"You must remember that I have at my internal demand every expertise known to our history. This is the fund of energy I draw upon when I address the mentality of war. If you have not heard the moaning cries of the wounded and dying, you do not know about war. I have heard those cries in such numbers that they haunt me. I have cried out myself in the aftermath of battle. I have suffered wounds from fist and club and rock, from shell-studded limb and bronze sword, from the mace and the cannon, from arrows and lasguns and the silent working of slow poisons...and more I will not recount! I have seen and felt them all. To those who dare ask why I behave as I do, I say: With my memories, I can do nothing else. I am not a coward and once I was human."

(Frank Herbert, "God Emperor of Dune")



Modeled and rendered in Bryce. The ship was a web freebie, but I retextured and used it per the modeler's permission. People imported from Poser as pict-objects, to make it possible to render this scene in Bryce! All textures and materials and skies are generated by myself. Thanks for looking!
