So what do you guys think? :)
I'm going to continue it of course with the next part actually containing real people

I'm also writing a story about a space battle, but that is still a work in progress and so is my Empires timeline

Its nice. I like the fact its a computer executing a program which makes it different. It looks very interesting and I cant wait to read more :D

It reminds me of the story I gave up on a hundred or 2 days ago. Hand of haven I think it was called.
