    I've never been able to tweak their tab setting to work the way I like them, no matter what add-ons I use. At the moment I use an ancient IE tweak called MyIE (not the horrible new thing of the same name) that opens a new tab at the end of the row every time I click on a link - but doesn't automatically go to it. It's ideal for browsing the PVB. I've never been able to 100% simulate it on any other browser.


Actually, Safari does that. I know exactly what you're talking about, since it's what I do all the time, especially if I'm at Amazon.com or eBay looking at items and don't want to lose my place in a search. It takes a different combo (Cmd-Click on the Mac, I think Alt-Click in Windows) than single click, but it's easy to get used to. I'm doing that right now, in fact, since I have 2 things to reply to. It's kind of funny that I recommend Safari for IE addicts because it's actually the most similar to it in behavior (Firefox and Chrome are drastically different).

      First thing I thought of is that all energy has a "taste" to it, only not perceptible in the traditional way - kind of how different sources of water have different tastes. Energy Lara gets from things like the universe, the sun, magnetic fields, tastes pretty generic, it's like the differences between different cities' tap water - a wide variation, but generally still refreshing and drinkable.

    In this case I think you need to find some interesting in-story was to show not tell all of this at some point.


I'll try to find somewhere to put it. I haven't yet because I just now thought of it.

      If there's too much risk of harming anyone else, Anna wouldn't want any part of it. She barely feels in control of what she has already.

    Noted.


Remember, Anna's worst fear is becoming a danger to the friends she made and works hard to keep. Because then she'll be all alone and afraid again.

    Why not? But what have the Alliance to trade in return?


They are masters of logistics and trade, so pretty much anything they have access to in their territory is fair game. The only thing they don't trade is giving their advanced tech to non-Alliance-members, because they want an edge, and because the consequences could be disasterous.
