Description "Dare you to try to take our treats!  Just look what happened to the last Sand Afra who tried!"
"You... took her jacket?"
"And her gun!"
"Is there any ammunition?"
"Just take the picture!"

Meanwhile, on 23 Librae b (Kasparov 16L) the fighting between NATO and Kasparov continues.  Since the name tape on this jacket says "Thompson", I decided to call this particular oddball of a Shik "Tommy".

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all: 
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational. 
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The grey uniform ain't the clone-girl's disgrace. 
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck 'er out, the brute! "
But it's "Save our corporation!" when the guns begin to shoot; 
An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please; 
An 'Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool - you bet that Tommy sees!

- Ancient Shik poem, possibly adapted from R. Kipling

More ancient Shik ballads:
Shik barrack-room balladIf the boyfriend go wrong with a comrade, be loath
 To shoot when you catch 'em -- you'll swing, on my oath!
-- Make 'er take 'im and keep 'him: that's Hell for them both,
 An' you're shut o' the curse of a clone-girl.
 Curse, curse, curse of a clone-girl
 . . . When first under fire an' you're wishful to duck, 
Don't look nor take 'eed at the girl that is struck,
 Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck 
And march  front like a Kasparov soldier
Front, front, front like a soldier . . .
 When 'arf of your bullets fly wide in the ditch,
 Don't call your FN-FAL " cross-eyed old bitch"; 
She's human as you are -- you treat her as sich, 
An' she'll fight for the young clone-girl soldier. 
Fight, fight, fight for the young Shik soldier . . .
When you're wounded and left on a starship's steel floor,
 And the biomancers come to take your remains, 
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains 
An' go t


Kasparov soldiers! You are soldiers in order to die and I am sending you where one goes to die! Long live death! - Col. Mileena Astray

This is wonderful! I love your characters and your painting style.  
A box labelled treats?! That almost seems like a Senya trap...  

Also, there is a famous Canadian painter named Tom Thomson!
