Talyn closed her eyes and nodded her head slowly, as if this was a wistful memory. “This shall make our fourth Girls’ Night on Ring City, making it our most common destination for revelry in the entire Forge.”
Frowning, Elm counted off on her fingers. And realising, Talyn cast her a disapproving shake of the head.
“Of course, you still do not remember the third time, Elm. I had to carry you home, so I remember it very clearly.”
“U-Uh, thanks Tal.”
“This sounds very exciting.”
At once, Elm’s mood soured. She breathed out a hot breath through her nose as she leaned around Sera and Talyn to set her sights on their prisoner, who was peeking out of medical with a stupid smile on his dumb face.
“Moron,” she told him. “The clue is in the name. You aren’t fucking invited.”
“A-Ah, right. I did guess that much.” Marcus laughed. “That makes sense. I hope you have a good night out.”
“Any time away from you is good,” she grumbled.
“I’m just checking, though. I’ll be staying here that night, and I’ll be… by myself?”
Elm frowned at him, uncomprehending for a moment. Then, her heart sank.
“You did not consider that one of us would have to remain on guard, did you?” said Talyn.
“Fuck.” Elm gritted her sharp teeth, then pointed a finger at Marcus. “You spoil everything, don’t you?”

But hidden among the smoggy clouds and burning mountains, tucked away in the dark of the night’s shadow, was a thin strip of brilliant, neon starshine. That strip was the only place on the whole world that was safe from the cataclysmic flare of the sun Corona. Sera had told Marcus that Ring City itself was a tightly bustling urban jungle, rife with parties and cheap food. An unending celebration of life, here on the very edge of demise. The residents and visitors both knew that someday, perhaps in a thousand cycles or perhaps ten million, the rotation of the planet would shift enough to destroy the urban strip and turn all their accomplishments to char on the solar winds. Even so, the people came. Perhaps because of that understanding, it made their joyous cries into the void sound all the more resonant.

“I won!”
It was childish of her, she knew that. But Sera did so like to win. She made an attempt at calming herself down but needlessly, as Neu stood to his feet with a wide smile and a demure round of applause. He came around the unit towards her.
“Well done!” he said. “I can hardly believe it, but well done! You must have…”
Drawing close, he leaned around the divider and examined her win-state. Sera could smell the minty shampoo he used in his gorgeous locks.
“Oh, you little devil!” he laughed. “You were right beside me the whole time! Very sneaky!”
Sera felt herself blushing, and the rushing warmth of the heavy effects of her drink. She rested herself down into a seat on the tabletop of the unit, and Neu came to a seat beside her. Close. He liked to be close, her Neu.

“Is this an emergency?” Rune asked, raising one brow.
“Oh, I think it is! If I don’t hear how Marcus has been treating you between the sheets, I think I might just die!”
A feline technician happened to be walking by at that moment, and she turned curiously to eavesdrop until she passed them by. Rune blushed fiercely.
“Y-You already know all about that.”
“Do I? Let’s find out.” Therese’s tentacle reached around, tugging Rune closer beside her, and the tip tapped on the glass of the wine bottle with a pleasantly full thunk. “Drink that, and then tell me there’s nothing left for me to discover.”
“A-All of it?”
“Half of it. And who knows.” Therese nuzzled Rune’s hair playfully. “Maybe once I’m properly lubricated with the other half, I’ll let you tease me a bit, too.”
This time, more people were passing by, and they all turned to listen.

“Not wrong at all, my sweet girl,” Elm grinned as Talyn emerged from engineering and made her way into the group. “In fact, I have a surprise for you both. I’ve gone ahead and booked us in for Ring acceleration the cycle after our arrival.”
“The cycle after?” Sera folded her arms with a frown. “Was that the earliest they had?”
“No, I chose it.”
“So we’re going to just be kicking our heels for the night that we’re…” The dragon trailed off as she caught on to Elm’s ploy, and to the captain’s delight, she lit up like a fresh cig. “No!”
“You got it!” said Elm, standing to her feet. “It’s time for another of Tyrra Elmstrider’s famous Girls’ Nights!”

an idea struck her. Something to cure her girl of the sighing sadness that had overtaken her. Something to rid her of her need to feel bad for Marcus fucking Albright.
“Hey Ari,” she said. “Ari, my new best friend in the whole world?”
The coordinator laughed along. “Yes Elm, light of my life?”
“What’s prime time the cycle after our arrival looking like?”
“Prime time for plus-four?” he sighed. “Busier than the palace on Almsday. You expecting a delay?”
“No, no. We’ll be there. What about first shift for that cycle?”
“Urgh, you’d give up prime time for a firstie?”
“Humour me.”
Ari hummed. “It’s open. You can have it, if you like.”
“And a discount for freeing up a prime?”
“Don’t push it. Shall I book you in?”
Elm didn’t have to think it through. “Do it.”
“Alright, then. I’ll be seeing you in four cycles, first thing on the first shift.”
“See you then, Ari.” With the connection ended, Elm pulled free her headphones and tossed them onto the dashboard.

