Hi Guys. Here is another flash in Rhinoplasty series. Looking for readers/ first 13 lines here/ Is it hooky? Would you read on? ver 1 /
quote: “Stop and hover. Everyone just stop where you are and sync-up!”I commanded.Four Bumblebee pilots and three Wasp pilots came on-line as tiny holos of their faces appeared to either side of me. On their ships they were seeing the same thing, except my image would be a larger me in a radiant white toga frowning down on them like an angry God. At the moment I felt the part. I was having to strip away most of their bad training to make room for what I had to teach them.“Okay, kiddies what's the flight ceiling again?” “Five hundred feet, sir!” the eleven voices chorused, the gunners on the Bumblebees adding their voice though their holos weren't on-line“Then what are we doing at one thousand feet? Remember people, if you don't sell it that

I got as far as “Five hundred feet, sir!” the eleven voices chorused," when I went back to reread because I thought you were talking about fewer platforms than 11. Then I starting reading where I had left out and had my "Ohhhh." moment. It could just be my line of work because I am always checking the facts and numbers.
Other than that, I think that this is your strongest 13 in the series.

I'd read it just because I can relate to it. He sounds like a drill instructor only more polite. Where can I get the entire series so far? I'd actually like to see it in full.

"Rhinoplasty" is the first story in the series and is (fingers crossed) due out in flashscribe.net in March. They were going to publish it in February but basically told me that it is now March, but told the readers that a few series were in the works so I am excited to get a shot at it.
