Excerpt from “The Tough Guide to the Sea of Time” by Anonymous (Internet distribution, 3041):
“A lot of people, and I mean a lot a lot of people, thought in the first couple weeks after Vorax’s bully-boys showed up that once riled the forces of Earth and Fenspace combined would simply roll the fuck over obstacles. Not because we had superior tech or better tactics or moral clarity or any of the fifty thousand other bullshit answers most people will give you. No, we were going to swan up and start conquering because we were omniscient.
Remember the whole thing about BattleTech earlier? Well we had all the books, which we meant we had all the knowledge which supposedly put us in a superior strategic position to you poor barbarian Spheroids. Or something. There was a lot of unwarranted smugness going around, and not just from your average Fen in the street for whom unwarranted smugness is almost a way of life. No, serious people who really should’ve known better thought because we had all these BattleTech books we could predict exactly what was going to happen for the next thirty years.
(If you’ve managed to buy or pirate some of the BattleTech material that’s gone public in the last couple years - and if you’re the kind of person who reads drivel like this you almost certainly have - and then compared, say, the material’s version of 3029 to what actually happened you can see how well this prognostication worked out. Brav-fucking-O.)”