Hello, BlueSky! Today is my birthday! As the age-old tradition dictates, I'll share some artworks and if you'd like to repost as a gift I'd appreciate that very much. I hope you have a great day! 🥰

Digital painting of a nature god. He has dark brown skin, long dark red hair and green eyes. He's naked, only wearing a flower crown and is covered with a large white snake with red diamond patterns.

Digital painting of a faun boy in a pond. He has brown skin with white spots, akin to a deer's coat. He has blonde hair and blue eyes and small antlers on his head. He stands hip deep in a magical pond, holding a small blue fairy in his hands. Waterfalls feeds the pond, surrounded by otherworldly deep teal leaves and bushes with purple flowers.

Digital painting of a fairy mid-flight. She has brown skin, copper red hair in a high ponytail, and amber eyes. She's dressed in clothes made of leaves and grass, and armor made of bark. She has large, iridescent dragonfly wings on her back and aim a bow at something off-screen. The background is a blurry sunlit forest, giving the illusion of movement.

Digital full body painting of Serara from my book WIP. She's a plus size dark skinned young woman with dark curly hair and green eyes. She's dressed in a blue tunic with purple and gold pattern and blue pants. A green scarf is draped over her shoulders and she has a pink bag slung over her shoulder. The background is mostly white with a photo of a misty forest in a pale teal color.

“Well, we can agree on one thing,” said Hale. “We aren’t letting them board us. And we aren’t handing anything over. Even if we did have what they were looking for.”“Hear, hear.” Sasha was nodding her head in sharp, vicious bobs. “Let’s send these fucks a message they’ll take with them back to their den. You don’t get to push us around without hurting!”Amay just laughed. Poor boy was at the very end of his tether.This was it, then. No more delays. They were at breaking point.“Here we go, then,” said Hale. “Hold fast. I love you all.”And breathing deeply, Hale, the last commander of the Ultraviolet, threw up her arm in terminal defiance.“All ports! Open fire!”As the flames tore the ancient Mythmaker ship apart, and as burning light engulfed the bridge, she closed her eyes.Sorry Avalynne, she prayed into the cosmos. We almost made it back to you. But I guess I let you down…

Talyn’s eyes were narrow. She shifted her weight from one hip to the other in a very organic gesture of discomfort. “You do not wish to explore our relationship?”“That’s not what I-…”“Prisoner Marcus, when the nature of a set is uncertain, one means of identifying the qualifying characteristic is to observe the relationship between members of the set,” she said. “I believe we have reached the limit of meaningful observations in our current environment, so we must expand the scope of the experiment. The result of that observation may be one that hints at the possibility of a deeper, more intimate relationship between us. In that case,” she finished, sighing resignedly, “I hope that the knowledge that you have allowed me to better understand how I relate to other beings provides you with some comfort when you die at the hands of Arkay.”He flinched. “You’d be okay with that?”“I am not certain,” she replied plainly. “We have not tested it yet.”

Having a massive starship as one half of a romantic pairing gives a lot of opportunities for stuff like this, where the ship infrastructure is reacting to emotion like a human body. It's almost a shame Rune ends up with a 'real' body, as I need to find other ways to use sound! 😅 #pretendpanel

$Yeah, wait a frac. You just said something wild. Rune? Rune, sweety?” “Yes, Therese?” came the cute voice of the ship from overhead. “Are you and Marcus a couple, you dirty girl?” Marcus opened his mouth to protest, but Therese’s palm pressed against his face kept him from speaking. And a good thing too as, very suspiciously, Rune didn’t answer right away. “I do not know.” “You don’t know?” Therese continued, placing a second hand over Marcus’ mouth when he struggled against her. “Do you like him?” “…I am fond of Marcus, yes.” “Like, romantically?” A strange sensation came over Therese. Without eyesight, she relied on touch and sound to interact with her environment. As such, she had developed something of a sense for how the ship was doing without needing visual overlays or terminals to transmit to her implant. She felt the thrumming of Rune’s heartbeat through her tentacles on the deck. And now, like a gentle breeze, she felt what she could only describe as a sigh. “It is a moot point,” said Rune, betraying no emotion. “I am not in a position to properly fill the role of romantic partner for anyone, so it is a waste of time to consider it.”$

