Chapter six (#2): Getting into the details

I was hoping to avoid the mess of plots and progress. Now I’ve got to start developing these pesky characters. Or at least introduce a couple more, now that I’ve gone and killed off two of the four named ones so far. Need a larger cast of characters. Well, Ludlum didn’t, and he made money, right? Well, RW at least cleaned up for his new bunkmate. An Australian woman joining a freighter cruise at a small port city in Russia’s eastern coast? Sounds fishy to me. But I’ve always been suspicious of Australians. (Just kidding.)

I’m keeping the nerd content up in the story: no reason not to treat the reader like an intelligent human who can understand a little compuspeak. I just gotta make sure its not just the male pocket-protector varieties that end up reading this… Unless they like paying list price.
