08/25/2020 Snippet, OMBUDSMAN.

And OMBUDSMAN is in the can! Huzzah! Although it needs an edit or two before I put it up on Patreon this month.

STEELMAN Shows His Metal — This engraving shows the Gallant Defense of the Enterprise at Mahoning by Director JOHN STEELMAN and his Workers against Despicable Traitors and agents of a Foreign Power. Steelman (center), wounded but Resolute, stands over the prostrate form of JAMES THE UNJUST, chief Instigator of this most Wicked Plot against the Workers and Managers of the Hershey Consortium. Steelman’s Vice-President HAYATO “GUMBALL” GORO and Consortium Ombudsman AMORTIZATION TREMBLAY stand to one side, caught in the moment of taking up Arms after being Liberated by Steelman’s Workers. A male figure up in one corner, dressed in robes and fleeing through a window, represents a Dastardly Minion of the U- D- who was allegedly present at the scene, only to Cravenly Flee from the scene of Battle. Behold the consequences to those who believe the False Promises and Corrupt Enticements of our foes. — The 2470 AD Annual Report of the Hershey Consortium, complete with edifying Narrations and Illustrations for the Discerning Reader.

  1. Have we been trawling dwarf fortress for description ideas. Although since it is neither engraved with an image of itself nor does it have bands or spikes to menace with, I suspect you have instead channeled whatever was the inspiration for dwarf fortress’s descriptions.
