Not Heplar thrusters, but interesting.
"Not HEPlaR" in the most literal way possible. I think it's funny that one
variation on it is called "Em Drive".

Not a submarine, a gator or DDG on deployment that keeps getting extended.
I posted a couple weeks ago, but still haven't caught up on any of the
stuff in my absence.

You didn't miss much, wait no EDG surfaced as well and MM's Zhodani thought police blew his cover. 😃

When I came back to check this account after three or four months and
tried to clean it up I saw a bunch of account names and subject lines
while I was shoveling them into folders, but that's it. I saw EDG's
account, assume your remark is 80+% joke.

I hope it was a joke too. I'm getting pretty tired of being sniped at by people just for saying something...

One reason I came back is because you (Dave) were wanting my opinion about something to do with the UWPs? I missed that discussion but evidently I missed you too because you'd vanished by the time I enquired about it.

This one has less with the frothy "WAAARGH, IT'S NOT POSSIBLE" reaction that others have made, and more with the "It's interesting and probably wrong, but warrants further investigation", which is how science really works.


I assume/trust you weren't sniped at on this list, that is not the way
things are done here.

Yes, I sent out a plaintive cry however long ago that was, but I'll have
to get my head back into the game in order to do that, if that's okay.
Maybe in a week or so?

No worries - I emailed you about it on 22nd April too if you want to respond that way.
Yeah, I found that one last night and thought it was pretty good. I have
to admit that although I assumed that the "Cannae drive" was named after
the Punic battle, my mind was drawn irresistibly Scotty-wards. One of the
other articles had a comments section that consisted entirely of people
citing their IQs.

Okay. All I've managed to do so far is pull of the TNE posts into a single
folder, and I saw that you were among them. I think my last day in that
account was around March 9, but maybe it was April 9.

Actually it wasn't you, Dave had invoked the call of EDG and then submerged before you actually arrived so I thought I'd point it out. There was some discussion about "take my money please Traveller", which was by all reviews was a travesty, and soon after that someone popped in to let us know that they were monitoring the list for MM. Hence the Thought Police jab.

I have to admit the stellar science is really not my strong point but it's interesting to read. Been watching a youtube series by Edgar from Artifaxian about world building for Sci Fi games and such that's very interesting.

Thanks for the clarification.

But to return to my role as Metaphor Police, I did not submerge, as that
implies I remained in the AO, watching via periscope and passive sonar.
Rather, I out-chopped from 2d/3d Fleet, take your pick, in transit to a
5th Fleet assignment. Metaphorically, not literally.
