Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday. Maybe I’ll get home this week.
Henceforth, he’d suggest to the Council, any councilor who had to leave Central to untangle a sticky situation beyond one-ended teleport range would take an aide who could anchor a return teleport. For the few member systems beyond two-ended range, they’d set up a chain of anchors. And members in the field would keep in touch with Council decisions.
“Good idea,” Mako said when Roi’s office had become a temporary meeting place for the eleven that the regent trusted. “But it wouldn’t have stopped this vote. Zhaim may have been—must have been—lobbying those who voted for it. The rest of us had no warning at all.”

And the plot thickens some more. Great eight as usual. Hope you get home soon!
Interesting 8.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.
You paint a perfect picture of politics in this land above. It boggles the mind. Thinking of you, my friend.
Oh, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
I hope you do get to go home this week – it’s always better to be in one’s own place. Enjoyed the snippet, I’m fascinated by Zhaim’s machinations and how hard Roi and the others have to work to try to circumvent him. Excellent excerpt!
Wish I could, but I can’t handle the oxygen by myself.
Another great snippet. Sending healthy thoughts your way.
You perfectly captured the politics of the situation. Take care of yourself.
Politics are awful.
I hope you’ll be home soon, too, Sue Ann.
Roi’s anchor-plan might work for next time, especially if he’s prepared for Zhaim, but I’d really want to know how he’s going to fix things this time! 🙂
This is the setup for a trilogy.
It’s always about politics, isn’t it?
On another note, I hope you’re feeling better. Thanks for stopping by.

For the moment I’m in an assisted living home.
A little closing the barn door after the horse has fled, but perhaps it will help in the future.
Remember this is the setup for a trilogy.
Fantastic eight! Hoping that you get home, gosh that must be aggravating. 😦
They should keep going for a while.
I have a feeling Zhaim is well ahead in the plotting race and things will soon be forced out of the civilized arena of the council. Nice building of tension in these snippets.
The first echoes of the slaving are already occuring.
Glad to have you with us again Sue Ann! You have been missed. 🙂
Love your snippet, as always. You have such a complex world and every aspect of how everything functions figured out down to the smallest one. That’s what makes your snippets so good. I can totally buy into your characters world as if it were real.
It’s pretty real to me.
Oh deep politics. Need to read more to fully appreciate it. I look forward to next week! tweeted and reblogged 🙂
Zhaim’s a plotter who uses politics for his own ends.
Interesting snippet. Sounds like some shady business going on. I hope they make it back home safely.
Keep smiling,
Yawatta
Roi’s more worried about Horizon.
