Afternoon fella
Glad you're enjoying Dante's Fool. I had an awesome time writing that: it took me 2 years, August 1997 to September 1999.
Rollello Corp... actually, I was inspired by James Ellroy. I had just "discovered" Ellroy whilst writing Dante's Fool, and then saw LA CONFIDENTIAL.... I think it was the name Rollo Tomasi that stuck in my brain. Go figure.
Serious Crime Division isn't owned by UTOC, although certain parts of UTOC would have power of it, if it chose to.
WARNING: The UDP does not exist yet, not in the current timeframe of Dante's Fool. The UDP only came into existence after Yellow Dawn - which is still many years away.
I look forward to your TSC outline.... and to more feedback on Dante's Fool. It reawakens memories and moods when I hear people talking about it (all my stories in fact).
Peace
David

You just made me lol.
So, getting into Dante's Fool. I LOVE the fuckable anus chair - inspired mate and very 'lucid dream' that kind of odd shift in reality as the future slowly seeps into the now...
Rollello Corp is a great name - where'd you get that one?
Also is the SCD owed by the UDP or UTOC?
I love the bits of detail in this one, Cloud taking a sip out of his SCD branded coffee thermos for some reason had me laughing hard. God knows why, but it is the sort of thing someone would have ordered at the 'station.'
PARAGRAPH 4 page 60 should read, "Cloud liked laying his files out LIKE this."
Finally, having lots of fun thinking of how TSC fits into the picture - I'm onto to something nice I think and will outline it when it feels right.
Cheers.
Floyd.
