Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Just part of a Blurb from the "About Terra" Section...


The Virus and Information – is it still around somewhere? – (Blurb) 
 
In the years since the Blackout scholars throughout the Protectorate and beyond have questioned one of Conrad’s most heinous acts – the erasure of hundreds of years of human development. His release of the HPG virus, though terrible, has been ultimately viewed as a stopgap measure designed to support the Order’s early efforts while Conrad worked to prepare the Order for its inevitable domination of the Inner Sphere. After all, the specific nature of the Blackout virus only targeted key components of the HPG; thereby disabling the transmitter – not destroying it...

This is getting ridiculous. My current word count is 18,502 and growing. It's gonna take me days to get this copy edited. Ugh...no end in sight.  :D

The good news is that we're finally down to the following:

Two full sections, four blurbs, full timeline and two introduction paragraphs. Assuming I refrain from adding additional "blurbs," I'll be finished writing the first draft fairly soon. Then it's copy editing, additions and then layout.

I've totally over estimated the amount of text for the primer, but it will run close to my final count once we include the faction primers.

Thanks guys. Copy editing is easy, just time consuming. Meh. It'll get done. I was just complaining.  ;)

Only one section left to write, but it's a biggy. Plus, the master timeline and two text blurbs. Right now we're hovering around 42,000 words after editing for the base primer. I only have a few more graphics to collect and tweak and a few more special "pages" for the style layout.

Maybe a week or two I'll have the text finished if I can stay focused...

Now, on to some Goliath Scorpions...  ;)

Do you want a fresh set of eyes to scan it before finalising it?

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Yeah, soon as it's finalized I'll shoot it your way in a Word Doc.
