The suit isn't what it appears to be, nor is the city. Nor is Gessler, for that matter. Whatever the truth is, when the tourists come to Titan City they want to see the tomorrows of yesterday *now*, dammit.
They come straight down from the Spinward Hilton, reeking of white wine and and an unsettling feeling that they missed something back on Earth. Gessler and the Metatronics Corporation are here to give to them. Gessler himself is as much showman as executive (maybe more). He always makes sure that nothing is quite so well planned out as that which appears spontaneous.
By the gods of all stars, it is Jean luc Picard!!! So that is how he gets around during rush hour in a steampunk city on Titan. Picard with a jet-pack...
Picard wouldn't seem quite so weak if he wasn't following Starfleet regulations- remember the version of him from the parallel universe where the Federation never made peace with Klingons? He didn't say, "we surrender" when the Klingons ordered him to lower shields and prepare to be boarded, he said "That'll be the day!!" and opted to fight until Enterprise was destroyed, blasting a Klingon cruiser to bits the process. I agree that those wool jumpsuits are awful, and the TNG phasers were terrible too- who wants to go into battle carrying a gun that looks like a woman's shaver?
I keep clicking between your WIP on this project and this one, and they are completely different! What happened in between must've really taken some work!
