TML message #883From bundle 82

Metlay isn't kidding when he says that a reaction type fusion drive
will make things "interesting".

A nice way to remove small annoyance is to do a "burn-off". Just come
in for a "touch and go *powered* landing. Tail first.

A classic example of doing this with a scout is given in Andre
Norton's "Soiux Spaceman".

BTW, anybody ever tried mixing Norton's stories with Traveller?
I suspect they'd fit rather well. And they'd be a great source of
plots for lazy refs. (especially since so many of them have the same
*starting* plot elements. Makes it hard for a player to figure out
which book you stole it from... :-)
