If chapter 100 is released to patreon on the fourth then Tefler, who in the past has waited ten days to two weeks to release it to Literotica for moderation, it is going to be a long wait. Due to the size of chapter 100 I expect it will take longer than normal and be in queue for at least a week. Unfortunately that means we will get to read it at the end of the month. Tefler will do what he wants though and may release it to Literotica earlier than expected. At least I hope so.
I know it is going to be a long wait for chapter 100. These are my top favourite authors, I think you will like it.
1. Tefler ( we all know)
2.IncomingPornDuck
3.bob54z
4.PureEvil88
These authors have a thing in common, that is all their hero's are badass character.
Three square meals is my first sapce saga.
These other authors have saga related to demons, angles and god's.
I am extremely excited for chapter 100.
Tefler please hurry!!!
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
I'm going to start from chapter one today as I'm getting to anxious to wait any longer for chapter 100, just shows how addicted we are to TSM and there's really nothing else out there as good as TSM. this will also give me a chance to vote for each chapter all over again, I know I can just go back and vote for them all anyway but I need to stay busy while we wait.
How many will join me in rereading TSM from the beginning and vote for them all????
TK
I have such a hard time finding another story to read, Tefler you spoiled me rotten with ur crystal clear depictions and real time story flow. There is just no story to compete with or be as pleasurable read as TSM. Cant wait for the TV series to come out next year...
Compliments. Whizzrex
/sigh
The moderators should just skim the story a bit faster... /eyeroll
Cant get enough of T S M need something to read while you wait try ..to find ,,,IN HER NAME .. BY MICHAEL R .HICKS . I have read over 60 story,s and its only one . close too keep me hooked...BUT THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE,,,,THAT MOVE MY HEART AND SOLE ..THREE SQUARE MEALS ,TEFLER DONT STOP ,,SI/FI DAVE ,,OVER & OUT....
For those of you who have missed it, part 3 of Chapter 100 will be released on Patreon on March 5th. Now if any of you are really anxious and want to read the first two parts of chapter 100, you can join Patreon for just $1 for every chapter released after you join and still get access to all previously released chapters. Otherwise, you'll be suffering in your addiction alone until at least March 20 waiting for Chapter 100. Hope to see you there soon.
The Brimorians are obsessed with people/beings who are half-breeds.
This showed up in 2 places where insults were hurled and in both cases the target was accused of being a half-breed.
I predict the the forgotten are half Brimorian and half human. Or 3/4 Brimorian.
They look a lot like humans with hair and all. They can breath under water (they must have gills) and the old language is Terran Standard. Languages change over a few hundred years so they can't be from thousands of years ago. They were left behind in the recent war.
Hi, don't want to start a war, but as someone who read the recommended by sifidave series, I suggest avoiding "In Her Name". It's basically the first Mass Effect Trilogy - basically good for 90%, but (subjectively) terrible ending. These books angered me so much I've typed out this entire list to help you avoid my mistake. If you want great (again, subjectively) sci-fi recommendations while TSM is being written, here's a short list:
Michael-Scott Earle - has a bunch of really great stuff, but the "Star Justice" is probably the closest to TSM in nature. If you like dark fantasy, check out "The Destroyer" series. The author recently got into the LitRPG genre and has written some good stuff in that. "Space Knight" and "Lion's Quest" are pretty darn good, as well as "Death Ship" (a little rough for now) and "Dragon Slayer", the last two which appear to be harem based.
E. William Brown - the "Daniel Black" series is fantasy, but also harem based. Excellently written and great read. For sci-fi, check out his "Alice Long" series, it's also pretty great, although he's only written one book so far in it.
Elliott Kay - this author started on Literotica with his fantasy "Good Intentions" series (harem-style), which is very good and he also has a great sci-fi series called "Poor Man's Fight". Have a read.
