It's explained well enough, she is just underestimating the significance of her interference in the dream. Almost certainly. She does not feel she can gauge how things would have gone, short of quizzing Alex about his life when he is awake which would be awkward for her given her feelings about the...

Poor Beryl is so stressed out that she does not seem to realize that the dreamworld diverges from reality, since there's no way that a cadet will be found floating in space just like that. Yet it this insertion of her dream-persona that contributes to the derailment of Alex' life. Also, it seems th...

Chapter Eighteen: Awake - Part 1 Beryl is luxuriating in the comfortable warmth of light bathing her thoughts when it vanishes, jolting her fully awake. She sees a loroi ear, then distinctive red hair. It takes her mind a further few seconds to process since the hair is done up in a tight bun, but w...

I’m a little confused after the latest update. Does Beryl know Alex is in danger or is she simply fretting? Anyway, now I can see how Alex’s dreams tie in and are affected by his real life situation. Yeah, looking at it again I don't think I made that very clear. Sorry about that. She thinks Alex i...

Chapter Seventeen: Dream - Part 3 Beryl reminds herself that she is dreaming. Maybe this is a reflection of me trusting Alex again, or maybe of Alex’s trust in me. I cannot rely on it. I’m not even sure how I would raise the question with Alex. I’m sure any concerns will be addressed during negotiat...

Chapter Seventeen: Dream - Part 2 The library is busy when Beryl enters. She hopes that is good, that it makes it harder for whomever to track her movements. On the way over, she failed to resist the urge to try to see if anyone is following her while remembering everything she had heard about mizol...

Hamilton, a man with a heart of gold. I figured he would (at least subconsciously) help Lynne/Beryl, even if it is just him feeling responsible for her since she is his aide, and he seemed like he cared about the development of the cadets in the flashbacks in the webcomic. And it helps move the plo...

Chapter Seventeen: Dream - Part 1 Beryl wakes up feeling refreshed. Fireblade was right. Discussing this with Alex was a good idea. Now, I should apologize to Alex for how I acted yesterday. I still wish he would act better, but I should not hold that against him. As she walks out the door, she sees...

Greywind can work remotely. And while she is armed with cutting edge gadgetry and remote devices with top notch cyber security, she likes to conduct her work within more secure facilities. Plus there are direct meetings with other loroi or ambassadors that require her physical presence. Makes sense...

Chapter Sixteen: Awake - Part 5 After getting back to their quarters, Beryl is surprised when Alex approaches her to ask if she would mind talking about his dreams. She can sense his hesitation but he avoids initiating a sanzai link. “Of course,” she replies aloud. “Though it would be easier through...

I wonder if "a few thousand solon" was just a figure of speech, or if Alex misestimated the time he waited due to thinking about the upcoming fighting?

On the updates - I'll miss seeing Danny try to sneak into the monastery, but c'est la vie. I liked the part of Greywind getting sucked into video games - it is a very enjoyable atmosphere. The men are maybe getting a bit out of hand with the Emperor, and I was looking forward to seeing Samus be reve...

I'm up to date now, though I'll have to do some more thinking and skimming before I comment too much. I enjoyed it - thank you for continuing the story. I am awed that you did so much while reworking the plot.

So Alex and the loroi, or at least Beryl, seem to be on good terms again. I'm even more curious about the leviathan. I can almost guess what it could be, but won't say too much to avoid potential spoilers. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much more will be revealed in the story about the leviathan, ...

I am probably going to not post an update on Friday 10/8. Chapter Sixteen: Awake - Part 4 Beryl adjusts her skinsuit nervously wishing she had her armor or even her normal skinsuit as she follows Dream to Starcry’s quarters. “I take it you’ve also never met a farseer?” Alex asks her out loud. Beryl ...

They are merely decelerating from a quarter lightspeed to something more reasonable that may allow a jump. This braking sequence is even trickier to perform, but they managed to stop within the outbound jump zone. I'll review that part a bit. This is a pure realspace drive. Once the ship accelerate...

So they copied a property of this space in order to achieve the psi-cloak? My idea is that the Umiak figured out a way to have the minds of Umiak in the real-world be stored in this space, essentially remote operating the bodies back in the real-world. The Loroi farseers are not detecting the Umiak...

How did the Umiak even get in there, or did those minions contact them instead? The Umiak learned how to enter it as part of the data they seized from the Historians - either during their invasion or possibly as part of a deal the Historians made with them to get the Umiak to leave their space. The...

No, they are using, or rather abusing, the jump drives to propel them in realspace, while the actual reactionless drive acts as an additional inertial dampener. They did not enter hyperspace, although this trick does require toying with its boundaries. I thought that this was rather clear, or do I ...

Then was that silvery Umiak the representation of an Umiak mind or even "soul" that those creatures feast upon? They sound more like my minions. As to the new chapter, the last line should've been Beryl asking "Are you interested, then?" :lol: Yes - the silvery Umiak is the mind or "soul" of one Um...
