Very nice. I do love seeing stuff inspired by TNO showing up.Hey, I liked this timeline so much that I created a TNO-inspired custom super event for the beginning of the Final War!
It is with a cruel sense of irony that the descendants of a people that had a 90% death toll due to disease 500 years earlier during the colonization of the Americas, faced a similar 90% death toll from Stone Dogs now.
I am little bit late to the discussion but I wanted to say:snip
Drakia: "Haha! Biodiversity go bye bye!"Wait, what?
Oh fuc-
Ah.
I thought they could have tried operating the two space fighters mentioned in Chapter 39 out of tugs to harry Drakia's few remaining space bombers in the broken back phase. Was that just not feasible, or are they focusing on holding out and bootstrapping up?

I would love to see a Wikipedia-style infobox for Arthur Klein. He’s had quite the life.
I am little bit late to the discussion but I wanted to say:
-The results of the Stone Dogs pandemic are depressing, just imagining the hundreds of millions (or billions?) of people dying of it makes me shiver.
-The last stand speech was nice.
-Klein, you slick bastard, always switching sides, he is a severe case of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceRevolvingDoor but that's why we love him and I trust what he is planning to do.
-I can't wait to see what will happend in 14 monts ITTL but "the start of the anthropocene mass extinction"? THIS scares me even more than the viruses...not only Mankind but also the Biosphere suffers a lot here.
god if this is anything like permian excintion then bassicily everything gonna die esspically complex life
Ah, yes. This is indeed more accurate to his case.He has a bad case of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.
that would be a minor mass excintion and consirding that our current mass excintion is on track to far succed that and consiridng how much damage the workd has undergone it should probaly be higherThe fighters they have are short-range- incapable of traveling between the Earth and the Moon on their own. It would be possible to jerry rig something together with the other craft they have to get the fighters back to Earth, but that would leave Alliance Luna completely undefended from space and they would be badly outnumbered by Drakia's handful of remaining spacefighters. The decision was made to focus on holding out and to start bootstrapping for the long term.
This is awesome and you should feel awesome.
If someone else wants to make one (as my skills lie in other areas) that would be really cool.
I really wasn't planning to be as topical with that as I ended up being.
@viper23 came up with that one! I just edited it a little bit.
He has a bad case of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.
Ah, so not to give anything away but we're not talking anything even close to the Permian extinction. Maybe I'm misusing the term mass extinction, but I feel like losing 25-30% of the Earth's biodiversity qualifies.
14 months is really too short for the remaining combat-capable free nations to be ready for Round 2.-I can't wait to see what will happend in 14 monts ITTL but "the start of the anthropocene mass extinction"? THIS scares me even more than the viruses...not only Mankind but also the Biosphere suffers a lot here.
Given the raw destructive powers that have been unleashed on a world already riven with industrialization far in excess of OTL, I'm pretty sure mutated Stone Dogs is a footnote.....Hold on. Is it possible that Stone Dogs mutated after all, not to bypass vaccination but to infect other animal species?
Remaining spacefighters weren't mentioned, but yeah, that makes sense now.The fighters they have are short-range- incapable of traveling between the Earth and the Moon on their own. It would be possible to jerry rig something together with the other craft they have to get the fighters back to Earth, but that would leave Alliance Luna completely undefended from space and they would be badly outnumbered by Drakia's handful of remaining spacefighters. The decision was made to focus on holding out and to start bootstrapping for the long term.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Apparently it does happen; it’s called zooanthroponosis. It’s even happened lately, with COVID and those poor minks.....Hold on. Is it possible that Stone Dogs mutated after all, not to bypass vaccination but to infect other animal species?
I mean this is very likely and plus war and mass militarty hostipitals. Infact their a therou world war 1 and warfront caused Spanish flu to muate to a deadlier form cause no matter how deadly it stilled infected furthermore with all dead body around it be diffcult but not immposibke for it to jumpYeah, I was wondering about that. Apparently it does happen; it’s called zooanthroponosis. It’s even happened lately, with COVID and those poor minks.
Wouldn’t it be supremely ironic if the Stone Dogs mutated, jumped the species barrier back to humans, dodged the vaccines, and infected the Drakians? I mean, those Drakensis are awfully inbred, and they’re under a lot of stress, both of which tend to hamper one’s immune system. The schadenfreude would be delicious.
It won't be a footnote- I have a feeling that there's going to be something akin to a Technological Dark Age- like EBR's Stars and Stripes Forever. You could see an "American Empire" being formed out of Klein's decedents, while Drakia eventually receives karma by having the former Bondsmen become the ruling class, enslaving the Drakensis specimens.Given the raw destructive powers that have been unleashed on a world already riven with industrialization far in excess of OTL, I'm pretty sure mutated Stone Dogs is a footnote.
In terms of the post-war mass extinction, yeah, it kind of is. A deadlier flu is a drop in the bucket compared to the bio and chemical weapons dumped into the watershed, and the nuclear/impactor winter enveloping the globe, the war refugees left reliant on alternative food sources...It won't be a footnote.
I'll collect as much info as I can find together, in case anyone ends up wanting to do an infobox.If someone else wants to make one (as my skills lie in other areas) that would be really cool.
