Yup, that was my "Oasis project". ;-)

The tanker(s):
http://www.downport.com/bard/bard/sara/sara9000.html

The deep-space depots:
http://www.downport.com/bard/bard/gail/gail0001.html

The relevant (and semi-relevant) news reports:
http://www.downport.com/bard/bard/gail/gail5003.html

I remember finally doing a plain-ASCII hex-map of the
RC area, to illustrate the requirement for those deep-space
depots, but that was years ago, and I don't know where
that text-image would be these days. :-P

PS, would whomever maintains the BARD site please update
my e-mail address there? That site is still using my old
college e-mail address, which I haven't used since the
previous millenium... ;-)

Thanks,
Franklin

And here's my thesis on -why- the RC needed all those depots...

Cool, thanks, Franklin, I'll look at those.

And I haven't used some of these memories since the last millennium.

Thanks, Gary. The things that it would have been nice to have Back Then.

Can't tell if you're serious or not but I'll clarify either way as this
is a potentially inflammatory matter.

Lewis didn't say that TNE caused 9/11. He wrote that the *POST *9/11
military ops that were conducted bore too much of a resemblance to
certain RCES ops in TNE: high tech force comes in (US and allies = RCES)
and smashes low tech country ruled by dictator (a TED in TNE).

I shouldn't have said anything in the first place. :-(

Man, I put a smilie! I put a smilie!

Yes, I was kidding.

But I do, for the record, categorically deny that TNE deliberately caused
9-11.

So I wasn't joking about that TNE didn't deliberately cause it.

Smilie!

Smilie!

Don't worry, you were being careful, and I appreciate that. But in general
terms, if something I say sounds like it might be a joke, or just sounds
really weird, it's a joke.

Thanks,

Dave

Nah, it wasn't TNE's fault. Merc:2000 is the blueprint for this century.