#nation from Far Worlds, Book Three of the Lonely Ship Saga. Old-fashioned FTL means lots of time for reading. Bounty hunter Elm goes through her book collection. (Read Lonely Ship here! ewanstone.uk/110-2/) #writingcommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPsnips #spaceopera #erotica #nsfw

Elm had three books to her name. All were made of stained paper, and their spines were dog-eared and worn away. She preferred physical books for reading, since screens made her eyes hurt after a while. But in this one in particular, there was a section between chapters seventeen and nineteen where damage to the page had destroyed all legibility. She recalled what happened in the inky narrative void well enough, but it was still a shame to have to rely on her own memory and not the words of the original author.
This book she was now reading was a story about something called a ‘paige’, a sort of low-level nobleman’s soldier, who rises through the ranks of her home castle to eventually manage the armies of a whole nation. Elm liked to cheer the girl on in her quest for martial respect from her peers, even if she was an elf. She had nothing against elves, obviously, but their lives were very different to hers. The barriers this girl faced in her ascent were not ones Elm could necessarily sympathise with. And once or twice in the long, epic narrative, the girl jeopardises her whole career for the sake of some pretty boy or another she’s run into, which Elm thought was utterly inane. Still, a good read. A few more cycles, and she’d be finished with this one again. Then she’d move on to her second book, which was about space pirates, and then back and forth between the two, ad infinitum.
Her third book was called Twilit Tales of House Black, an eternal lend from Raven Manor, and she reserved that one for privacy.

Talyn’s eyes. When he had first seen the girl in the angelic, metal armour, he had known she was an android at once. Her stiff stance and placid expression were all the evidence needed, even before taking into account her monstrous strength and way she responded to his digital senses. But now, in the dim light of engineering, he looked into her eyes and wondered if he’d been wrong this whole time.

“Good night, Madam Raven.”
As the maid took her leave with another curtsey, Raven leaned back on her seat and spared a glance for the monitor she had dismissed to the side of the room. It still hung there on its pneumatic arm, and Raven could see the glow of the screen shining on the mahogany wall even with the monitor facing away from her. Meeting the Prosultan was tomorrow. Then she had the Century Board to plan, since that was closer than she’d like. She would be announcing the production of the Wings Institute’s new skin graft system for damaged feet. Funny, Marcus and Avalynne had helped her put that together too. As for the T-codes, there was no rush. The mysteries of time could wait for as long as they needed. And for now, destiny would occur however much she meddled.
Still, Raven didn’t go to bed for a further thirtieth of a cycle. She drank her tea and ate some bread. And she considered the cosmos, as best she could.

“Oh…” came Talyn’s voice in the pitch black beside him. “That was… foolish.”
“S-Sorry,” Marcus grumbled. “I didn’t think that would happen. Elm’s gonna beat the crap out of me, isn’t she?”
“No, it is I who was foolish,” Talyn sighed. She didn’t sound all that put out by the sudden lack of power in the ship. But then again, most emotions would have been a surprise coming from her. “I did not consider that the collar would attempt to limit the ship’s core power through the recharge device. Since my awakening, I have never slept with the collar around my neck again. I should have realised… And you are certain that you need to breathe?”
As he fought to retain his angle in the lack of gravity, Marcus reached out for something to hold to. “Why are you asking that now?” he asked urgently.

“He is my mentor.” Aki smiled proudly. “He agreed to coach me in the ways of the galaxy! So, there. I wish he had more time to speak to me as my mentor.”
Demi’s eyes widened. “He agreed to be your mentor?”
“Oh, I did not say? Yes! And were we not constantly in the midst of some galactic crisis, I have no doubt he would-…”
“Aki, no!”
“N-…” he stammered, taken aback by her sudden ferocity. “No?”
“He agreed to be your mentor, but I’ve barely seen him spare you a second! That’s rude of him!”
“Oh, um… No, I am sure that he has good reason to prioritise other matters.”
“What, like having sex with Deviant Avalynne?” Demi scowled. “He has time, Aki.”
“B-But…” It was a struggle to find any words at all. What did she mean, having sex with Avalynne? Wasn’t Marcus…? No, that didn’t matter. “But now that Miss Rune is here, surely he will want to spend all of his time with her! It would be rude of me to-…”
“Rune’s very special,” said Demi with a shake of her head, letting her chestnut hair tumble about her shoulders. “But we’re his crew. His has an obligation to spare us his time too. And he promised you, Aki! He needs to give you more of his time, if he promised. Except, I think the issue here is yours too.”

