Once upon a time there was a cat, but he wasn't the kind of cat you're thinking of. He was from the land of the fairies and his fur was completely unexpected colors. For starters, his nose was <i>violet</i>. His eyes were <i>indigo</i>, his ears were <i>sky blue</i>, his front paws were <i>green</i>, his body was <i>yellow</i>, his back paws were <i>orange</i>, and his tail was <i>red</i>. So he was a mysterious cat of seven colors arranged just like a rainbow.

One day while the rainbow cat was sunbathing, he was suddenly vexed by boredom. That is to say, peace reigned in the land of the fairies, so nothing much was going on.

The cabin's walls, floors, furniture, and even bed sheets were an almost uniform gray. Any discernible difference in shade was whitewashed out by the harsh light emanating from a large rounded rectangle in the wall opposite to the door. Michael stared at the rectangle, not sure he believed what he was seeing. Behind him, Sergei swore softly.<br><br>

"That's a real window." He murmured. "Like, not a screen. I've never seen one of those on a starship before."<br><br>

"Me neither." Michael wondered what it was made of. Even from the doorway he could see that the material had to be more than half a meter thick, completely penetrating the inner and outer hull of the ship. Suddenly anxious, he checked his Geiger; the rad count was unchanged. He grunted in surprise. "Well, it's shielded, whatever it is. Let's get what we came for."

One may find the problems inherent in co-habitation well illustrated through the ubiquity of light bulbs among virtually all settlements. In colonies like the <i>NCS Northern Star</i>, where I make my residence, the bulbs are uniform in design and output.

In short-- the standard light bulbs aboard even a cosmopolitan space station in the Vir Cluster are calibrated for the preferences and biology of humans and Skrell.

Representative democracies have been the most stable form of government for a variety of reasons. Firstly, they are a system that is not subject to the whims of a single person, or even a few, but are controlled by the general population, which is not as likely to shift rapidly and disastrously, not to mention far less likely to cause strife for the people. The second and more critical reason is that people, especially educated people with access to proper communications, desire the ability to rule their own lives. They may surrender this for material goods, but once material needs are satisfied, they will seek out the ability to fulfill their own purposes.<br><br>
|
||||
Corporate government denies the ability to do this. It denies even the possibility, as why would a company give up a position that is giving them such amazing profits? The situation is untenable. Already we can see in some stations a small but growing element that is dissatisfied with the situation. Phrases like "tyranny" and "corporate dictatorship" are thrown around, and not without justification. If corporations do not act to give people control over the rule of their homes, things will go badly - for the companies.

In a fringe system, the Relan system, there is a history of these actions. Because of the poverty of the system, companies neglected to provide properly for stations housing families - systems such as power and gravity failed regularly, and even life support was not nearly as reliable as is required in Sol space. This pushed the natural tension between the people and the faraway rulers to the breaking point far more quickly. The people won, and companies were greatly neutered, losing about 85% of their operations on moons and asteroids within the system. There are now two governments within the system - the Relan System Authority, based on the system's only garden world, Taron, essentially a puppet-state of the companies, and the Free Relan Alliance, the 'spacer' government of the stations, asteroids, and moons that rebelled and won their freedom. Despite the planet being wealthier, and the spacers having far tougher conditions, standards of living are much higher for the spacers.<br><br>

The Persian empire first started as a vassal to the Median empire. In the year 612 B.C., the Medes had conquered much land, including the Assyrian capital of Nineveh. The Median king, Astyges, decided that he would arrange his daughter, Mandane, to the Persian king, Cambyses I. At this time, the Persians were little more than a tribe. With this marriage, he secured an alliance with the Persian people, and they soon bore a son they named Cyrus.<br><br>
|
||||
Astyges had a dream, which his priests interpreted as a bad omen. They claimed that his grandson would one day overthrow him and grow an army to spread around the continent. To challenge this dream, he assigned his general, Harpagus, to kill his daughter's first child. He was ordered to take the infant and leave him to the mountainside to be eaten by the beasts, but he could not do that. Instead, he decided to give the child to an adoptive family.

