Brilliant first post, Aya You seem to have got the feel and atmosphere and everything, not to mention allowing perfect exposition of your character (and juicy reading!).<br/><br/>I'm already thinking up a way for Valkyrie to be filtered down through the masses...maybe someone in the Cartel is an addict, maybe a Cartel - employed dealer is peddling some on the side, unbeknownst to either Cartel or Oligarchy for now...<br/><br/>I like your idea about Oligarches having their own area of crime, as well. Seems to fit perfectly with their ordered nature, and in retrospect, I don't know why I didn't think of it in the first place. Krayz, what's Ducard's specialised area?
