You should post this on the Final Drafts forum if you haven't already , because this RPC needs more exposure, given its quality. On that note, I loved what you've created here. The lore you've created is especially great, but my favorite aspect of this article is without a doubt the growing sense of urgency and impending doom this RPC exudes. The atmosphere you've created here is phenomenal. Can't wait to read more from you.
thanks, i appreciate your feedback a lot, glad my first article was well-recieved
it might sound corny but this is honestly close to what i was going for
i'd like the reader to think, once they got all the details, "oh man, we really fucked up"
Funny how the least plausible part of this article is that the USSR and US conducted join operations in the 1950s. The only thing I'd suggest is replacement of AU with some other unit, since there is no reason RPC-043-1 would need to extend anywhere near the distance between the Earth and the Sun
I like this concept and execution, but there still exists some tonal errors that damage my immersion.
3 now. 4 if this gets improved.
