Tristan Roberts was the hottest director in the holo-vid industry known for his bionetic holo-vid productions. Not much more than a brash young kid, his great works were perhaps the Wing Commander holo-vid series which let people experience the Kilrathi Wars as a pilot on board the TCS Tiger's Claw, and in the sequel on board the TCS Concordia. He hired Carl T. LaFong (age 71) in the late 2690s as a consultant. He didn't just want the numbers, times, and dates correct; but he needed someone who could help him get the feelings, emotions and relationships on target as well.
