble, but I wonder what would happen if a generation and a dreamer had a child together. If the dreamers are the result of augementation, it might react when exposed to the generation augemented genes. Imagine a bloodline of all telepathic, telekinetic precogs that can enhance each of these abilities with biogenics. The precognition is the only known alteration to the base line faey, who knows how else they tampered with. There might be latent potential for empathy or other forms of clairvoyance.

While officially the program has been shutdown, there is still a pattern of choosing fathers with stronger abilities to father future house members. All generations have been sequested to Karis do not risk them being experimented on. The thing is the original commoners of house Karrine were exposed to the retrovirus, but simply did not developed the desired abilities. That does not mean they were not partially altered. Just as the generations carry a ghost of the virus, so could these unaugemented faey. The only known descendants are near all the human telepaths and the faey from exile. Since those that did not develop enhanced talents were not detectable by kimdori, karrine commoner bloodlines could be lost amongst have the imperium. Who knows how many carry this forgotten heritage? For a thousand years, these descendants have bred and multiplied. It is even possible for the bloodline to have slipped into the noble houses.

Views on attacking the Syndicate; their run by corporations with the soul purpose to make a profit - so that let's us know to attack them is too keep them from making a profit. So let's start - farms, mines, petro/chem, manufacturing - pre and post, financial (stocks and bonds), legal/gov'ts; what do they all require to make all work? Shipping and communications, so you attck their traders and routes with indictors and toys, jam their communications, and destroy their ship yards so they can't replace their destroy trading fleet.

I doubt the Benga corp world even grows any food or produces much of any thing because it too expensive to live there; except for Gov't, Traders, Finicial (stocks/bonds/banking). Think about it if they can't get enough food to feed all of them, toilet paper, their toys, companies of other worlds can't manufacture because they can't get their raw goods and even if the can they can't them to the consumer (financial ruin) killing stocks, bonds, taxes on profits (gov't), and banking.

Use those dead and restricted zones to set up jamming station. Set it up so it is not jamming everything at once. Forcing the to set up every form of FTL communication they have at great expense. Eventually forcing them to rely on couriers or quantum computers. They might not be able to easily deal with those on ships, but those on planets and similar locations could be dealt with.

Yes, and that would leave the trade routes wide open for attack, causing them to form convoys with capital ships as protection, taking away from their offensive and defensive ships, leaving them even more vulnerable, increasing cost food and goods, and decreasing profits. Using toys to attack the convoys will still take many of the trade transports even with fleet protection. I see the end result as Benga rulers as hungery, surly with each other, no new toys to play with, and their over sized big chapped asses with no toilet paper to be found. :lol:

The thing is they can't mess with shipping that much due to the sheer size of a galaxcy. They can target the most valuable shipping lanes and force the enemy to move ship in large scale convoys. I wonder if there is a way they could mess with naihati on of ships, if they can't plot courses reliably, it would be next to impossible to travel.

War is attrition and turning the major part of the people against the current gov't/corps. Benga worlds first as the call the shots, and then expand. Remember their new ships can be anywhere in that galaxy within minutes.

With communications down, and ship travel tricky, they could strike the more isolated or vulnerable locations in raids. Each blow costs them more and more money.

Syed, exactly since we been told that Corporations rule and that the profits are everything or they leaders get replaced or killed off.

So Kill the trading ships and the shipyards that build them. Attrition, Attrition, and even more Attrition. People go hungry, don't get paid when goods aren't delivered, etc. etc.

Those giant ship killer devices, could they be scaled down and used via the wormhole gate? Detonating inside a ship, would mean it needs less energy to creat catastrophic damage. We seen how the loss of their ships so quickly have been a major morale blow against the enemy. Imagine this happening in busy and highly developed systems, all in public view. Not only does it caused physical damage, but their imagine of strength and power would be crippled.

The megatron unit is NOT a bomb. Its a gun and it needs time to be set up and charged. It also needs to be aimed at the center of the ship to breach the main power reactor. It is the reactor that blows up the ship, not the Megatron..... though the Megatron still does catastrophic damage. If a Megatron could be made small enough to go through the wormhole, it would have to be a stealth operation for them to have enough time. A kimdori also needs to be on the ship to place a becon for the wormhole. And if they could do it, why not open it near the reactor, have the kimdori evacuate through and toss a few anti-matter bombs through and close the wormhole. The reactor is breached by the bombs and bye bye supership.

Now, about defeating the syndicate. I think they care as much about power as they do about money, and if they sign a treaty with the confederation, it will be only to delay and get better intelligence and come up with a plan against the confederation. If they are forced into peace, it will be because they see someone more powerful, and they will want that power. That said, the way to defeat the syndicate or create a lasting peace treaty is either a head on war, which could take decades, or a revolution inside the syndicate. I think the Kimdori should start a revolution, posing as syndicate members, but eventually turn the revolution over to the real sydicate citizens that join the revolution, but keep supporting them with some kimdori intelligence and keep a few kimdori in the revolution to help and weed out syndicate spies. All without anyone finding out who the Kimdori are, preferably. Anyway, i think thats how to take down the syndicate. Replace the government completely and change how things work. The Benga might have to be completely deposed since they sound like a bunch of lying crooks to me. Maybe there are a few good Benga, but i'm sure the average one is deceptive and all about advancing their personal positions. If their deceptive nature has even affected their entire language, i see little hope in the near future for the Benga race.

The syndicate system sounds like it is corrupt and broken. It only works because those that profit from the situation, prop it up and obscures it's true broken nature. It's just a galaxcy ignoring the man behind the curtain. If they undermined it, they could force a collapse. Force them to pay all debts all at once, break contracts or default in many cases.
It is an empire concerning money, wealth and power. Imagine if they robbed their banks and safety deposits. Failing that imagine if they destroyed their bank record and databases.
