I present a new story idea for a game. The game name is "Pipe Dream" it's the notion of well, "a distant dream" "an impossible not going to happen dream" like russel brand ever telling a funny joke. Though the word miracle seems more appropriate for that unlikelyhood :)
"Pipe Dream"
-EXT - Fornlong Fields, The City Of Light, The World Of Marns - Circa 35000
We circle above a field of grass swaying in the gentle breeze. A light rain falls.
Two people. A man, and his wife of over ten years. They are both members of the Confederation.
The man's name is Nyl Mack - The woman is named Eyn Mack.
NYL
The winds are strong today.
EYN
You big baby. it's a breeze. It's nice.
NYL
I am not. (Smiles) Seems too good a day for war.
EYN
Any day is too good to war my husband.
NYL
True enough. The music is playing, the festival has begun.
*we hear folk music in the distance*
EYN
Lyn will be miffed. We're always late to his shindigs.
NYL
Ha! Shindig. A grand term for a bunch of drunken pilots.
EYN
Don't be mean (Smiles) They're just blowing off steam. They have a uncertain future. More so than most.
NYL
True, true. I just wish they'ed be a bit more civil. It is a fine day for such things.
EYN
They'll calm down once the whisky hits their heads. The spirits Bne makes would take down a star cruiser.
NYL
Hah! Yes I have sampled his wares. Lethal, just lethal. (Smiles)
*A siren plays*
EYN
Quiet solitude is a lost dream. Let's go.
They begin to run towards the landing/take off zone.
INT - High Commander's Room - Moments Later
High Commander Pne stands before his assistant, Ypo
PNE
Incoming? What sort of incoming?
YPO
Flusian Scouts, and a couple of battleships.
PNE
Fucking instigators. They'ed rattle the cage of the gods.
YPO
Orders sir?
PNE
I'm not losing any men today. Activate the atmosphere shields. Full power. Let them rattle our cage.
YPO
Sir.
He walks out.
A communicator on his desk lights up and a hologram appears.
It is his the High Commissioner Lon
LON
Bad news Pne?
PNE
Nothing we can not handle.
LON
You're a good Leader Pne. Contact me if you require any assistance.
PNE
Of course Commissioner.

That's enough for one session. I like how it turned out. I will continue it later and try to build a game around it. I have a lot of code already wrote, including a very nice node based logic editor(For unity3d mind you, not anything)
Anyway, I could just say see you but that isn't grand and poetic enough. So I will now embarrass myself by saying a more fancy see ya.
Until the sun rises again, my friends :)
(See? I embarrased myself yes. but in the name of poetry. which is always a grand and just cause :) )