The young Cyrus was indeed an ambitious figure. As historical records show, the Median general Harpagus decided to betray the king and assisted Cyrus in speedily taking over the throne. By capturing the Median capital of Ecbtana, Cyrus became king of both the Persians and the Medes, uniting the people as one. The neighboring country of Lydia had threatened the Medes in the past, to which Cyrus used as a justification to invade and conquered them as well. Cyrus would then be known as Cyrus the Great, and would be praised by his people for his exploits. His actions earned him the admiration of his people and rivals alike.<br><br>

Nearing his sixties, Cyrus continued to lead his troops to conquer more land and wealth for his people. Traveling up north, he encountered a tribe of people known as the Massagetae. According to legend, the tribal queen, Tomyris, witnessed Cyrus kill her son in battle. Tomyris proceeded to decapitate Cyrus and douse his head in a bucket of his own blood. A beautiful painting by the 18th century French Renaissance painter Jean-Simon Berthelemy depicts this gruesome scene.

Despite the death of their leader, the Persian empire remained a stable one. Cyrus' grandson, Darius I had immediately seized the throne. Darius wasted no time to carry on his grandfather's honor. He continued to expand the empire even further, all the way to the western hemisphere, right at the doorstep of the Greeks. Darius would be famous for his administrative prowess. He introduced the Satrap system to govern his lands. Since the territories were so vast, it was difficult for one man to effectively govern it all. Many rebellions would rise and would need to be quelled. Satraps were representatives of the king himself. They would serve as a governor of each Persian city-state. They would often enjoy the luxury of complete control of their lands if the king was away. This autocratic system of government would catch on in the form of autocracy in the western world.

Giddyup controls how agile a cowpoke is, how well they can dodge a bullet, and how well they can sling.<br><br>

When rolling an attribute, a cowpoke uses one d6. If they roll a 4 or above, they succeed. A cowpoke can roll more or less d6s depending on situational advantages/disadvantages, items they may be carrying, or abilities they may have accrued in their time moseying. As long as a cowpoke has one more success than failure, they succeed. For each additional success, up to 6, that success is enhanced or modified in some way.<br><br>
|
||||
In combat, initiative is gained by pulling poker cards. Initiative is then resolved from highest to lowest suit and number. In the event of tying cards, suits are resolved in this order: Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, and then Clubs. Then the cowpoke who gets highest goes on his turn. During their turn, they can do anything they please. Whatever action they want to achieve, they describe it narratively, and then the storyteller tells them how many d6s they may roll to achieve this task.

The former will heat up from an active mixing chamber, while the latter will heat the gas -- normally phoron -- in the canister attached to the port.

Finally, you should note where the vent control is on your mixing chamber, as it may be needed in emergencies, and where the air scrubbers are in your lab. It is advised to have these in operation when working.

Before you start your mix, ensure the chamber is empty and clear. You can rid it of any contaminating gases in two ways: pumping it through the output port and into a canister, or venting the chamber of it.

Zoroastrianism was founded by the prophet, Zoroaster. Zoroaster was a priest in an area that preached mostly polytheistic religions. He rejected these beliefs, mostly because they were used to classify people in a rigid social structure with priests controlling the ordinary people. One day, while bathing in a river, Zoroaster received a vision from God.
|
||||
<br><br>
|
||||
Zoroaster reportedly found the visions of a God named Ahura Mazda, or the <i>"Wise Lord"</i>. Ahura Mazda came down to Zoroaster in the form of his Amesha Spentas, or <i>"Divine Immortals"</i>. This experience changed his worldview, and he sought to spread his religion through the lands. Despite some struggles, he was successful in that the Persian Empire picked up his beliefs, and spread them far and wide (but did not do so forcefully).

Zoroastrianism is a simple religion. There is one God, Ahura Mazda. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, and the force behind all creation. His six Amesha Spentas are representations of himself in various aspects and forms. An analogy to think of is that he is the sun, and they are all rays of the sun. Ahura Mazda is opposed by a devil named Angra Mainyu, or the <i>"Destructive Spirit"</i>. While Ahura Mazda seeks to create life and beauty, Angra Mainyu only seeks to destroy his greatness and glory at every turn.
