Spoiler Alarm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In that wacky Fortress Geiersburg Death Star stunt, we definitely see a
warp under way. The fortress does not go to hyperspace and can still be
detected well enough to at least show a computer-generated view.
While my sci-fi RPG geekiness will force me to work out the mechanics,
space opera is exactly right.
Heeeeeeeeey- an LGH opera. It's a natural!!!!! Lots of Wagner for the
Empire, maybe Gilbert and Sullivan for the FPA. Sturm und Drang for the
whole cast. Imagine the Kircheis death scene as done by the New York
Met. Best of all, gorgeous professional costumes to kipe after the
opera closes!!! Now that might get me to the Meyerson!