J.A. Cipriano - "The Legendary Builder" is a harem-style fantasy series that is a lot of fun and similar in tone to TSM, although it is written in the LitRPG style. "Kingdom of Heaven", "King of the Gods", and the "World Of Ruul" series is also worth a read. He also has a bunch of co-author credits, the best of which so far is the "Her Angels" series written with Erin Bedford - a reverse-harm book which was really fun.
Jan Stryvant - basically anything by this guy. He has a one-shot book called "Shadow" that's based on a super-hero filled world but his more famous and great flagship is called the "Valen's Legacy". An urban fantasy harem series definitely worth reading.
Morgan Blayde - The "Demon Lord" series is a really damn good urban fantasy series with a harem. I'll admit my personal politics make the main character feel abrasive at times, but still worth it.
Not harem, but still worth reading:
Fel - unfortunately only one of two free authors on this list, this author is incredible. Just about everything he writes is amazing. Highly, highly recommend checking out his sci-fi "Subjugation" series and his fantasy "Sennadar" series. On a personal note, the "In Her Name" books only wished they were as good as "Subjugation".
Mike C. Cropo - "A Spartan's War" one of the most epic series I've read (and the other free series), it's unfortunately looking like it will remain unfinished due to the author recently passing away. A little rough, but very engaging.
Jim Butcher - "The Dresden Files". A wonderful urban fantasy book series - highly recommended.
S. H. Jucha - "The Silver Ships" series, if you like stuff like Star Trek, then this series is excellent.
John Conroe - similar in tone to TSM, although not a harem-style, the "Demon Accords" urban fantasy series is some of the best fantasy stuff I've read. Highly recommended.
Ken Lange - you should check out his book series. The "Vigiles Urbani Chronicles" and "Warden Global" are great and interesting urban fantasy reads.
Ben S. Reeder - "The Demon's Apprentice" urban fantasy series is probably some of the best Young Adult stuff I've read in a long time. Really well written and worth your time.
Andrew S. Ball - "The Contractors", a great series start, but unfortunately only one book with an unknown sequel years in the works. Still worth a read.
Darian Smith - "Agents Of Kalanon" - a good fantasy series worth checking out.
Elliott J. Saul - "Pax Arcana", fantastic fantasy series, similar in tone to the "Dresden Files". Definitely check it out.
Glynn Stewart - a really good author, most of his stuff is worth reading. I find his style a little off sometimes, but that might be a personal problem. His flagship series, the "Starship Mage" is probably his best, but there are some gems here as well like the "Duchy of Terra". "Onset" just finished and while I think the ending was a little weak, overall really good.
Leod D. Fitz - the "Corpse Eater Saga" - usually not my cup of tea, this horror based series is really good too.
Jason Rose - a new author, but his first book is pretty good. The "Arcane Justice" series is a good read.
S. K. Dunstall - The "Linesman" this sister co-authors series is some great sci-fi.
Shemer Kuznits - "New Era Online" - another LitRPG series, but the first book was really interesting and worth reading.
It's not a crime to want to earn a bit of money for all the hard work that you put in to writing a story. I'm a bit of a stickler for fair behaviour about that sort of thing, and a delay before we get to read it is nothing bad at all. It only hurts for this chapter because this huge chapter took a long time, so we're all impatient to read it. Soon enough we'll get our fix.
Tefler, I hope you remember about this site's delays in posting, so hand them the chapter a bit before the 20th? Please?
And please, never hide the ending of a story behind a pay wall. Authors who do that (at least without announcing such when they start the story) deserve all the hate in the world and their karma will surely torture them forever. :P Delays are fine though.
It seems that the earliest chapter 100 will be sent for moderation is late March. Look for an early April release for us to be able to read it here.
Hey i want to say that i really love your books. I'm gonna try to keep a bit of money on the side so i can donate something on your patreon.
For all the other fans is there some other books (doesn't have to be erotic) if this same genre?
I will borrow the words from Jedi Khan...just cannot do better at the moment as the adrenalyn is still pumping.
https://youtu.be/TiWg7L0NJYU
100k words or 30 Literotica pages of awesome. Itβs taken Tefler a month to complete but worth every day.
