Good together and individual.

Welve got a dam too and that gives us a good start. Plenty of knowledge in town as well.

Where are your dam inspectors? How do we really know you have knowledge without dam inspectors?

Dam it all.

One of my neighbors was head of maintinance at the sawmill we worked at some years ago. That man can build or fabricate anything.

Oh and dam the dam inspectors.

The Kzin always attacked before they were ready. They remind me of Mooselimbs. Always attack.

Aren’t Viking Kitties honorary Kzinti? Or vice versa?

Female Kzin aren’t sentient.

I don’t know if that translates good or bad to humanity. A non-sentient, furry, felinoid, eight-foot female with eight bikini tops kinda scares the poop outta me. Especially if she has PMS and natural predator weapons.

I like your tagline. It recalls Churchill's June 18, 1940 "Finest Hour Speech", in which he said

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.

Narrator: "Good news and bad news, Mr. Drill. The world is dead and you're one of the only survivors."

BtD: "Hokey smokes! That's awful! What's the good news?"

Narrator: "That was the good news, Mr. Drill. Here's the bad news."

“The Stand” 1994 miniseries (6 hours) is a very good example of this genre. Just watched it again.

If it comes on again I may watch it or rent it from Netflix.

Thanks for the tip.
