Content[edit]
- Grimm Sentence (by Chris Hussey)
- Secrets of the Sphere: The Cameron Question (by Michael J. Ciaravella)
A sensationalized report on Secrets of the Sphere by host Kyle DiNoto, "the Questioner", recorded 10 June 3150 in the fashion of a Canon Rumor. The report claims House Cameron still exists through David Cameron, a computer programmer from Mendham and supposedly a still-living direct line descendant of Ian Cameron. Evidence cited includes Sandra Raines' report on the SLS Tripitz and the myth that it may have evactuated baby twins of the Cameron line, and "lost prophecies" of Jocasta Cameron supposedly provided to the host by the Cult of the Saints Cameron. However, Daniel Cameron has since vanished. (According to the report, the SLS Tripitz was en route to an SLDF shipyard in the Horsham system but became stranded one jump away in New Vandenberg; passenger manifests supposedly revealed a set of twins heading to Horsham at that time. It is worth noting that there is no record of an SLDF shipyard at Horsham. While Horsham housed a large naval yard when it was a Taurian Concordat holding, it was the site of bloody combat in 2582 which left it "little more than a useless, hollow shell" accdording to Historical: Reunification War, p. 79.) - The Flames of Idlewind (by Blaine Lee Pardoe)