Congratulations Tefler.
If you have a weak heart, do not read Chapter 100 when it comes out. The prolonged adrenalin rush could cause you to have a heart attack or stroke.
Now that the last part of chapter 100 is done, I'll be doing some editing for the next few days. I'll post a comment when I submit the chapter for moderation. :-)
Tefler
wonderful news thanks to you Tefler. Congratulations on the completion of chapter 100 and the continued patronage of nearly 1800 patreons and almost 3200 per chapter. we hope you will post chapter 100 before embarking on ebook3 which you have stalled for this epic chapter. hope you continue to achieve far more accolades and success wish you all the best
pradz
So is there any word on when vol 3 of the ebook will be on sale on amazon?
And its certainly worth the wait!
With the help of Discord Ive put up some Q&A sessions with Tefler and his fans. Hope you all enjoy while you wait just a biiiiit longer!
http://three-square-meals.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Tefler_Q%26A
Tefler makes a comment in that Discord Q&A about finding the right hot redhead pic as a stand-in for Dana and that it is challenging. I think folks should take a look at Leanna Decker -- so I have been told of course ;-)
Honestly i would suggest keeping an eye on the cosplay thread on lit bulletin boards. Because when i think of a hot redhead i would look for a good black widow cosplay pic.
Please submit the chapter already...it's bad enough that people are dropping vague hints about how awesome it is!
I'm still editing the final third of the chapter and just did some rewrites to one of the big fights at the end. I'll probably be done with editing in a few days time, then I'll publish the chapter as a whole.
Tefler
laugh. To those waiting, remember you can always spend a dollar and go read it. If someone is in a country that doesn't have Patreon access, just let me know.
thanks for the status update Tefler, from what we are hearing from patreon and discord chapter 100 is already epic, we are keeping our fingers crossed for an early release. Wish you all the best may your success at patreon and your efforts at ebook continue to garner more strength.
pradz
That chapter 100 is up on patreon so I'm curious about when Tefler post about rewrites. Is the finished story posted here different from what is released on patreon? It seems that a lot of patreon readers also read or at least post here in the comment section. Any patrons that care to comment I'm just curious what the differences are. Thanks Tefler, mikecfl.
"Is the finished story posted here different from what is released on patreon? "
As soon as I finish writing a chapter, I post it on Patreon. I then spend a few days editing the chapter, fixing spelling mistakes or continuity errors, or adding scenes that my editors or patrons suggest.
I broke chapter 100 up into three parts (It's just over 90k words). For the second part I added several scenes showing Melkadian's reactions to events in the battle. For the third part, I rewrote a fight scene and tweaked several more based on feedback I'd received.
Once I'm happy with the chapter, I then post it to literotica. So yes, the finished version is sometimes different from the one straight off my keyboard. How much it changes depends on editor and patron feedback. :-)
Tefler
Is the novel available on amazon kindle the same?
Is it the complete story?
Is it same or has it been edited / shortened / changed?
No the Amazon books are longer and better than the Lit chapters.
lmagine chapters 1-10 brought together with a focus on polishing the grammar and word choice, tightening sub-plots and introducing new scenes and dialogue that add to the interest.
You would appreciate the difference.
Here's something that confuses me: If I were to become a patron, which version of the story would I see? The literotica version, or the updated Amazon version? Does Tefler reupload the new versions to Patreon, or do the patrons have to buy the Amaxon versions as well? Because I can't buy the books on Amazon with my account for some reason. They're just listed as unavailable for purchase, which I suspect is because I originally made an Amazon US account, but when Amazon opened their Kindle section in my country, the account somehow got migrated, and now Amazon US recognizes my account but doesn't let me buy anything.... So I need to know this.
I bought the first Amazon book. I have read the story twice on Lit. I am not on Patreon. I've not compared the book page-by-page. Nor did I read Lit and the book back-to-back. So, here are my general impressions. As far as I know the book versions are not on Patreon.
