@Eric,
@Steve, I wanted to ask you both if it was ok to use your names for characters in this project. Even though we do not see eye to eye on amny things, I greatly respect the both of you. So I wanted to show that by including you both in the project as my way of saying thanks for everything.
Below is a small excerpt of what I have. I will wait three days and if I have not heard anything from you two I will assume that means no permission given and will strike the names from the project.
Lt. Commander Jeffrey Sutton was part of the fleet serving as First Officer onboard the USS Lexington. Like the rest of the crew he had grimly watched the reports on GNN as news leaked that one of their ships was overdue from patrol and shared the same worries and apprehensions as that vessel was named as the USS Agamemnon, part of the same squadron the Lexington led. Commodore Walmsley had been on the sector command station for the best part of a day debating with Admiral Luken what the best form of action would be, and Commander Sutton knew his squadron commander would be screaming at the top of his lungs to be unleashed on the Byzacena system to tear through anyone who sought to imprison his officers and crew.
Cheers, ??rgr?mr
