“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Monday arrived way too damn fast. I was rather enjoying the weekend – I went skiing, and actually managed not to fall down even once, despite being 6 months out of practice; I had a burger, beer, and fries for the first time in… well, a VERY long time; I...

For those of you who have some historical awareness, you will know certain countries exist ONLY so that other, larger, more powerful countries can use them to sort out longstanding differences. Poland, for instance, is effectively a place for Russia and Germany to...
