You, Nick Kang, a judge?

*sputters and laughs mockingly*

Hahahaha, sure buddy, whatever you think. :P

Nah, I'm joking, go nuts.

I think I might be a judge, but MCC would be the best one there.

Knock yourself out MCC, your probably one of the fairest judges out there.

Speaking of the competition. What what you guys say about me being a judge? Huh? HUH?
Oh boy, I can't wait for the fun to start...

Fan fic competition? Where? When?

Sorry, Main, I haven't read it just yet, thought I'd just browse the comments...

My MSN has been hacked, don't talk to me unless I say "wingbolop"... or something.

Yeah, I could submit one of the stories I'm working on now, but then I wouldn't be able to post it on HBO.
I doubt I'd get very far in the competition, though.

Ackerson still has a long way to go.

And damn those Fan Fic contest rules! I could have submitted a ton of old stories. Now I have to make up a totally new and random one!

I don't know why, but I think Ackerson kicks ass. I really don't know... Just like how I wanted Vader to kill Luke, Sauron to smash Isildur, etc, etc. (or, like how I wanted the Elite to finish off the sergeant in the Legendary ending...) I just like evil bastards.

Again, the miracles of good thinking, excellent plotting and a general sense of cohesiveness combined with lovely writing. Shit, I wish I could do all those...

Think of Ackerson (and the Covies) sort of like Osama Bin Laden. They says stuff like "Ah! You're different! I will kill you!"
(The key phrase there is 'sort of'.)

The beginning paragraphs had capitalized general as it was the only thing Aaltjea knew to call him, and was therefore being used as a proper noun. The later generals, after he found out his name, didn't need to be capitalized. You don't have to capitalize ranks.

The speaking shouldn't be that confusing though, I started a new paragraph for every time a new speaker began, and usually had some sort of identifier for who had just spoken. If it was unclear, I'm sorry.

As for the Ackerson thing, it'll make sense later. I'm going to finish up Homeworlds, which will give you some backstory for this story. Then I'll finish this series.

Well, I think that in those paragraphs, "general" should have been capitalized, seeing as it is a rank.
The dialogue was a little confusing, as in telling who was speaking, bet that enhanced the mood and feeling of the story, overall.
You gave the main character the perfect personality and...character, to have been "seduced by the dark side"...er...Ackerson and his dirty tricks.
Of course, Ackerson isn't evil, he's just misunderstood, like the Covenant. Right? Hmm...

This is the first story in the sequel to Homeworlds.

I got bored and for some reason wrote it. But you'll understand everything soon if you read the ending of Homeworlds.

Interesting, very very interesting. But what was this guy doing in the museum in the first place? Just taking a little mosey into history?

Noooooo! Don't team up with Ackerson! He is pure EVIL!!!!
lol
Great story, as usual, Main. Your descriptions were awesome and I could actually see the doughnut-shaped room full of exhibits. I got kinda confused when Ackerson(aka Ambridge) came in, but no biggy.