As others have said, the first difference was just cleaning up the writing. This is everything from typos to wording. The second change was to improve and expand descriptions of some things. I believe that Karon (the mining asteroid where Alyssa is from) is described in more detail for example. Finally, I believe there small insertions of a few paragraphs and the like just adding a bit more colour to the story. So, a character we learn a lot more about later might get a brief introduction before meeting the main characters when the time comes down the road.
I don't think there were any plot sections added. If there were, they didn't stand out.
So, get the books (or at least the first book) if you want something that has cleaner writing, better descriptions and other small touches, if you want an easier way to read the story , or if you want to support Tefler. Unless someone corrects me, if you don't get the books, you won't miss any new significant plot points.
If you want a book. You can find me on gmail at 'charitytreks'. I will buy it for you and I will add your Kindle or KindleforPC(Mac) as a device in my account. I offered to do the same for those without access to Patreon.
First, the wait is long this time because the upcoming chapter is 30 Literotica pages long. Tefler wanted to do something special for Chapter 100, but more importantly, he didn't want to split up the upcoming battle in the middle of the fighting.
Secondly, authors don't owe us anything -- especially authors of free content. If George R.R. Martin never finishes his Game of Thrones series (and that's a very real possibility) fans will be disappointed, but there was a never a guarantee on the dust jacket of the first book that he would do so. If people want to ensure they get finished stories, they need to read finished stories.
Thirdly, the Patreon patrons are big fans and excited. Most of them that come here are excited for us to get to read the next chapters. However, The chapters come out here at the exact same pace at they do there. Otherwise, they would be up to chapter 130 or something by now. We have read 99 chapters here and they have read 100 chapters. I am not a Patreon subscriber, but I want to see Tefler do well financially with his writing. It gives him even more incentive than he already has to keep doing it. (Although he was already one of those most prolific writers on here or anywhere else that you are going to find. At two million words and counting, this story is already 20 novels in length.) He resisted going on Patreon, but his fans pushed him to do it. His fans were also eager for the story in book form. He is simply responding to them. He has had people tell him he should give all his attention to Patreon, but he is loyal to his fans here. (Plus, it's a way to reach a broader audience.) So yeah, sometimes the Patreon fans can be a little unintentionally insensitive, but they are just fans and this is the internet. It happens. As I have said before, go read Star Wars or Star Trek forums and you will see what I mean.
Finally, and most importantly -- Really? You obviously have enjoyed the story if you are 99 chapters in, and you are bitching in comments of almost all fans. If you are 12 years old - fine. If not, try a little maturity -- it goes a long way.
I am trying to wait for the next chapter..., not working so well. I went back a few chapters to keep myself In the groove. Thanks Tefler for a great story. JT
Most other authors churn out a book in a series about 1 a year. Be happy Tefler churns then out at roughly 1 book every 2 to 3 months. Iβm amazed he puts them out so quickly while keeping the quality the same or better. Plus heβs doing this for free here.
Thanks to the Patreon supporter that are funding Teflerβs full time writing. Iβll have to buy the Amazon books to help support this author. Itβs a serial story that I donβt want to end.
Mike
Tefler for your response to my questions about what you call rewrites. Thank you mikecfl.
If I remember correctly, there was some speculation that the ancient electronic being in the Brimorianβs computer system that Irillith hacked might be from the Vulkat. But while re-reading that chapter I noticed that the entity had six limbs, while the Vulkat are eight legged, so I doubt itβs of Vulkat origin.
I backed up about 40 chapters and read them again, but now Iβve caught back up and Iβm dying of anticipation. Maybe I should take up needlepoint while Iβm waiting?
Thanks TEF! Thanks for sucking me into Johnβs universe and never wanting it to end!
