Item: Wotopa
First Mention: The yet to be released 2nd Renegade Tale
First Appearance: Same as above
Description: Common game in bars, similar to earth pool but with spring loaded tubes moving colored balls on an octagon shaped table with pockets in the corners.
Writing Orgin: Needed a game to be played in a bar. The name, came from a combination of two names Wolverine and Topa (I had just finished watching a Season 3 Episode of the Orville.)

Poetry
We woke on a world far from home
On a planet that was not our own
We got guns and ships and knowledge to
But of The Outfitters hardly a clue
Some thought it Heaven
Some thought it Hell
Some had depression
Others aggression
Some went renegade
and ran from the fight
But most manned the barricades and did what was right
Now we stand against the Blue Skins
Drinking our gin
racking up sins
waiting to feel the warm winds of home again
So far from our globe
we hope to die on Gia’s stones and be covered in a sod robe.
But if we die in the deep darkness of space our body lost without a trace
Write our names on a stone
facing it east
so we can find some measure of peace

Brett and his friend Tim.Writing Lessons #1
When writing a story with a lot of named characters do not give secondary characters similar names. The Rangers on The Arrogant Lion are named Fenuchi and Fundowkoski. (Holiday and Verde as well, but they are easier to differentiate.)
The Engineering Tech is named Flavius.
This has lead to some confusion on my part and I am sure I have used Flavius and Fenuchi somewhat interchangeably even though Flavius is clearly the Engineer and Fenuchi has the additional task of being the ship’s medic.
Sorry for any confusion when reading the book.
