EVE Fiction

*Begins laughing maniacally*

Hmmm, would Project Ascension have been at risk to be stopped by CONCORD if they had figured out earlier, before project deployment, what's going on? After all, the SOE delivered to all four empires which is somehow in compliance with Directive Alpha-Gamma-12, isn't it?

My impression is that the project and its possible follow-up projects (Offspring Cepheus ?, Darkness Visible ?) are all about being deployed as fast as possible without being slowed down by any possible bureaucracy that CONCORD might impose. Mochan doesn't seem to disagree with the project either, he's just worried that it's "too early". The meeting that Sjakhuni arranged appears to have the sole purpose to stop another force, the one that Mochan represents, from slowing down the project. Well, what force does he represent? Not knowing the Torigi game he's certainly not a Caldari. Who lives almost exclusively in stations and space ships and isn't used to planetary gravitation? Jove, I guess, although it would be strange that a Jove talks about "home ground" nowadays. However, Thukker don't like planetary life either.

Is Sjakhuni really a Thukker? He apparently is the true driving force behind Project Ascension and being able to "prod them into the right direction" he seems to know even more than the SOE. He has a Minmatar's/Thukker's ethnic markers (no real proof in times of most likely advanced cosmetics). On the other hand, Mochan says that Sjakhuni "chose to use his existing cover." (no real proof that he's not a Thukker, maybe he's simply not Sjakhuni). Questions over questions...

Hm, I'll better stop my disordered thoughts and be patiently waiting for part 2

In any case, I really like the whole narrative in Satach City and in that "dingy bar". It gives the exciting build-up of the meeting of the two agents a colorful and atmospheric background. Very well done!

Also: German translation available: Sinuswelle: Alpha, along with a Forum Thread.

I know that part 2 is coming but here's my personal theory:

- SoE woke some Sleepers in their studious efforts (possibly to help Serpentice create new drugs)
- Woken sleepers are drifters who have crazy Entosis tech (read: tech that transmits their informorph into things to remotely control them)
- Drifters have been stealing bodies out of space.
- SoE and Thukker are close to W-Space so their bodies are readily available.
- Drifters are controlling the collected bodies (read: "Covers" from the Chronicle) using their entosis links tech (The use of the word "synch" from the chronicle.)
- The Drifters, using "Covers", manipulated events for the creation of Alpha-state clones based on their own tech... for .... reasons?

/end tinfoil.

Pretty sure that's a coincidence. Pretty sure that Matigu Seabeast is a MindClash character.

Shakuni is perhaps best known for masterminding the infamous Game of Dice between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. A master of sorcery, Shakuni had his blessed dice which would always follow his will. Unaware of this fact, the Pandavas were defeated in the gambling match. Shakuni encourages Duryodhana, Dushasana, Karna, and the others when they taunt and humiliate the Pandavas.

Shakuni is also one of the masterminds behind the Kurukshetra War. His intentions include his desires a) to avenge the defeat of Gandhara by Hastinapur years before, b) to avenge the torture and murder of his father, King Subala, by Bhishma, and c) to avenge the insult Bhishma made when he insisted on Gandhari's marriage to a blind man. Shakuni's main enmity was with Bhishma, who had humiliatingly defeated and ravaged Gandhara, when Hastinapur was expanding its territories. He wanted to destroy the Kuru empire and the royal lineage itself, as a revenge for what was done to his people.

He mainly worked by inciting hatred between the Kauravas and Pandavas; his plans culminated in the biggest war in Indian history. Although he often failed in his tricks against Pandavas, he never lost his faith in his ability to destroy the lineage of Kuru. A far-sighted man, his plan was much bigger than causing plight to the Pandavas; he wanted a full-scaled civil war between the kingdoms of India, which will destroy the country for generations, fulfilling his revenge. He feared nobody, except Shri Krishna, whom he considered as an obstacle, since he knew that only Krishna had the power and influence to foil his plan. Krishna was a shrewd diplomat and statesman, the only person who matched Shakuni's cunning and intelligence.

Ways in which Shakuni incited war include:

Advising an adolescent Duryodhana to mix poison into Bhima's food.
Hiring Purochana to kill the Pandavas in the Palace of lac.
Before the war he advised Duryodhana to feed Shalya's army and make Shalya his indebt, making it compulsory for him to fight on the side of Kauravas
During the Kurukshetra war he abetted in the killing of Arjuna's son Abhimanyu by cheating and breaking the war protocol.

I looked at the other name and i found it on an old chronicle "Rebel with a cause" captain Aki Onikori

Onikori seldom goes by his real name and is best known to the public by the name Fiend, a play on words of his name in Caldari. In the past few years his twisted ideology has mutated from one of innocent anarchy to a bloody crusade against authority in every form. Early on his focus was first and foremost on the pharmaceuticals industry, but in recent years he has started targeting more diverse targets and seems especially fond of governmental institutions.

Kyonoke Plague, shady actors, serpentis distribution raids.... there´s a lot going on!

Keep chronicles coming, i miss the two week period on them =(
