I stand corrected then. But a Ho Chi Minh 2.0 type who is sufficiently different from your mother would work, would it not? Or do you already have such a character?

Forget the mother angle then, what about the Ho Chi Minh 2.0 angle? Or a Le Duan 2.0 angle? Some sort of Vietnamese angle, since you're so into the Vietnam War and all, and it fits with your cold war paradigm.

Re: SARS Pt. 2 - Wuhan Boogaloo
Now you got me thinking about her
My mother & I basically have fun when we are stoned out of our gourds,
preferably in the woods of British Columbia
She's fun like that, stoner adventures
The rest of the time she's a source of stress
Thinking about her probably increases my chance of heart attack
This is why we live on opposite ends of the country, because I stress her out too
We love each other, but we don't get along

Where I left Spacemerica was actually down the Trebuchet 007 in Space rabbit hole
I haven't been working on the Space Commies much

Trebuchet 007, I liked that angle, and I know Monte is a big fan obviously. The reason I ask about the Space Commies, is the villain is great way to help define the protagonist, hence Spacemerica's enemies are important in bringing out the most American Spacemerica, as you know that the Americans tend to get aimless with out a well defined opposition to rally against and tend to turn on themselves more often without it, as a result.

The war is on earth, space is simply the high ground
The arc of the story is that the Spacemericans look to the stars away from earth
They are being forced to defend the high ground for America, but that is being imposed from Washington
NASA is becoming a nation unto itself, they are building starships

Re: SARS Pt. 2 - Wuhan Boogaloo
Who is forcing them to defend the high ground and why they are forcing them to defend the high ground is a great way to help flesh out the Spacemericans, while fleshing out the villain at the same time, two birds with one stone, using defense to create offense and using offense to create defense, synergistically.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 11:10 pmSpacemericans are more like early American pioneers,StCapps wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 11:04 pmTrebuchet 007, I liked that angle, and I know Monte is a big fan obviously.
