I ams pretty occupied with the Service Police training at the moment. It finishes in four weeks so I’m hoping life returns to it’s normal time slot (I miss having the weekends off!).

But, yes. Email away. :)

Can we start working on it again, then? The only reason I’ve stopped poking you is because I didn’t know how busy you are and I didn’t want to appear pushy. :)

Can I email you?

Abanest should most definitely be the force-of-nature character.

Aww… I miss thinking about Ruth and her ship crew.

@Kao
That’s one of the dangers of making a heroic mime talk, yes. Annoying. But apperantly Nintendo thinks this is a good direction for Metroid. *sigh*

@Puppy
Exactly!

@John
The story for Metroid Prime 1 has been written by Retro and just approved by Nintendo. But Other M is “in close communication with ” It’s one of the reason I worry so much about Other M – it was Nintendo Japan who was HAPPY about the atrocity that’s the Metroid Manga and apperantly it’s supposed to be Canon there. That’s kinda like Sega saying the Archi-comics are now canon.

Samus Aran herself has hugely different characterizations (interpretations?) in the Western World and Japan – the fact that she’s a bounty hunter for example seems to be a Western Invention. In Japan she’s more treated like a normal superhero.

Yeah, not helping me to not worry.

But hey, I can always tell you if the game’s any good, I’ll buy it afterall. And then we’ll see. ;)

On the force of nature thingy: THAT’s what I’m missing in my character rooster. Siendes is a tactican/brawler, Chally a classic lady of war. Mirrough uses nature, but she’s a trickster. Yeah, mysterious force of nature is soly missing. The closest would be Abanest, but I’m not working with her right now. :(
