Status update - chapter 104

Was it man flu? Or the most deadly of plagues?

Tefler, a few things I caught on a second reading: that sent a shiver down their spine. --her spine when she head Jehanna groan in response.--heard Do you think your boys handle that?”--can handle lower layer that housed hundred of docking bays allocated for civilian usage---hundreds Lynette looked at the number audience, each of them still---members of her audience? When he reached the backs of her knees, she cried out with pleasure, turning to bite a pillow as she writhed at his gentle caress. By the time he ascended to her athletic thighs and started massaging those powerful muscles, she spread herself wantonly for him, her hips hunching with need as she moaned with desire. ---backs of knees suggests she is on her stomach but then he enters her in the misionary position...confusing. They had a quick kiss, then John turned to look back at the Invictus’ plasma scorched stern. “So what’s the plan on the repairs? I assume there’s a reason you asked me to bring my sword...” John still had his helmet on. Glancing at him over her shoulder, Dana nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah, that’s a great idea! I was going to get you to just drop the busted bits on the docking bay deck, but that would’ve made a hell of a mess!” While we can assume Alyssa spoke to Dana, too....it is not mentioned. A little incongruent.

Well... We know it wasn't 4 minutes...

Relax - it'll happen. :) Personally, I'd rather Tef took his time and was happy with the output!

J B

This fustration is gonna need more lionesses than just jade my friend😂😂

Nathos

Between 4 minutes and 2 hours 4 minutes.... depends on when he puts the polish away and uploads it.

Muledrvr

I'm not having issues with my smartphone

Forbsey

Definitely not the isp have several available and they all behave the same. It's happening on my IPhone also. Must be a bug associated with only that one page. The F5 idea does have some merit.

You need Jade to fix that problem

Forbsey

😭😭what is happening! Coming or not coming, by this point i'm more tense than a John after no release for 2 days. At least a sign of when it's gonna come😂😂

Nathos

It just happened to me on my phone, I think there are too many people on here F5ing

cp

No problems here (android phone), could it be your isp?

MuddMaxx

Is anyone else having a problem with Teflers post page? I've only used my IPad to read his stories and have never had a problem with Patreon. Yesterday and today his post page will not fully load it just keeps "having a problem" and trying to reload in a constant loop. I can open his overview page without a problem. Also not having a problem with any other pages I support. Curious if it's happening across any other platforms.

Think I'll grab a nap and hope it's posted when I wake. See ya in a while.

Good for you im on CET not even greenwich time... and my day starts at 5 in the morning so... yeah...

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

I'm so confused. Are you sleepy? I just woke up not too long ago.

The authority awarded to me by a 15 hour work day and as mutch as i love tsm... the siren song of my bed right now.... hum.... tomorow is another day. Besides only the thought of the other progenitor still beeing in the solar sistem for the last 3 chapters and having said that it was time for a family meating..... for me that was the only thing troubling my sleep... but with so mutch going on... i dont know... i think ill be as thriled to read tomorow or when ever the grand tef publishes as i would staying up till god.... ir tef knows when

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

Are you saying that with any authority? :P

Guys... not today aparently... its ok. We all know its worth waiting for😆

Ricardo Miguel Pereira da Silva

[refresh] Are we there yet?

ETNSosa

Well Tef did say afternoon, but didn't say who's afternoon time since it is already after 8:30 PM GMT.

Don't jinx it.

Normally I wouldn’t ask this either but I’m curious too, plan on taking my lunch and all breaks at same time when chapter releases f I’m not home yet. Either way though don’t feel rushed, and you do you tefler. Gonna love it tonight or tomorrow or a week from now.

Status? :)

ChrisW

John needs to confront PJ. once he has done that they will start to develop and maybe even improve projenitor tech. If he can do that there may be a chance to retire in 6 months.

That's like saying we shouldn't have treated people's smallpox because then more people would catch it...

cp

Would it be correct and ethical to push the Kirrix out of Allied Space, denying them approach vectors to attack their citizens, without any concern for non-allied sentients at risk on the other side of Kirrix Space?

Me, too, JS. But I'm also hoping for more background on the Kirrix that can shed light on the options available to the Alliance for dealing with them as a risk/threat to neighboring sentients.

It’s 2130h on 30 May here in India.... been waiting for a long time.

bob lakhanpal

Hoping for a little plot advancement in the Vulkat research department this chapter.

Glad to see your feeling better. Hows the little guy doing?

Anthony Kester

We will get it when we get it...glad you are feeling better!

Arrowglass

Thank you for the update and get some rest! Tomorrow is just fine!

