Good writing, neat ideas and a pretty good plot. But there were a few things that puzzle me:
The motive of the ghost that lets the Cyberlisks escape along with the protoss.I mean,what kind of person turns traitor and risks terrible punishment on such a flimsy basis?
It would also have been good if the author could explained why it was OK for Hunter to leave his "post" (e.g. his rank is Specialist ect).
If the Cyberlisks were expiremental war machines grown\manufactured in a lab where did they get morals? Did Casandra secretly give them some kind of ethnics protocol?
Lastly, is the author familiar with the all the aspects of Hydralisk physiology? I wonder because it is a known fact Hydralisks have Three mandibles. One is small and much like a humans. The other two are on either side of the mouth, they pivot out and down at approx. 45 degrees. On these outer mandibles are many sharp fangs, their appearant use is to draw the food into the mouth. So what I really want to know is this: how do Cyberlisks kiss? They do have the mouth of a Hydralisk,right?
Sorry if I am too critical but I really like the story so I would like to see the quirks worked out. Other than the above only a few mistakes. Briliant work really.
Author\'s Response: "The motive of the ghost that lets the Cyberlisks escape along with the protoss.I mean,what kind of person turns traitor and risks terrible punishment on such a flimsy basis?"The world of Woj Norhal is a fringe world, meaning it has very little contact with the Dominion Administration. Plus, the people there simply don't like the Dominion, military or not."It would also have been good if the author could explained why it was OK for Hunter to leave his "post" (e.g. his rank is Specialist ect)."Good question. Then again, he is a ghost, an subject to his own judgement in some areas."If the Cyberlisks were expiremental war machines grown\manufactured in a lab where did they get morals? Did Casandra secretly give them some kind of ethnics protocol?"I'm sure I addressed that in the early chapters. In any case, I think it will be resolved later on."Lastly, is the author familiar with the all the aspects of Hydralisk physiology?