HillCountryCowboy
It be
patreon test site/edit system
Lit 2nd test site/edit system as this site will have diff poeple as well as patreon peeps so more edit ideas
amazon final item site with all edits with a few added items to it
With the technological gap between our heroes and the BSP there's one other point i forgot to make. If the BSP forces manage to board invictus with boarding troops it would be extraordinarily bad. Because you have to remember they're a handfull of people on what is let's call it a "light aircraft carrier" with the ship weapons of a "dreadnaught" My basic point is they're under crewed relying solely on their technological advantages.
Now i know what people are going to say they have those enshuu sound cannons mounted in the ceiling and those armored firing stations that fold out from the floor. While they do provide advantages they'll only work for so long. What i mean by this is once the boarding troops put together there are cannons along the ceiling they will start being ready for them and blast them the moment they pop out.
With the armored firing stations i picture they have, something like that would highly depend on controlling when the firing stations flip up and fold back in the floor. The basic problem is if the boarding troops manage to break through the computer defenses their advantage becomes the enemy's advantage.
Alright i finally managed to get through no 99
I was the one who first asked those 3 questions regarding the books available on amazon
Previously i was at 95 when i commented and i had a hunch this story is incomplete
Tefler firstly i am eagerly waiting for no 100
Also if the novels have the complete story i am ready to purchase them if i can from india where it isn't available well the total costs $8 which equals to βΉ560 i am ready to pay $16=βΉ1120 for them but only if these assumptions are all true
1)novels have the complete storyline
2) the hit this site last after going through patroen although i don't have any idea what patreon is
3) since they hit here last they have been refined to the max writing ability so they have the finesse of the best this story can be
Unless someone can give me a convincing explanation of why i shouldn't i am ready to buy the novels at the maximum price i stated and of course keep in mind that i need it in india (if someone offers for the delivery)
Lastly i have seen so many incomplete stories on this site that i read the ending first to make sure that its a complete story better than being disheartened with an incomplete one (by the way finest work ever seen on this site by me)
P. S. Tefler i must warn you i deliver very potent curses and i curse you that if you leave this story incomplete than you shall never get the true potential of the promise this story holds for you as an author and this story itself.
All said if anyone wishes to get in touch regarding the novels on amazon :- Elonpaul9@gmail.com
All three parts of π― are up on patron ( yes it was broken into three parts for patron) final edits are being done now don't quote me but it should be here in a week or so as one chapter
So this epic of a story is currently being posted in 4 locations, and the content (at least to some extent) differ in 3 of them. As it has been explained previously by Tefler and others, chapters are first posted on Patreon (paid subscription site, think where patrons can pay as little as $1 per chapter) hot off the keyboard. Next, after it is edited to Tefler's liking it is the posted here and SOL for free. The version you see on Amazon are compilations of previous chapters posted here that have gone through further editing before being published. I believe the first book is chapter 1-10 and book 2 is 11-20. Tefler mentioned he is currently working on editing book 3 for Amazon as well.
So essentially what you see on Patreon is not what you see here on Lit, you can think of it as an incomplete or draft of what gets submitted here.
Its consists of three parts ,that's why it took so long,I was worried that he wasn't gonna post them on literotica.Keep up the amazing work tefler ,I really love this story,don't ever stop writing.......πππππ
Tefler does post a final edited copy on Pat before submitting it here. The ones on Amazon are like you said, compilations but they do sometimes have additional content, and editing to increase the flow of the story. Yeah I've been reading on all three sites.
Patreon has the message that Tefler has released chapter 100 there for the paying users.
That means that in about 10 days this chapter will be submitted to this site, where the moderators will take over the story. So maybe a before we are able to read this epic chapter.
Thanks in advance and congratulations with the release of this chapter Tefler. I hope there will come a number of chapters after this milestone...
I am not sure if this news is correct but i signed for patreon sorry couldn't pay for it i just can't afford as much at the moment and since the most refined version comes here so why
Anyways back to the point i saw the title 100 (complete) and i just assumed it to be the final edited copy hiding_in_portland talked about so looks like he has either already submitted to the moderators or is going to in a couple of days so whatever the case is hopefully it should be out really soon
I am just checking every day to see if the 100th chapter has come out or not. I have become a total addict of tsm.
