Status Update - (Chapter 118)

Ah, well spotted, thanks Braw! I've fixed it in my master copy of that chapter. :-)

Tefler

I wonder what Dana is going to do to 'wow' John and fulfill their bargain. I know John's going to be giving some TLC to Sakura as she got hurt because of him, at least in his view, but Dana and he did have an agreement. Personally, I wonder if she'll go for the low-hanging fruit and figure out how to upgrade their Singularity Driver to be more in line with their new Heavy Quantum Cannons, so that they don't have to first strip shielding before they can use it.

Evan

No, they are not aware of Jade’s dragon form. No one who saw it lived, other than her friends.

Evan

Works for me, thanks for quick response :-)

BFCP79

Hopefully late tonight, depending on how much I can get done. :-)

Tefler

Thanks for letting me know! It should be fixed now.

Tefler

Ah, it's been a while since I did a tiered release, I forgot you had to check all the levels! I've fixed it now, so you should be able to see it. :-)

Tefler

Tefler- sorry for posting this on the wrong post but the deck 9 plans are locked for anyone not exactly at the $2 rank. I don't think you want those of us above that to lower our levels just to see the post. Thanks!

LunarLilith

Tefler your release of the Invictus deck 9 plans seems limited to Trankaran only. No higher level Patreons have access. I thought I should let you know. Thanks

Cignal

Any updates on when the chapter is likely to be posted?? Its already the 4th in my part of the world....

bob lakhanpal

If John walks back out there normal sized everyone will think it was their imagination because of the pressure of the situation.

Cody Strong

Braw, just curious, but did the size of the ships have to change (or get changed) with all of the upgrades? Or were they all able to be done without changing form factors at all? In other words, are those numbers (and which chapter were they stated in first, and which chapter had the contradictions) the before upgrades or after upgrades numbers, or did they remain unchanged?

Evan

Continuity error in 116,Maliri Battleships are 1500m,Carriers are 2km.Wasn't there 6 Carriers with Lilyanas' fleet and 3 with the fleet at Ashana?

Braw

I would be surprised if Tefler got this out today or tomorrow. I think 4 March is more realistic.

John Jameson

I suspect we will see a number of story arcs worked on in the next chapter in parallel to their trip to Arcadia. As you suggest, the last scene will be of them arriving at Arcadia and .....??!! (Wait for the following chapter...)

Timbo

F5?

GrandPaM

I dont think it would make much of a impact anyway. Since the siege of T-Fed command was televised, the galaxy is more or less aware of John's immense strength, electrokenisis and pyrokenisis, Jade's dragon form, Alyssas psychic prowess, and Rachel's healing at least. So John being 20ft tall would just be icing on the cake as far as the public is concerned

Simorthelast

@BD... I agree with your assessment - and after a good night's sleep for one and all, the final confrontation with PJ will have to be at the pinnacle of the priority list. Now the PJ has demonstrated both the capability to stab John in the back - and the desire to do so, he can no longer be ignored. With a psychically-enabled set of foes to deal with, PJ now represents a liability that cannot be tolerated.

GrandPaM

He was with only Jade , & she doesn't have a camera in her Dragon or any of her natural forms . Not sure if any of the colonists had recording devices but once they get back in touch with civilization , unless John & the girls ask them to keep it secret , the TF will know pretty quickly .

bigdawguw65

I don't believe PJ is really any stronger in relationship to John in this battle , just that he took advantage of the circumstances to catch John in a vulnerable state. I think PJ realized John is now to strong to face "mano to mano " especially after their last scuffle & saw if John could be cut off from his Matriarchs (his source of power) he could be killed in the Astral realm by the Kirrix Queen & allow PJ to take over his body . I think it's pretty clear he has to deal with PJ before they get to Arcadia & a possible meeting with his parents . Having him laying in wait to ambush John at a vulnerable time is just to risky to me .

bigdawguw65

I don’t think so. Mainly as I don’t think that there are any in-eye cyber enhancement for taking photos or video in this universe. We do have the on helmet cam that John and the girls have. So we could see it from Johns prospective being 20 feet tall.

Alphaonetango

Were there any recordings of John's 20 (?) foot tall form clad in Paragon armour with weapons all simultaneously resized to match his expanded form? What will happen if/when word gets out about the giant Lion and his Dragon? How will this be spun and will it be done preemptively? Did John's Paragon suit have recordings taking place showing the slaughter from his (changed) perspective? So many questions... so looking forward to finding out what comes next! :-)

Evan

Wonder if his guide was strong because he was nearly committing genocide and that feed the guide power because John was being evil.

Chicken

This was taken from 88 right after the admirals meeting about the nynph hunting issue were you see voss corp buying the military tech companys. What dk you guys think it means? That is not a slip. Has john been fighting for 20 years with his other half? Hence the potency of his mind shield.... so.... how long has john been awere? Mr tefler? Something we are not being told yet?

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

He felt at peace that morning, calmer and more relaxed than he could remember feeling in months... actually, come to think of it, decades would be more accurate. The recent conversations he’d had with Alyssa, Rachel, and Maria had left him feeling unburdened by worries that had plagued him ever since his heritage had started to make itself known.

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

Hmm... I wonder if John will realize in this next chapter that he will need to either actually commit genocide himself - or find out how to rescue the Kirrix entirely and fix the shroud. The thought of the other "innocent races" that the Kirrix are taking advantage of elsewhere will finally bring him up short and make him see the issue in clear, stark relief; if his spirit walk with the extinct plant-like species didn't do it for him sufficiently already. At the very least, knowing now that the puzzle of the Shroud was Progenitor-made will help him understand that there is still something for him to learn about in Astral/"Spirit"-engineering terms beyond merely solving the problem of the mists and monsters.

GrandPaM

so are we going to arcadia this coming chapter? or just getting to the planet then hang off a cliff....

rich ed

Out of curiosity when is book 3 going to paper back

Thanks for the update!

commatoes

thanks Tefler

Mjk154

Telling us there may be a cliff-hanger coming is the cliff hanger! Can't wait

TF4EVA

Looking forward to the weekend..... out here in India, it will probably be 5th....

bob lakhanpal

So the Cliffhanger is coming in March?

Cignal

Great

lol- please stop using the "C" word. He has already promised to give a real cliffhanger in the story soon. You are just making it worse (not that Tefler needs help). :D

LunarLilith

Seriously? You're going to cliffhang us in an update? ("March should be an interesting month for TSM"). Come on... give us SOMETHING!!

Bigfoot

Sounds like there is a reveal coming

Tease!
