Oh... Gods... I just realized that the name "Hope Drive" may have been a cruel joke at Salem's expense this whole time...
I'm glad you guys enjoyed getting a taste of Salem's background, by the way ^_^ I enjoyed writing it. Took a fair amount of research into my old notes-- it's been a while since I delved that deep.
Also, yes, I did just have Salem quote Dollhouse. Sue me. I liked that show.
And damn if he isn't playing hardball, eh?
Hoo, yeah. No kidding. Haha. Oh, this plot thread is so much fun ^_^
I intentionally left Salem's reference to Siruvan vague, because while I'm assuming Salem is at least acquainted with Siruvan, I don't yet know how or how well. Haha. We'll have to figure that one out at some point.
I've been neglecting Morgan and Julian.
You should stop doing that. They miss you. WE miss you
Luckily, with the pace the bar moves at these days, you haven't actually fallen very far behind as far as plot goes. You could pick up and post again as though nothing had happened and hardly anything would be amiss.
