Eh, was expecting an infodump about Guristas/Angel in that...

I like stories sure but I'd rather have infodumps that can help us improve our RP or add to our universe, or is a behind-the-scenes with the ongoing storyline.

Go back and read it... it has some small infodumps in it. (Very small, but still.)

Anyone else get the impression that the narrator was female, despite the artwork implying that it was male?

I had to re-read at one point to decide, because I had a similar impression. I'm not sure what gave me that impression, though.

At this point, I'm comfortable with the conclusion that the narrator is male.

obviously Gallentean and therefore at touch with his feminine side.

Men can be emasculate. I very much am more cuddly and less rawrawrgh.

I just went back and re-read it, and still got the impression it was a guy. In fact, I couldn't help but hear it in a Harrison Ford voice.

Maybe I'm just an oddball, *shrug*.

"He" is Caldari it seems.  Don't ask me how I know, I just feel it.  :P

The bolded part is what makes me think it's a male narrative.

However, the feel of the whole piece is of a woman's perspective, or at least a feminine perspective.  The picture for the chronicle seems to imply, at least from my view, like it's the woman who is speaking, not the man.  We don't know who is speaking, who the narrator is, but the story is rather powerful.

So, I am of the opinion that though the feel of the piece is feminine, it is indeed a male speaking.  Or rather, the impression that Hona left on him speaking. ;)

Everyone we meet changes us, and sometimes it's said that there is one person you didn't expect who changes it the most, and unlocks a part of you that was somehow neglected.  It may not be love, but a connection.

Hona is three.
