Poor Lucy. And is this meant to show that Lois and Lucy are going to get married nearly at the same time? And to go ahead with the ceremony even if her sister had just perished in outer space
The trip to Mars takes about 9 months? So, she died a few months into the trip. *) Does this mean Lucy got engaged after Lois’ trip started?
*) And since I just stumbled on it in Wikipedia, there is a proposal of using a VASIMR drive that is said to reduce travel time to 40 days. And given the state of technology in the LnC-verse, it suddenly makes me wonder just how long the trip would have taken. And of course, if it really is just 40 days of travel time, then Lucy scheduled her wedding right after Lois got shot into space. Not very nice of her.
If they didn’t – it wasn’t his failure. And as the Supreme Ruler, his personal water supply would be assured as long as there remained a drop of moisture on the planet.
No wonder he doesn’t care about the water situation. But maybe they should check out stillsuits, deathstills, and water discipline, given the precarious situation they’re in.
The rigid hierarchical structure had always irked Nor. The clear inference that Kal-El’s time was of greater value than his wedged in his gullet like a pointy bone.
Well, in this particular case, it is. After all, first, the others are Regal Nobles, aka scheming Ne’er Do Wells. And second, Kal is about to get married so he has more important things on his mind.
He smothered a sigh. Surely even a punctilious robot such as Kal-El must be weary of the topic of water by now.
“How could you know how my father died?” Ard asked. “You weren’t here then.”
“People have told me what a wonderful man your father was and how sad it is that he died.”
“The ugly man pushed him into the water and I never saw him again.”
/cocks eyebrow/
“Have you seen the ugly man again?”
“Yes. He is at the Reports.” Ard’s eyes lifted to the balcony. “But he doesn’t speak.”
Eyebrows went up a bit more.
She was sure the ugly man was Nor.
Interesting. That was ten years ago. When I was under the impression that Ked was still alive back then. So, did Nor do his father’s bidding or was he just showing initiative. And is he really ugly, or just ugly to an innocent child watching her father get pushed off a cliff.
And she’d do in ways far more explicit than merely having a baby.
She’s quite comfortable with the baby thoughts, isn’t she?
Great part, Corrina. But I’m guessing you could discern as much from the length of this post
