Damn, those are big hands.

I hope I'm not the only one whose mind leapt to a bad place then, seeing how everything else had grown bigger...
But what to ask the general - maybe find out if anyone else had seen things like he did before or something?

Perhaps a bit exaggerated, but I wanted to make a point... He's frickin huge.
BTW... the bad place was mentioned just before said quote.

Nice chapter Rav, some good imagery in there too.
So, all is now large.
Two possible questions, the first one about the experience he had whilst on the operating theatre and the thing that attacked him come straight to mind. He should at least tell this to the general and ask what is going on there.
Second question came to me but I have forgotten it during the typing of the above. Ah, senility sets in...

Good chapter. Now we have a sister involved as well. Sneaky dragon! 
I like Chinaren's question. The only other I think would be of relevance right now, is what his first mission/overall mission-set be?
Now that he's fallen in line and done what the army wanted him to do, he's going to be anxious to know whether he'll be some sort of research freak or whether he'll be out there, getting some real action. After all, Kort ended up as a General's bodyguard. Not exactly a pinnacle of achievement for being genetically modified. Mack will want more. Much more

I read two more chapters. I'm currently at the story explaining about the Sumerians.
Well, it plays with an old idea, but it just doesn't make much sense. 3000 AD technology in hands of the Sumerians? They just don't seem capable, stolen or not.
Well, keep it up, anyway.

The General certainly made the chapter interesting, I must say. LOL.
F5 Shady. With what Mack has experienced now, how will that affect his surgery? I can't think of much else right now. Tired and sleepy.

Right, good chapter; I like the parallel sister story, and I want to see how the dragon can get at her.
| Quote: | WHAP! WHAP! WHAP!
Whap! Whap! Whap!
the General mounted Mack's chest like a jockey on a horse
deep-throated roar
"Damm yer a big boy Mack! |
Now, I know that I'm a dirty boy (), but DAMN Rav!
Now, I think that he should just ask if the General thinks that now he has increased size, would he need to eat lots more, and then maybe does he need to excersise more, and if so, do they have any equipment which will help him keep his weight down. Its a serious dilemma for all those super-girth heroes...

Exercise may do Mack some good. But I don't think it's Mack that is big-girthed fellow, well, when compared to the General.

Wonderful developments.
I suppose many questions are tumbling through his mind, and the ones already mentioned are among them. Foremost, standing there almost nude with his tummy grumbling, I think he'd be inclined to take care of the creature comforts first. He's then going to want to know what happened during the course of his procedure. Last he remembers, he was readied for bed and was attacked. Did that actually happen, or was it all part of a dream related to his procedure? Why didn't they wake him before the procedure if the imp attack had all been a dream? Is there any significance to the dragon?

Ask Sternheim about the dragon.

I didn't actually feel that we had anything to ask the General - more of Sydney. The General doesn't seem to know all that much to me, he just shouts at people to do their job and tries to interfere. As such, perhaps we should ask him about unimportant things, just so that we're not left with our mouth open.
As soon as possible though, we should corner Sydney (who I imagine will be quite jealous by this point) and ask him what the dragon and dream and demon are all about.

Thanks for the support y'all! Poll'l be up soon.
D, As the story goes, the Sumerians stole the technology from the 'Gods' who created humanity... though it might be more likely that it was 'sneaked' over to them from sources within the 'gods' ranks. They didn't know how to do all the things the LRP is doing with the Monotatomic Gold BUT they left strong hints about how to... modern science filled in the details.

To alleviate what?
Vellum. They actually write on vellum?
| Quote: | | WHAP!, came the sound of voltage being passed through Mack's chest. WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! |
Sorry! Physics major. It's current, not voltage.
| Quote: | | [...] a career that had often brought her wealth of money, but poverty of soul. |
By the way, I loved this line. 
I agree with the creature comforts idea, and he might take a little more time compiling a list of what he would ask while he ate. That way, he won't be so easily sidetracked if the general, for some reason, evaded any of his questions, right?

To alleviate the sweltering heat... I left it inferable I thought.

This was to denote the high quality of paper they use for such official letters. Probably not actually vellum but here I'm guilty of exaggeration yet again.

Sure... but voltage sounds cooler!
Thanks for the feedback and welcome aboard! Its wonderful to have another reader, and one who pulls no punches at that! I appreciate that. As for the DP, I assume most of you have one burning question you would want an answer to immediately. I don't figure he'll ask everything RIGHT NOW, but yes, mostly wait for conversation over breakfast(or is it dinner, or lunch?)

Sorry to double post but I wanted to address this comment separately. The hints were actually fairly cryptic. They would have been nearly indecipherable except that we had another, as yet unmentioned, source of information, which brought a lot of light to the subject.

Happy Writing Rav

How typical of me. I totally miss out the point that most of the information is hidden well into the story.

yeah... no end in sight for this one... but then, there's thousands of comics regarding spiderman right? I don't expect all new players to read every chapter, just the synopsis and the most recent should do to start.
Glad your enjoying it D!

But it's good to read all the chapters because you can catch little tid bits imbedded in the story, a synopsis may not say. That is my thinking.

| Sure... but when you get up over 20 chapters or so, there's no way you'd want to go through em all just to get to the latest decision point! After 50, after 100 etc...?
