And then I had been posted to 149-Delta.ĭalo was kneeling over a box of mutomati as the cabin door opened and an aide announced, “General Anson to see Captain Porter, ten-hut!”
So much Terran art has been lost in the original, but the Sistine is still there, and we both longed to gaze up at that sublime ceiling. I’d put in for a posting to Terra, which neither of us had ever visited, and we were excited about the chance to see, at long last, the Sistine Chapel. Crates of personal gear sat on the floor of our tiny sitting room, where Dalo would spend most of her time while I was downside. It is mathematical fact.ĭalo and I were just settling into our quarters on the Scheherezade when the general arrived, unannounced and in person. This is not philosophical maundering nor constitutional gloom. I will be paying for what happened on 149-Delta for whatever is left of my life. But no corner of a war is minor to the soldiers fighting there, and even a small incident can have enormous repercussions. In fact, it was a minor incident in a minor corner of the Human-Teli war. What happened next was never made into a holo. It was an important Human victory in the war, and at that point we needed it. General Anson had deflected a large meteor to crash into the enemy base, destroying a major Teli weapons store and much of the Teli civilization on the entire planet. Shimira’s brilliant green eyes were very effective, although not accurate. Author unknown, but the veteran actress Shimira Coltrane played the colonel (now, of course, a general). That’s from the holo version, available by ansible throughout the Human galaxy forty-eight hours after the Victory of 149-Delta. “Search for survivors,” the colonel ordered, just before she passed out from wounds that would have killed a lesser soldier, and all soldiers were lesser than she. how did you do that, ma’am?” the OD asked, dazed. And when the light finally faded, the enemy base was gone. Crewmen, those still standing on the battered and limping ship, threw up their arms to shield their eyes. Ī brilliant light blossomed on every screen, a blinding light, filling the room. “Fire at will!” the OD ordered the gun bay, and then closed his eyes against the coming barrage, as well as against the sight of the exec’s mangled corpse. The young and untried officer of the deck cried, “It won’t do any good, there’s too many-”
“Return fire!” the colonel ordered, bleeding on the deck of her ship, ferocity raging in her nonetheless controlled voice. Series: The Tales of Gorlen Vizenfirthe.Series: From the Lost Travelers’ Tour Guide.People of Colo(u)r Destroy Science Fiction!.
Empirical criteria are developed to predict the current regime from the cylinder Reynolds number and the array density. The theoretical expression for toe velocity is supported by observed values. Two drag‐dominated regimes associated with linear and nonlinear drag laws are identified. Unlike the unobstructed lock exchange, the gravity current in the canopy decelerates with time as the front lengthens. As canopy drag increases, the propagating front varies from the classic profile of an unobstructed gravity current to a triangular profile. Gravity currents in aquatic canopies Gravity currents in aquatic canopiesĪ lock exchange experiment is used to investigate the propagation of gravity currents through a random array of rigid, emergent cylinders which represents a canopy of aquatic plants.