“As I live and breathe…”
The voice of their employer was changed. Now, it was awash in an eager, venomous sort of glee, a quietly menacing excitement. Elm recalled the many rows of serrated teeth in the mouth of a four-headed lizard.
“Never would I have counted myself lucky enough to be having this conversation with you…” said Arkay. She spoke slowly, as if savouring the taste of her own words. “…Captain Marcus Albright.”
Marcus looked urgently at Sera, who shook her head. “I didn’t tell them your name,” she confirmed.

“They tipped you off!” he shouted as his programming began its nasty work on Elm’s ship. “Enlighten told you we were here!”
Elm had been halfway through a growled threat, but clearly she couldn’t help but enjoy his dismay.
“Yeah,” she said. “We’re a big fucking family, and they were happy to help us out. You been rocking the Rockhaven, little man? They were very eager to… Wait. What the fuck are you up to?”
He didn’t bother to answer. Theonova’s fusion reactor was an old model, far behind on its inspection. The slug was ancient, a lead case of radioactive material as old as sin. He didn’t need much effort at all to begin the process of heating up its redundant systems in preparation for a meltdown. It asked him where all the heat was supposed to go, and he ignored it. Alarms began to blare in the ship’s diagnostics, and he let them sing with grim satisfaction.
“I said, what the fuck are you playing at?” Elm demanded, sighting herself down the crossbow. “If I find out you’ve been-…!”
“Stop that!”

Elm had plenty of ideas about who Arkay was. She’d been all the way around the Forge by this point in her long life, and she’d met plenty of bat-shit crazy lunatics in that time. Curiously, a lot of them tended to be hideously wealthy, too. Or maybe that was the only way to survive in the Forge as a lunatic, by also being rich. Elm had taken a fair share of bounty contracts from the crazy community before, some easy and some not. She’d once, long before Sera had joined the team, had to go to a little-known wilderness planet and wrangle a four-headed lizard for an individual looking for a pet to show off at parties. She still had a scar on her shoulder from that pest’s toxic fangs. The lizard, not the employer. She’d only been bitten by contracting employers in a small minority of cases.

I'm loathe to call any of the Lonely Ship cast 'annoying'. They all get redemption, some sooner than others. I'd pick privateer captain Luc, who has such a high opinion of himself! He's clever enough to know how to snap back, and he puts that mind to work doing some bad stuff. #timetravelauthors

“You will try the Lanes?” Luc chuckled. “Then you are brave as well as beautiful, Captain. A winning combination! Perhaps we might collaborate a little closer before you depart? My colleagues and I travel the Lanes all the time and are available to offer assistance.”
“Unnecessary. If you will excuse us.”
“Such confidence. Perhaps you have already received some help? From a certain scavenger station, maybe?”
“That is not for your concern.”
“I’m afraid I must disagree, as we have some business with that station ourselves. If you have been in contact with them, perhaps taken supplies or personnel from them, that makes you our concern.”
“We have taken nothing from Candour,” Miriham said. “We did not have more than a rapid conversation with them. They appear passive and peaceful, however,” she added, leaning on her podium with a deep frown. “Tell me, Luc. What business do you have with scavengers?”
Luc’s lips twisted. She couldn’t tell if he was smiling or grimacing. She didn’t like the thought of either. “We are messengers, Miriham,” he said. “We are here to deliver a message.”
“And what message could possibly require three railguns to deliver?” she retorted.
“A very serious one. It’s very important that our message gets delivered. In fact, I think we had better come aboard and make sure there isn’t anyone on your ship who also needs to hear our very serious message. Prepare yourselves to be boarded.”

“I haven’t met many humans here in the Forge,” he said when it was clear she wasn’t going to reply. “It’s more than a little lonely, sometimes. Even on the crew of our ship, I was an outsider for our early days. And you and I are very different to one another, as we’ve proven. But we do both look like humans. And if you’re right, we both share the same native origin, someone needing a human-looking machine. I’d rather not be killed over that similarity, but it is always nice to meet kin.”
Slowly, she turned her eyes to face him. “Kin?”
“Yeah. Fellow humans. Fellow freaks, maybe,” he amended with a grin, “since you can breathe in space and I don’t always die properly. Either way, it’s nice to find reminders that I’m not alone out here.”
Talyn was watching, her pale blue gaze unreadable. She said nothing.

