Quote:“Yes, swing by medical and have Colonel Lake released and brought here. I’m not leaving her to Jackson’s tender mercies overnight. After that, have Foster brought here as well. In chains!” My favorite line. *snicker* What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Looking at it now almost a year later I can see loads of mistakes. Another one to add to my re-write list. Not really a bad thing as I plan to revisit this universe in Dark SHADO. Amelia, if this one scared you, I wouldn't read Dark Desire, be warned, very adult! What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Posts: 2391 Location: Coventry, RI Re: The Bodyguard FDK Reply #5 - Mar 6th, 2011 at 5:25pm Print Post A spoof on Psychobombs 165 SHADO HQ Main control room. Col. Lake has just been told that Foster is coming in with Linda Simmons. LAKE; "He what!" Lake storms into the Commander’s office. LAKE; "Foster is bringing Linda Simmons to the studio." Pauses. "Commander did you hear what I said?" STRAKER; "I heard." LAKE; Worried, frustrated. "But she is programmed to kill you." STRAKER; "Her target is also this control. I’d rather fight that situation on my own terms. When she arrives take her straight to room twenty-two." LAKE; "But Commander…" STRAKER; Perturbed. "That’s all, Colonel." Lake is brought up short and storms out of the office working up a good mad. She runs into Foster in the corridor and pulls out her pistol and shoots him dead. Close up Lake’s face; A satisfying smile and a nod. As much as I pick on Paul, he can be a very strong and likable character when written well. « Last Edit: Mar 7th, 2011 at 12:45am by Matt » What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Do you have any idea how hard it was to try to give either of them a decent reason in my story 'The Bodyguard'? Sheesh! What were they thinking? : The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars.

That's all I can say. I have to admit, I haven't yet come across any UFO fanfic that was as bad as some of those scripts. Close, maybe. But definitely not that badly written!
