Ok ... Just hear me out. Everyone has their fetish. I have mine too. It involves Honor. I can always see her in my dreams. She's always wearing my favorite outfit . . .

She's wearing a brand ... spanking ... sparkly new SD. Fully tricked out. Honor is retired now. And she doesn't want to sit at home all cooped up. And when I say home, I mean the MBS. Honor wants to travel the Galaxy now. It seems she has a knack for diplomacy. Solving the Galaxy's problems.

BUT!

If she thinks HAMISH BETH GRAYSON MICHELLE HER PARENTS AND NIMITZ are going to allow her to travel less than first class and armed to the teeth, well, she's got another think coming! I'M TELLING YOU!

They're insisting on this ship and that ship. For this reason and that reason. Fully tricked out. What will Honor pick for herself, and in what configuration? The five skies in the five kingdoms is the limit. Because everyone who's anyone wants to install something on her ship. In my dreams it's a brand spanking new SD.


I know. I know. You all think I'm crazy. You're sure to say a BC would be a better fit for Honor. Well I just don't care! You do your own fantasizing on your own dime. Just share it here with us Peeping Tom's. :D :oops:


So, Pimp Honor's Ride, you grease monkeys. She's retired. And she's earned it.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

But they will, anyway. Alfredo and Benjamin will insist on it. Anywhere she goes, an SD(P) division, BC squadron, handful of CA/CL/DD "just happen" to show up. Entirely by accident.

As far as Honor being retired. Retirement is just so arbitrary. The Verge, and the broken pieces of the League, may need her knack for diplomacy.

Although, she could become some other lucky student' Courvosier at Saganami.

Anyway, Harrington of the Spaceways, wearing a souped up SD. Try to take her with a Q-ship now.

Why an SD? Why escorts? This is a woman who killed an armed assassination team with a chafing dish. She'll normally commute with the Tankersley - unless she is on an official mission for the government. And if someone jumps her in hyper... well...for their family's sake, they better have paid their insurance premiums.

RFC said "refitting a Beowulfan SD to Manticoran standards would be just as difficult as refitting a standard SLN SD to those standards. In other words, it would be cheaper and faster to build new ships."

There could be more lucky students. Honor could turn out an entire class with the Midas touch.

Because there are Sharks in the water. And killer whales. A naked Salamander is just a sitting duck. In her yacht, she's just a duck.

One of Hemphill's more outlandish and impractical ideas has been rotting away out in the unicorn belt for the past few years.

The idea was to take an upscaled Junction Fort, strap on a hyperdrive and set of impellers. Add a few Xtra Thicc boat bays for 1 Saganami-C CA + 2 Avalon CL and a few hundred extra LAC's. Weld several dozen grav lances and energy torpedo launchers to the hull for safe measure, and now we're talking! This monstrosity has a dashingly obscene acceleration of 80g and a Warshawski sail the size of Old Earth's Texas. It was intended to be built in the Manticore system and then transferred through the lynx terminus to be spread out to the various Talbot systems as a stop-gap planetary defense station until the local building programs could get underway and take up the slack.

Needless to say a several hundred page report from the Treecat's most esteemed hyperphysisist "Sprints For Celery" quickly put to rest any far fetched fantasies BuShips may have had regarding the idea.

That is until....

When the dynamic duo out at Bolthole heard about Honor's questionable plans to go galavanting around the galaxy playing super mom, they immediately set to work finishing the project. Everyone knew that inevitably fecal matter was bound to clog up the rotary air impellers again, and that the only chance humanity had was to ensure the survival of their renowned Demi-Goddess.

No longer needing to focus on the utilitarian necessities of system defense, the designers have taken quite a few liberties with the interior of "Her Majesty's Space Station Copperwalls" Not the least of which is a series of fully pressurized interconnecting docking bay's for the 1 CA 2 CL complement of "Small Craft" HMSS Copperwalls carries. With some creative programming of the envriosystems a truly innovative system of constantly changing thermals allows endless hours of challenging hang gliding through the hangers & around the hulls of docked ships.
