Description
"Mission Log.... Pilot D'ahn T'anna reporting. Opening days of the war... how long will it last....
I've been assigned to pilot this new, one man ship.... the call it a Torpedo Ram, Damn but this things is fast.... It took less than 2 microns to get from base to here, the fringes of Reen-Oh space. don't have much for weapons... just this long range torpedo, they say it's got enough punch to knock out one of those Attack Hotels Reen-Oh has flying around. But, my mission is not to engage the enemy directly, just wait for them to cross the line, into Vay-Gas space. We know they come through here, clouded by the Sigfreed-N-Roy Nebula... our sensors can't properly penetrate the ionized gases. so, I sit here and wait for two things.... either the enemy comes across the border, me firing off the torpedo and then getting the Hell outa here..... or... nothing happens and I wait to be relieved... sometime in the next month...
'course by that time the war should be over...."
The Lounge Wars, Chapter 3 Vay-Gas, The Build Up

Whew...I thought for a micron, that the whole ship was a torpedo and D'ahn was cannon fodder ! I think he should blow the weapon and head on home, stuff the war ! Interesting glow texture on the Torpedo Ram and see you in the lounge soon ! ~Cheers~
Cool 'n highly amusing story. Love the illustration too. Excellent work all the 'way around.
Very cool story and the ship is really awesome!!
Another cool one, guy!
Adds a new dimension to feeling jaded. Range is a tough division in space. Firing across a galaxy is different than firing through a black hole. Hopefully the trajectory is not a comet nucleus that returns.
COOL SPACE SHOT
