#WordWeavers Aug 5: What emotions do you expect your readers to feel while reading your first chapter?

Curiosity and amusement. (That's the goal, anyway.)

An awesome FR0s7 design: a 2.72 km long interplanetary tug, powered by a 12 TW fusion drive, flanked by blade radiators shining at 2500K.
Isp reaches an incredible 468,000s, to push around 110,000 ton payloads between Mercury and Europa.

Said's pal Frayling says the 1899 "Garden of Torture" was the apotheosis of the western fantasy 'Oriental aesthetic of horror'- Chinese + other Easterners are master artists of pain, sculptors of flesh, look down on artless western bombers.

Reads exactly like Dark Elf / 40k Dark Eldar dialog hahah:
El Jardin De Los Suplicios, french torture novel set in China by O. Mirbeau Cover art shows an oriental warrior about to behead a kneeling man. Tall lith slant eyed figures stand with bizarre body modifications, extra spines framing their gaunt faces with leathery glistening masks. One floats in the foreground wielding an array of hooks and curved blades. A large flesh and mechanical torture machine floats in the background hazed by the yellowish atmosphere. Art by Adrian Smith Dark Eldar, Drukhari, Warhammer 40k And in a slower voice, with didactic gestures, he stated: “In torture, as in everything, the English are not artists; All the admirable qualities you wish, milady, but not that... no, no, no!” “Come now! they've made the whole world weep!” “Bad, milady... very bad,” corrected the executioner. “Art does not consist in killing multitudes... in slaughtering, massacring, and exterminating men in hordes. Really, it's too easy. Art, milady, consists in knowing how to kill, according to the rites of beauty, whose divine secret we Chinese alone possess. Know how to kill! Nothing is rarer, and everything depends on that. Know how to kill! That is to say, how to work the human body like a sculptor works his day or piece of ivory, and evoke the entire sum, every prodigy of suffering it conceals in the depths of its shadows and its mysteries. There! Science is required, variety, taste, imagination... genius, after all. But today, everything is disappearing. The Occidental snobbery which is invading us, the gunboats, rapid−fire guns, long−range rifles, explosives... what else? Everything which makes death collective, administrative and bureaucratic—all the filth of your progress, in fact—is destroying, little by little, our beautiful traditions of the past. It is only here, in this garden, that they are conserved as well as can be... where we try at least to maintain them as well as possible.