Wow...chill. The chapter will be up when it's up. Sometimes it's faster or slower on here than other times.
We are all patiently waiting for the next chapter to come out. I have been here since the beginning but now I will not be able to read for a while because I leave at the end of March for US Air Force basic training. Please try to give the mods enough time so I can read it before basic.
Thanks a million
Stephenvista
its been a month since last dose of tsm. Eagerly waiting for the new shot and epic battle.
Another surprise, shychiwriter is reposting his stories.
Marvellous march
I hope your Air Force training in San Antonio goes well! Thank you and God bless you for your service! Welcome to Texas!
HillCountryCowboy
Seriously Tef, this is incredible. I remember when this was little more than a run of the mill sci fi story with an oversized cock and a captive 18 year old. Now you've managed to construct a true Epic, complete with politics and scandals all around. I eagerly await the next chapter. The only issue? I'm conflicted. Part of me wants to know how this story ends but part of me never wants it to
You have created a wonderful world for those of us who are Sci-fi junkies from grade school and really appreciate adult Sci-fi!!! Best since Heinlein!!! Really looking forward to next chapter. Hope it is coming soon!
Any update on ch100 tefler ??????
It's been quiet some time
I hope you submit it soon
I've finally finished editing and submitted chapter 100 for moderation. It's 28 pages, so hopefully it should be an entertaining read. :-)
I've been working on eBook 3, and I'll make a start on chapter 101 tomorrow.
Tefler
we have already heard that it is epic and we are very eagerly waiting for it.
Wish you all the best for ebook3 and chapter 101
pradz
Good news: Chapter 100 is in moderation!
Bad news: Now I start compulsively checking every 15 minutes to see if itβs posted yet!
Thanks Tef!!
HillCountryCowboy
Excited to see ch 100 up for moderation. Hopefully it will be up by the weekend.
I have been reading TSM for 6 months now, and am posting for the first time to say a massive thanks to Tefler for giving us a rollercoaster of a story that has kept us enthralled for so long.
I just want to add that I am boggeled by some of the negative comments posted. Is the story "perfect", maybe not, but to have written such an epic space opera and allowed us to enjoy it for free, well, I have to take my hat off to you.
You have inspired me to take the plunge and try and write something myself. You never know, you my see me post here on Literotica in the near future !
Fred
Being a total addict i ended up reading whole series again from chapter 1 while waiting for 100. Finally its here :)
i am dying to see Helene as part of crew , Kintark annihilation in war for Terra and last but not the least total destruction of every fiber of Fleet Admiral's being >:)
Thank you Tefler....now I've got to keep checking the site.
I'm so excited!!!
There have been some questions upstream about how the Amazon versions of the story differ from the posts here (and Patreon and SOL since the 3 are basically the same). The first 10 chapters were just over 77k words while the Amazon version is just over 86k and chapters 11-20 here are a little under 107k while the Amazon ones are just under 120k.
For comparison ch99 is just over 31k and ch100 just over 93k.
Chapter 100 was submitted to the mods over 24 hours ago, and it's still not up. The mods really need to sort their priorities.
You do not need to read chapter 100 if you have heart problems. The adrenalin rush will blow your bp straight to hell.
Anyone else sick of people commenting about stories before they are published? Post that nonsense on whatever private board you want but expressing how great something is when it isn't publicly available is a spoiler.
Just missed my predicted date. Could it mean things won't go my way? Got to work soon, hopefully read this during weekend. 300 Comments within reach?
Easy-nuh-man
You said: "Anyone else sick of people commenting about stories before they are published? Post that nonsense on whatever private board you want but expressing how great something is when it isn't publicly available is a spoiler."
It is most definitely NOT a spoiler. I didn't tell you anything about what occurs in the chapter.
