    I'm curious, is the 224536 - Ready (WARN: Nonstandard Software Detected) Engineering drone the same one that was modified by an engineer to be "treated like a regular crewman" for fun?
    No it's some other drone. I have no idea which that was. Probably destroyed during the crash

    Hey @nesrak1, you might want to double check that drone name, then look at yourself.

    You might find something very interesting. ;)

    That's one interpretation. Either that, or some crazy modder got his mitts on it. ;)

    C'mon, don't let this story die. God, please, not this story.

    I'd let Eclipse bleed out on the hospital bed before I let this god damn story die.

    Pshaw, I'm betting @scifiwriterguy is just busy IRL, you know, stuff happens. He'll be back, I'm sure (or I'll drag him back with a Propulsion Cannon and feed him nothing but Hoverfish until he updates the story B) ).

    Not sure if this counts as a bump or a nom, but regardless:

    That's freaking adorable.

    Oh, how the internet has provided for this day and age.

    Woo! Another great read from @scifiwriterguy, as per usual. These stories have been and always is such a delight to enjoy, from the insightful readings of the lore of the universe the game partakes in, and delightful twists on what we already know and don't immediately realize. It's so refreshing to see such details put into the story, and how it affects the overall pacing. @scifiwriterguy I can speak for others in saying these writings are such gems, and you always spark joy for me when reading them. I hope to see more of these in the future and I can't wait to see what Chapter 2 has in store for us all! :blush:

    P.S. I have to say, I really feel bad for Hollister, what with his spiteful choice of rations Alterra left for him... :cold_sweat:

    Am I the only one who hits "Awesome" before reading a story post, forgets about it after reading a third of the story, hits "Awesome" again (removing it), realizes and fixes it, and then sometimes does the exact same thing again after reading further? xD

    Nice work, @scifiwriterguy - as always. :)

    This is an amazing story that is well written and carefully thought out! Good job! This was an awesome read that I, and I bet many others, enjoyed greatly.

    Although, I must admit, I almost shed a tear there....

    Alright. I know you've been busy, but I figure it's safe to ask: can we at least get the name of the next character? Or is that chosen yet? :D

    Sorry, @ShuttleBug. But thanks for the compliments; they're deeply appreciated. :)

    My original intent was to work my way down the Aurora chain o' command, which puts the ship XO next and Keen after that. Are we saying we'd rather jump to Keen, then?

    I honestly don't particularly care about the order as long as it makes some kind of sense. I am a bit curious of what happened to Keen since we dont see any signs of life on the floating island and we know he (her?) showed up there at some point. Super excited for any further installments of the series @scifiwriterguy :)

    Something moves on the horizon. It looks like another chapter. It's coming your way. What do you do?

    Get a telescope, attach a pair of binoculars to it, and hope and pray that I'll be able to see it on the horizon.

    I need to see every little detail.

    Board the Athena and set sail straight to it. I want to see everything as it happens, by telescope, binoculars, or up close and personal.