Rune and Marcus stood together in a tall, stone chapel. Hands clasped, eyes wide with surprise. Blue sunlight streaming in from tall windows. How did they get here?
Marcus only had a moment to wonder, as the sound of applause suddenly rushed over him. He stared out, and Rune with him, and met the exuberant eyes of one hundred people. He could only make out the definition of one of them, a young woman standing beside Rune in a blue dress. She wore a silver sparrow at her breast, and her hair was short, fair and cute.
“You did it!” she cheered. “Well done!”
The whole crowd cheered with her. All one hundred of them. He knew them all, in a way. They were all of them familiar.
He looked to Rune with a breathless smile, and she smiled back. She looked radiant in her white dress. She’d always had that thing, she’d just never worn it. Rune laughed joyously as she stepped forward and planted her lips on his. The cheering reached fever pitch.
And then they exploded.

Lonely Ship 3 has a chapter in it that's a bit taboo. It fits the genre conventions of porn just fine, just not romance, if that makes sense. In redrafting, I've been tempted to change or weaken it to appeal to readers who don't like it. But in the end, it's hot, and won't be a surprise. #erotica

#signal from Far Worlds, Book Three of the Lonely Ship Saga. Marcus has his first encounter with the Far Worlds' mad collector, the scientist Arkay. But she knows him already... (Read Lonely Ship here! ewanstone.uk/110-2/) #writingcommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPsnips #spaceopera #erotica #nsfw

“Your specimen,” said the voice. “This… humanoid artificial. Is it nearby?”“He’s here, yeah.”“May I speak with it, please?”Elm, not liking this at all but knowing it was all they had to go on, turned in her seat and glared demonstratively at Marcus. The human stepped forward so he was between her and Sera, and he leaned in.“I’m here,” he said uncertainly. “I’m not happy about it, but I am here. Can I help you?”The soft static grew along the signal, only Elm realised a moment later that it was the sound of an intake of breath. Then Arkay fell silent.“Hello?” said Marcus. “You still there?”“As I live and breathe…”The voice of their employer was changed. Now, it was awash in an eager, venomous sort of glee, a quietly menacing excitement. Elm recalled the many rows of serrated teeth in the mouth of a four-headed lizard.“Never would I have counted myself lucky enough to be having this conversation with you…” said Arkay. She spoke slowly, as if savouring the taste of her own words. “…Captain Marcus Albright.”Marcus looked urgently at Sera, who shook her head. “I didn’t tell them your name,” she confirmed.

Frequently! Reading the story aloud is my first editing pass, after the initial draft. Then I read it again to the live-in beta reader that I married to see if she vibes with it. Both steps are invaluable for picking up grammar errors and checking the scenes' cadence 😊 #pretendpanel

Happy Saturday, #TimeTravelAuthors! In this excerpt, a sign of the #changing times in Lonely Ship. Tactical Officer Hal meets Ensign Demi, an alien that lives in the bodies of other species. Her kind subsist on heat, and Hal's people have high body temperatures, so they're a good match!

Hal smiled as he moved to the slope, and Demi closed the gap.“Hal, tactical,” he introduced, holding out his hand. “I hear that party was gonna bomb anyway. You can have a lot more fun here with us, mark my words.”“O-Okay.” The ensign shyly took his hand. Her skin was indescribably cold, and he began to laugh.“Shit, girl! You need a pair of gloves or something.”She wasn’t listening. As Hal watched, Demi’s breathing shortened. Her grip on him tightened slowly, and when he looked into her odd, red eyes he saw that the pupils had expanded.“Oh…” she sighed. “Oh, wow.”This must be the one from the Alignment, then. Hal wasn’t sure what to make of that. His old dad had fought as part of a poorly thought-out war against her people, back when the ‘corpse-thieving insects’ had been enemies of the Accord. Now there was one serving on his ship. How the times change. Still, this Demi seemed an interesting sort. And, again, she was cute, which helped.