Finally: you need to chill. This is a free board....meaning you don't pay for squat. Enjoy your free ride and appreciate what Tefler does for you. AND be thankful he still is willing to GIVE you the fruits of his hard work. What you did is more akin to somone hitch hicking and then complaining that the apolstery is not leather.
Tefler, just have to say thank you for the pure enjoyment of reading this magnificent and totally absorbing epic. Never imagined when started reading the first chapter of a story titled "TSM" that I would still be reading at 99 chapters and become so addicted to its characters and their world. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. Go Invictus. π
What can one say that has not been said before?
This is a wonderful tale.
Thanks Tefler.
I commend you for how well you wrote the spider queen. Brought tears to my eyes. Just wanted to mention that , because I know most people would have gotten distracted by the rest of the story by the time the chapter ended and forgotten about her.
Tefler, I wanted to say thank you again for this great story. Hard to believe I'm about to start chapter 100. Bravo for your great writing skills....Best tome I've read in a long time & trust me I read a great deal.
tony
I have been noticing that Tefler often gives his stories some very specific tags, no doubt with a wink and a nod. This one, for instance has the ever-popular Zombie Cyborg Spiders tag!
Queen Nkkrrit was a little sad. The build up before was awesome
The Brimorian's surprise might be a little deadly for the Brimorian's
Going to echo some of the comments on the Zombie Spider Queen. I was kinda hoping she'd be cool and not icky and was sooo happy when it turned out to be the case, although I wish there had been a way for her to find redemption....maybe in a future chapter?
Success is a sweet taste π
Deep Lord is rather shallow. Betray John not once but twice. No, no, can't work (wags finger)
Wow! Improved energy weapons and shields, Mermaids and Huge Zombie Cyborg Spiders! And the darn ole Kintark are attacking, again! There was so much in this chapter, and it is primarily the set up chapter for the big space battle to come,.. so much fun to read! ;-) TTFN
So sad for the Vulkat, John needs to give one of the girls time travel, so they can do a Star Trek IV and go back in time and bring some back to repopulate the species. Grrrgge and Grrrccee.
The spider part made me have tears.
Still wonder if they need to process that fuel or just use it directly?
The Vulkat situation was truly sad. I can understand Nikirrit's conflict between a painless end and healing. Even though this is my second time reading, it was very moving. SMH, the bots must have not cleaned the room in a while, it's dusty ;)
The emotional swell and transition from something so grotesque and ubiquitously disturbing into a heartbreaking tragedy...approaching the 100th chapter I'm blown away at your writing talent. Thanks for such a complex storyline that is so much more than the reason it's on this website. This must take up so much of your energy and time but I don't think I've ever been as engaged in a sci-fi story as this one. Looking forward to the next hundred!
Wow! Improved energy weapons and shields, Mermaids and Huge Zombie Cyborg Spiders! (So Sad) And the darn ole Kintark are attacking the Terra-Federation, again! Time crunch, with Invictus blasting its way back into Terran space. There was so much in this chapter, and this chapter #99 is primarily the set-up chapter for the big space battle to come, in chapter #100! (Yay! Milestone!),.. so much fun to read! Except for the sad Zombie Giant Spiders (still Yuck) ;-) TTFN
a complex storyline leading up to chapter #100 (milestone) and a major conflict, space battle, that will be so much fun to read, ... the Vulkat (giant Zombie Cyborg Spiders) were sad, but a delight for the crew (after her bad feelings broadcast was ceased), also, the Spider Queens gifts of all the Vulkat technology and the Eternity Crystals was just amazing, ... a really good chapter, thank you, ... ;-) TTFN
βββββ
"Fuck me..." Redding faltered, his eyes wide. "They're Maliri!"
... and is Jade getting rather Blaise about not really listening to John, or is she just getting really good at doing what he wants without him saying it? .... between her and the naughty Matriarch, Alyssa, those girls will drive poor John into the arms of the Maliri, ... Maybe Jade needs to be a Matriarch too, ... John already has two Matriarch's so what's one more? ;-) ttfn
