A&E Presents: Biography: The First Lady of Fanatica.
Much is known of the life of President Kev and the Inner Circle of advisors. Behind this dynamic president was a woman who is known as the First Lady of Fanatica.
First Lady Kathryn, with her long, blonde locks and intelligent blue eyes, observed all that went on during the terms of her husband. She was an integral part in the effort to bring women the vote in Fanatica, and in 1842 was striving to use the modern technologies offered to help explore the vast space beyond our world.
Through the many letters to her sister Elizabeth in Viroconium, her mother in St. Leowind, and brothers John and Michael in Dover and Beijing respectively, we can follow a portion of the life this one extraordinary woman led.
Dear Elizabeth,
My husband is worried indeed. He has sent an agent to look into the city of Nishapur, and he his worried that she may be compromised. A nearby fort was empty near the city, and he moved the agent there in hopes that defense will be increased. He also sent a cavalry unit to the fort for additional defense. Will the peace with the odious Mongols hold?
It would seem that our economy is once again booming, and my husband has set about to help build items across the land. There are so many cities now, Lizzie, that Kev would spend all he could to help each one if he could. Yet, he must save some for eventualities. Some money has come in as a gold shipment has reached Samarkand safely and earned our nation 240 gold.
This war has been difficult on us all, and the Romans, I hear, are moving about the seas again near your home city. Fear not, sister, as Kev has dispatched the mighty Dell to make its presence known in those waters. In English waters, I hear that we have found the city of Richmond near Birmingham. Those two English cities will have to be dealt with, but they seem to be quite isolated for now. However, English cruisers have been seen outside of Cambridge. I fear for John. I understand that he is part of a group planting forests near Dover, I am sure that will be very nice.
Dont know if youve heard, but my dear husband has named a new city after our little daughter. Yes, the Isle of Shannon was recently built and is bound to be a jewel in the Mongol sea.
Those Mongols led by that smelly Genghis met with the Inner Circle. There was a lot of screaming behind the door, and Genghis came out a bit bruised. He told his retinue that he fell down. I think they asked the Circle to move the cavalry out of the fort near Nishapur, which is fine as now the agent will live on.
But all is not well elsewhere. The English have moved a cannon outside of Leeds and the dastardly Romans have landed TWO cavalry units next to Dellville. I hope the UFS Dell can get there in time to help.
Miss you all. Love to Megan and Tyler. I guess to that overly overbearing husband as well. I hope you do decide to leave him soon, but well hopefully speak when phones are invented.
Kathryn.

Dear Michael:
I hope all is well in the theatre where you are. I long to see a Bejing performance, but for now I know that all efforts in Triton are going toward mechanical war machines.
So much building has been done throughout the land thanks to some money behind some projects. I know that many cities in Triton where you are benefited as well. I know that Marl Downs build an aqueduct and started a library, Mpondo built a sewer system and started an offshore platform and Sixchan built a sewer system and started a factory. On the Mongol continent, Kashgar built an aqueduct and started a harbor. There have been some mechanical beasts of war built here as well I know that you are building them in Triton as well. Im willing to bet that Kev puts some money into these very soon. I know your neighbors in Nanking built an aqueduct and started engineers and Canton finally finished that factory and started on a much needed sewer system.
There is a new library in Fort Pornstar that I hope to visit, and the mass transit going up there will help in that effort greatly.
I am greatly worried about world events. The English and the Romans have agreed to withdraw their troops, but there is much going on near Leeds and a cavalry remains near Dellville close to an engineering corps trying desperately to remove the swamp in Dellvilles radius. The good news is that our own cavalry and agents were able to return to Karakorum unharmed I just know that that Genghis character is going to attack soon though.
Remember not long ago when the city of Addicta went up? Well, it has a new neighbor in Port Sid. That should be lovely city, though rather cold I suspect in those northern reaches.
Ill write more soon.
Well, Ive returned, and the news is not good. The Mongols have dealt Karakorum a sneak attack and crushed an alpine troop regiment AND a cavalry regiment as well with a SINGLE cavalry of their own. I know Kev will exact his revenge, but that cavalry unit was a veteran of many wars and I am sad for the families that lost loved ones.
So many Roman ships around Dellville and the Virocounium Island. I do hope that Elizabeth is well.
Hope that you have found someone to date up there in Beijing. Also hope you can get to Olympia soon. I hear that soon there may be transports that fly. That would help our visiting greatly.
Be well, brother.
Kathryn.

Dear John:
How are things with you in Dover? So much is happening in the world these days that poor Kev and his Inner Circle have been run ragged. Hardly a chance to have a kegger at all.
So much building in the world. I was just writing of things to Elizabeth and Michael. Now there are even newer things. The new city of Addicta trained engineers and started on a harbor. The quaint town of St. Leowing built a beautiful temple and started a harbor as well. Thunder falls built a market and started an offshore platform, Dellville completed an offshore platform and started a sewer system, and Shanghai built a barracks and has now started deadly machines of war known as howitzers. I hope you can some and see us here in Olympia soon. My work on SETI continues quite well for now, and Id love to show you the new stock market in The Hold Duck Pond, too. They have stopped celebrating up there, but theyll likely start again soon and Im sure theyll love their new supermarket as well.
Im sure you know by now the evil that the Mongols have wrought. Kev has the UFS Marlbrough bombing Kabul and has done great harm to the military inhabitants there. There is still more to do, however. Our remaining cavalry fights on in Karakorum, crushing a cavalry left there from the sneak attack. Howitzers are being made in some former Mongol cities, and they could be the difference with the well defended Mongol capital. There was bad news as well, as we lost TWO more veteran cavalry to marines and cavalry from the Mongols. We need to strike soon, and I hope that we do.
Kev is delighted, though a bit scared, with the discovery of Atomic Theory. He says it could lead to mass destruction on a global scale, so he has his scientists treading lightly. He set them to study fission, but Im more concerned with the implications of fusion that I hope we study some day as well. I believe that that technology will help us colonize other STAR SYSTEMS. I know you think me crazy, but I still think it can be done in our lifetimes.
A small village near the infant town of Port Sid produced a fine group of riflemen who decided to join Fanatica. That makes me happy.
There is a lot of naval movement in the world according to Kev. Romans and now Zulus tread through the waters in greater numbers. We have discovered the Roman city of Byzantium as well all alone on an island. I wonder if they would consider becoming one with Fanatica
Well, I must go now. Say hello to your wife and five children for me.
Love always,
Kathryn
1848
Dear Mom,
I miss you very much. Things in Olympia are very busy indeed, and there is a pall over the newly-updated throne room with the casualties being taken in the wars.
But there is much being built as well. Brighton has started a library after agent 009 was trained. Aleppo built a harbor and is now building a war machine.
Our navy is finally beginning to pay some dividends. The Marlbrough has bombed Kabul into submission, and a transport with our last of the veteran cavalry reached the city and took it for Fanatica. It only paid us 250 gold, but we got a marketplace and peace from Genghis. I thought I heard barking when he visited the Inner Circle, but I could have been wrong. We are still building machines of war in Mongol territory, however, and we will be prepared to take the capital city soon, I feel.
The SETI program is going well. I hope that we are able to finish in about 10 years or so. A lofty goal, but reachable I feel.
Hope that you and dad remain well there in St. Leowind.
All my best,
Kathryn