#tube from Far Worlds, Book Three of the Lonely Ship Saga. Marcus helps Talyn suit up in her powered armour for a space engagement. (Read Lonely Ship here! ewanstone.uk/110-2/) #writingcommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPsnips #spaceopera #erotica #nsfw

Is it fun?”Talyn narrowed her eyes at him. “Please explain your question.”“Is flying around in the combat frame fun?” he asked again. After the shoulders came a loose tube of self-affixing polymer that connected the gauntlets to the rest of the frame. Talyn extended her arm for him to wrap the fabric around her. “I bet it’s a lot of fun. I’d love to fly around in space myself, free from gravity and endlessly mobile.”“It is… not unpleasant,” she agreed with a frown. “Please recall that I shall be fighting for my life and the lives of my friends and will not be considering how entertained I am by space flight as I do so.”“Right, obviously,” Marcus chuckled.“Additionally, the fatigue I shall feel on returning to gravity will be very unpleasant,” she said. “As will the readjusting of my core temperature after the cold of the vacuum of space. However…”He tightened the straps on her arm guards, and Talyn lowered her gauntleted hands to her sides. After some thought, she nodded decisively.“It is fun,” she said. “I enjoy flying very much.”

My stupid brain is *convinced* it is Sunday. I think it's cos I've had a few days off work to get up when I like and do writing at my own pace. Whereas tomorrow first thing is DnD, a thing that requires me to work. It's messed up that it thinks that about a hobby, but there ya go 😮‍💨

I'm afraid I have no idea 😅 It would need to be someone comfortable with both long-form storytelling and over-indulgent descriptions, and also obscene noises. Not sure I could ask another human being (or two) to take part in that! What are the Disco Elysium gang up to these days? 🤔 #pretendpanel

#payment from Far Worlds, Book Three of the Lonely Ship Saga. Sorry for the dense one! Bounty hunter Elm has a crossbow, and Marcus asks for the story from Talyn. (Read Lonely Ship here! ewanstone.uk/110-2/) #writingcommunity #WritingPrompts #WIPsnips #spaceopera #erotica #nsfw

Elm acquired the crossbow on a bounty mission to a world in the Near Traverse. I was present as her partner, but this was far before Sera joined us. The world was a seldom visited planet with a small native population in the pre-industrial stage of their development. Elm was tasked with landing on this planet and extracting a known criminal fleeing justice from the Core Worlds, who had set himself up as a deity among the locals and was hiding from the Core authorities. We soon realised that we were at a disadvantage on this world. Despite possessing surpassing technology, the system’s sun would once per rotation of the planet release a powerful electromagnetic flare that tampered with all electronics."“Did Elm complete the mission?” Marcus asked.“She did,” said Talyn. “She altered the remit of the operation in accordance with our new handicap and covertly entered the society that our target was hiding in. She used her imposing strength to ingratiate herself in a small society of natives who acted counter to their society’s government and took part in a series of anarchistic espionage and larceny tasks for them.”“A thieves’ guild?” asked Marcus with bright, excited eyes.“I do not know that term,” she replied. “Regardless of their name, the organisation was the one who gifted her the crossbow and supported her in setting up the hit on her target. Their goals were aligned in this sense, which was convenient.”“And she brought him in?”Talyn shook her head. “He was killed in the ensuing battle. And Elm has a scar on her stomach from the puncturing wound of a metal blade as a result. A less than optimal resolution, but enough for her to retreat and collect payment from our employer. She retained the crossbow as something of a souvenir of her time there.”“That’s so cool,” said Marcus. “I wish I could have seen that.”

“This is all very odd,” Sera sighed with a shake of her horned head. “Did RKON ever share their rationale for managing humanity in the way they do? The rest of us get along just fine having children in the conventional, organic sense.”
Having children… in the organic sense… Marcus swallowed.
“It’s to keep us safe,” he explained. “It takes out the uncertainty of nature. Having a digital programme in place to support the population means infant mortality is a flat zero, the same as disease. No hunger, no thirst, no need for sleep if we don’t want to…”
“But you could theoretically still suffer from mental or emotional harm?”
“Yes, absolutely.”
“You could still exhibit symptoms such as, let’s say, a delusion about who you are and the nature of your existence?”
Marcus realised he was gripping the bed too tightly, and he forced himself to relax. “Sure.”
“Hm. Interesting.” As if this was nothing, Sera turned to face her medical terminal and focussed on her work.

There's a loss for the Lonely Ship crew early in the story, where they are unable to save a scavenger outpost from raiders. They carry that regret with them, even if there hadn't been much they could have done. When they meet the raiders again, there's a question of justice... #timetravelauthors
