Re-reading this now, it’s pretty terrible. My original draft was much better, I promise, but about 400 characters too long. I did a poor editing job, but I think my original idea came across, so hopefully Ridcully or Steve can save this atrocity.
Actually, I quite liked the direction it ended up taking the story. I think our man Phil needs to go on the offensive at some point or have some information for defense. Hopefully we’ll have provided him with something to allow that to happen.
It was tough but I wanted the follow up to this to show something that would appear to have no value but may prove important later. If it makes you feel any better I think I’ve left Ridcully in an equally challenging spot!
I really tried to paint BioWeps as a rogue sect of the CoND, and my original description of finding the Intranet site did that. But it had to be cut. I also felt that Phil needed an ally on the inside, and Ridcully’s “Jen” seemed hyper enough to fill that void.
