"Broken Chain", serial by Matthew Mitchell

GE Branet · Post by **GE Branet** » Sat Jul 17, 2004 5:28 pm

I have the taste of announcing the new work of our MSG Mitchell, which calls, Broken Chain. I invite all you to visit the web of the squadron Epsilon http://branet0.tripod.com/Epsilon/Epsilon.htm , menu The Art of GE, Submenu Fictions, in order that they could know her. For now only the prologue has been published, but eventually, our author Mitchell will be updating his work.
I am grateful to all for your attention, and I give thank personally to Matthew Mitchell for your collaboration in the diffusion of the Arts inside the GE.

Thank you for the plug, sir. The publicity is much appreciated.

I appreciate and enjoy any and all comments and suggestions all of you might have on the series. Please e-mail them to me at reaganite88@fastmail.fm, or you can post them right here on this thread if you want to save a few seconds of your time.

Very interesting, yet excellently wrote (or typed?).

And I thought Lieutenant Commander Longstreet was a confusing instructor at the Academyâ€¦

Very funny.

Well, when do you expect the next part is gonna come out?

If I get it done quickly, Chapter 1 will be submitted before I go on LOA on Jul 26th or so (am drafting it furiously at the moment). Then, school starts very soon afterwards, so time may not be in my favor, who knows? But thanks for your input, sir!

Maybe it's time I dusted off some of my old stuff. I don't think you young guys read any of my things. Some fiction, lots of treatises on Imperial doctrine and the like. It was pretty well received "back in the day".

This would be a good contribution to the Library of Epsilon. If you can, sir, send to me some of his works, or the links to the pages where they are published.
Thank you.

Remember also to post them in the Imperial Archives, http://databank.empirereborn.net

And it is done!

I encourage everyone to check out my additions to the General Archives http://databank.empirereborn.net/index. ... alArchives

I added the "Treatises on Imperial Strategy" and a piece of fiction that I had gotten about half done (though it's still 20 pages). Let me know what you think.

I might post my pieces in the Archives as well, if I can figure out how to create links without driving Vortagh nuts. Am about to take a look at your writings as well, Captain. Did you happen to take a peek at mine by chance? Just curious...

Calder · Post by **Calder** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 3:22 am

Yes, I read it. Very well written, though I would have to defend General Rala's professional reputation in regards to how he came to be the ISB General.

That said, I'm sure you'll take note of some of his other...uh...idiosynchrocies when you read "Duty Calls".

RES Mitchell · Post by **RES Mitchell** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 4:09 am

I don't know a whole lot of Rala's back history. I just needed a little something to bring a little extra edge to Solidis's character.

The story has some parallels so Conrad's "Heart of Darkness", so Rala may have some more little quirks in his makeup after a few months on Dagobah surrounded by bounty hunters and little green creatures...

If you want some of General Rala's backstory, you can ask the General himself, or glean bits of personality from my writing. He's generally jovial, has a good sense of humor, is very loyal to his friends, is a dependable officer, and is extremely fond of a certain baked good....

RES Mitchell · Post by **RES Mitchell** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 4:21 am

MMMM....donuts...I'm reading Duty Calls right now, so I know about that. Unfortunately, the Rala of Old is dead, now that his mind is warped on Dagobah. Or is it??? So, his personality as you know does not necssarily transfer to this story...maybe he just goes nuts because there aren't any donuts on Dagobah. Who knows? As of now, nobody knows if he's even alive, right?

All this stuff about writing has motivated me. I started a new piece called "Nothing Special" (basically because as of right now, it's just going to be myself and other senior officers doing whatever it is we do, albeit in a humorous fashion). The first couple pages are up on the Archives.

Reminds me of some sort of Absurdist play one would see in France circa 1950's. Very interesting.

Also, to High Command: the plugs will be coming hard and fast in my next installment. Prepare to be sucked-up to!!
