"Spotlight: Boomslang"@en . "2030"^^ . "Spotlight: Boomslang is a grim third-world setting with no clear good guys and no easy resolutions. On a battlefield very close to home yet more foreign than most of the alien planets we usually visit in 2k5's plotlines, violence begets violence, desperation and bigotry are the watchword for most of the population, no one is trusted and diplomacy is likely to fall on deaf ears. Villainy comes naturally in such a place and mercy is thin on the ground. But no one said being a hero would be easy. This story is not for everyone. It is as much about the politics of fear and cynical exploitation of long-standing vendettas by third parties with their own axes of various kinds to grind, as it is about giant robots fighting. The choices made in it have realistic consequences and often there is no perfect answer to the questions raised. Consequently most of the events in it will not be scheduled MUSH-wide events as it is not a story well-suited to big unwieldy scenes."@en . "Spotlight: Boomslang"@en . "Various"@en .
