Discussion

I was having one of those interesting discussions with Grabon. I do that sometimes. I’m the writer and I know my characters so well that sometimes I talk to them. Anyway I asked him if he were to establish a territory here on OldEarth where it would be? First off he thinks we’re all crazy…
