A Knights of the Old Republic fan fiction. In orbit over a backwater world named Taris, the Endar Spire, a Republic vessel, is being torn apart by the Sith battle fleet. Survivors flee in escape pods, crashing onto the cityscape that covers Taris. One such survivor is Seth Kast. A battle-hardened veteran who has been a soldier in service to the Republic for over a decade now, he finds himself in possibly the worst situation of his entire career: the Undercity of Taris. A sunless, forgotten place locked away beneath the surface of the cityscape, it is filled with suffering outcasts and exiles, ruthless gangs, and monstrous abominations called rakghouls. Working with a grim twi'lek bounty hunter, a stoic ithorian technician, and an awkward but skilled selkath medic, Seth must do whatever it takes to escape Taris, stay alive long enough to get back into the fight with the Sith, and help anyone he can along the way. But little does he know that the Jedi are about to ask him to engage in a dangerous mission that will take him across the galaxy, and Taris is just the beginning of a new chapter in his life...

MINDSLIP is the catastrophe which hits the Earth at 8.15am GMT next Wednesday morning. It began six hundred and fifty years earlier when Betelgeuse fulfilled its long-held prophecy to turn supernova. The radiation, gamma rays and gravitational waves hit the Earth at the same time as a coronal mass ejection. The combined bombardment causes all creatures on the Earth to swap minds, leaving people in animals, animals in people, men in women and children in adults. The nightmare which follows becomes a social and economic catastrophe. Geoffrey Arnold becomes a key figure in the government catastrophe committee, formed to resolve the myriad issues raised by MINDSLIP. Power generation, the health service, farming, pay, pensions, education, the banking system and asset ownership spiral into chaos. In addition, Geoffrey must save his wife from an imminent premature death brought on by one of the MINDSLIP effects. MINDSLIP is a realistic, frightening and sometimes amusing work of imagination which explores how people and families react to the world being changed beyond recognition. Note: MINDSLIP had been acquired by a publisher who, regrettably, has now folded. Rather than put the original version up on Wattpad, I have decided to give it a considerable edit. I'd love to know what you think. The early chapters might disturb, but hopefully they will also make you think about how you would deal with Geoff, Andrea, Angus, Caroline or Allan's situations. Use the comments to tell me what you would have done? (C) 2017 Tony Harmsworth - All Rights Reserved.

It is always very difficult to debunk conspiracy theories because the claims made by the conspiracists need no justification at all and are often based on an actual ignorance of the science. Debunking their claims requires an understanding of basic scientific procedure at the very least, the exact knowledge they lack, and this, in turn, causes an irrational refusal to believe what they are being told. Because of the Internet, they are often extremely well informed, but also completely wrong.
