I very much enjoyed the description of the town. It's funny that you put so much description into the town and daemons but not so much the people... but a very fun story.

I like the pairing. Orcs and the Dynasty fighting side by side- and I also like that the orc is aggressive but not to the point of idiocy.

Good question: I implied that the large vessel was more potent, but not overwhelmingly so. More than anything, it was the elves selfishness that prevented them from picking a fight with the cruiser; from their perspective, why get into a potentially deadly shootout when you can loot safely? From the bottom of the middle column: "Despite the aliens’ far superior numbers and maneuverability, none of that self-interested race were willing to engage with the Cold Dawn."

Gloriously silly.

Armor being equated with genocide was an interesting idea. Doubt being the weapon is fun and shows the nefarious subtly of the rat-folk. I wouldn't mind delving into the precise nature of that doubt, authority undermined, faith shattered, ect, but it is still effective enough.

The marine is very humanized, showing fits of pique. This story is lots of fun!

I really like this story. The growing trust between the two leaders and the clever potential solution to fighting the swarm was very cool. I don't think showing the final confrontation even mattered... the real story is the friendships we made along the way :P

Thanks! I would like to write out a story of a group of increasingly joyless dark elves running afoul of Korsakoff Proxima on the surface. She/it was supposed to be the delivery system because mentally the assassin was already functionally unconscious, a killing machine bereft of higher thought. I also did not state this, but the psychic Lacerbis is the leader of the mission because he alone can sense the mental state of the citizenry and can tell if the mission would be successful or not.

Thanks for  the kind words- I was fighting the 1k word limit really hard. A weapon that kills consciousness is pretty high concept, and I should have tied her/it into that more obviously. 

Very cool story. Captures the pragmatic cunning of the jackals and the optimism and teamwork of the TAO.
