*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR DZHINNAN TONN IX *** A long time ago, I read a book titled "We All Died At Breakaway Station." I cannot remember who wrote it. Do any of you know? Short spoiler- Humans are at war with a race of monosexual beings called Jillies. The story follows the life of the captain of a starship stationed at Breakaway Station. The station is eventually overrun, and the humans attempt to escape. The starships travelled by making hyperspace microjumps. The on-board computer is sentient, goes by the name of rog(?), and spoke in lowercase only (probably a unix-box :-). I won't reveal the ending, but I guess you can all do that for yourselves... Does this strike a familiar chord with anyone? -- -- Jonathan D. Trudel -- arpa: trudel@blue.rutgers.edu uucp:{seismo,allegra,ihnp4}!topaz!blue!trudel Why, Crusher! It's good to see you!

I believe that "We All Died..." is by Richard Meredith. (I've got it somewhere around here, but you know how THAT goes :-) ) -- Mike Farren uucp: {dual, hplabs}!well!farren Fido: Sci-Fido, Fidonode 125/84, (415)655-0667 USnail: 390 Alcatraz Ave., Oakland, CA 94618
