"What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever
- Thread starter Napoleon53
- Start date
Anyone think that Zap Zephyr and in fact the entire setting reminded anyone of Warhammer 40,000? (Grim, dark space setting. Deliberately over the top. Inquisition/Religious influences in military use. Fanaticism even among the low ranks. Some catastrophe happened (alternate War of 1812/Horus Heresy) that explains why everything went so badly. Veneration of historic figures (similar to Lorgar making a faith that worshipped the Emperor of Mankind. Everyone does awful things for various reasons. Most of the factions can be considered "bad" in both settings.)
Zephyr might also be similar to Star Wars Galactic Empire propaganda about Darth Vader... (who allowed it to happen to spread terror amongst the enemy and motivate the Imperial soldiers).

Well, I couldn't think of a better way to start this year. This was a really fun read, reminded me of one of those old Flash Gordon comics. I wonder, though, how RU comics and pop culture will change in later years. Especially under Oswald's regime.
So does his cigarette just ash in his helmet? Also now I think all the UFO stuff TTL will be either shrivelled space infees or blue skinned Nordic aliens.
You just know the presidential bedroom is gonna have a drum of blue body paint
“We choose to go to Space in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because of hot alien space tail, to break the surly bonds of gravity, to destroy the Martian space harlot-princesses, to spread the Pinnacle Seed to the stars!”
-Excerpt from Charles Oswalds infamous “To Space” talkie-box address.
All this talk of Mars just struck me; Kirkism (the ancient Pinnacle super race theory) would absolutely gobble up stuff like the Martian Canals and the Face On Mars as “evidence” of the advancement of the Primordial Anglo-Saxon Supermen.
I'm fine with this idea, if we get Fascist Rastafarian Madness!Snoop Dogg.
Yeah, but it has been already hinted Oswald will marry Steele's daughter Wyetta. Either he will become a widower or the chapter was talking about her
