Wed. Dec 12, 3049: A year after General Tom Stancel becomes senior officer of 12th Vegan Rangers; sterling reviews from subordinates & clients.

Even more important, it's Wednesday. Got what I mean?

Ah crap, there's Vegans in BT lore?

Doesn't matter. Guys with haircuts like that are always easy to beat down, glowing eyes or not.

Indeed. Do these Vegans have vegan powers? Can they be overcome by the power of Bass?

I live in San Francisco, and I think people that don't live here have a bit of a wong impression of us.

Sure there's a lot of the stuff that the city has a reputation for, but it's also a hard drinking much more down to earth city than people expect.

Sure It's a wierd town, but believe me, the nuts are a much smaller percentage of the population than people think,.

However, they are vocal and active enough to completely eclipse the silent rational majority, who if they exist, have chosen irrelevancy. Maybe the local news covers "hero citizen beats down burglar" but the national news only sees *** rights activists invading a Catholic church dressed as nuns for the purpose of disrespecting and disrupting a place where the very notion of "sanctuary" was born. While I'm sure you see your point of view very clearly from your vantage point, distance obscures it enough for the rest of us to get a totally different picture.

Regardless, we've both driven off topic here. I have a question though. Why is this posted 5 years before sarna lists him as leader? Anyone know the source material?

From what I can imply is in 3054 he becomes the 'Commanding Officer' of the unit, at present he's just a senior officer of the 12th Vegan Rangers. I think the problem is that we look at the news flash and see 'General' which is taken straight from Sarna, so that might be the incorrect rank for this individual based on his position within the unit in 3049.

Thus it throws the entire news flash onto the questionable research line of talk again. At least it wasn't spelling this time.

shouldnt this be posted elsewhere? I mean it is fiction so why is it under announcements instead of universe or community or something.