Evan

It worth waiting for i'm sure Teflar do you what you need to we your adoring fans will still be here.

Your health is more important. Hope you and your son are getting better.

LunarLilith

To save you guys wearing out your F5 keys, I doubt I'll get 104 completed this evening. I've still got another 2k words to go and I don't want to rush it. I'll probably be finished sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Tefler

Rachel turned 19 in chapter 93 page 6 in Literotica.

Cignal

While we're waiting for chaper 104, I thought I'd throw a question to TSM fans. The origin of this question is one of those pesky bits of trivia I never bothered to have answered and it has lingered - how old is Rachael? At first, it appeared as John were accumulating eighteen-year old women (Alyssa, Calara and Dana). Obviously, she has to be older having completed medical school plus leaving home at sixteen (if memory serves) and switching her course of study from finance. If she were, as was initially described, "just a medic in the military" then she could be closer to eighteen but she is clearly DOCTOR Voss and thus, must be older. It also got me curious about the age of all of John's Lionesses. So, who can tell me the Lionesses ages (incuding the Trankarian Queen and my favorite TSM character, Maria Fernandez)?

Bigfoot

And the countdown starts anew ;)

andrew finlayson

Take 48 don't press yourself flu can relapse and we don't want that to happen. Take care Tef

You rock Tef, glad to hear you’re doing better. How’s the kiddo?

I've recovered from the flu bug so I'm just wrapping up part 2 of chapter 104. With a bit of luck I should be finished tomorrow evening. :-)

Tefler

12:55 am

Braw

Isn't it over midnight over in the UK? Don't work too hard Tefler

Forbsey

If you don't vaccine them.

Forbsey

Children are plague carriers!

Sithy

Force multiplyer my ass....force exponential more like it. You are talking a Dreanought and several Battleships all rolled into something that moves like a frickin mosquito! And that is excluding the Raptor and the Valkyrie!

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Will the Invictus arrive at the border region in time to coordinate their operations with the TF reaction fleet against the Kirrix? If not, Jack and his other fleet elements will have to act without Calara's guidance and leadership. Jack probably studied closely her battle with the Kirrix in Trankaran space and gleaned from that the essentials of her strategy and tactics. But her presence would be a qualitative force multiplier that could help the TF quickly eliminate the Kirrix invasion fleets and hive ships to liberate the Terran colonies.

Interesting. Tefler knows...

Good point Brian!

Big Dude

So when is Alyssa going to realize she's a full fledged progenitor? In chapter 67 when everyone is drawn into the astral plane they are desperate and John said to Alyssa, "I know, but my mind works differently to yours! he growled in frustration. I’ve given you all my other powers, there must be something you can do!" The point is that John didn't just make her psychic but rather a Progenitor by copying his entire third helix to Alyssa. She has all his powers which by extension means she also has all the same powers as all the other girls. She must also have all tech progenitor tech inside of her. If John can't access the schematics that Dana needs then Alyssa should be able to, after all her guide is not fighting her. Perhaps Alyssa will need to fully absorb Athena into her to reach her full potential, which will occur when fighting the other Progenitor or maybe when helping John to deal with his guide.

If the peaceful night scenario does indeed happen, it's going to throw the "rules" that John and the girls think they know right out the window. Just because the monsters didn't attack on the first night after connecting the girls doesn't mean that they won't attack the next night, or the night after that. John has never had more than one girl at a time trigger the flag that causes the Astral Monsters to attack, so maybe it's a one girl equals one attack kind of deal. That would mean that with seven now joined all at once, that's seven nights that the monsters could attack on. They don't necessarily need to attack on every night, but they could. Hell, this one girl equals one night "rule" could still apply even if the monsters attack on this first night, which would mean that the next night, if the monsters attack, John and the girls will be caught unprepared.

Jedi Khan

Jedi - you could be right on timing, I admit. I'd mentally glossed over some of the outstanding points you listed. Love the "peaceful night" scenario though. It would be a good Tefler twist, that's for sure ! Even if it happens, we're not done with those monsters. In some way, they are going to become pivotal to the waking hours plot. I just don't know the when, why or how of it, though....... :-) Cheers Tim

Timbo

There's a lot on the docket for John and the girls to do before that Astral Plane visit comes up. John's gotta deal with the admiralty, feed Admiral Devereux and Helene one more time, and give Jade's sisters their first feedings. Plus there's the ongoing repairs, Calara's visit with her mother, and any other miscellaneous stuff Tefler chooses to throw in. I would expect the trip to the Astral Plane to be in 105, if it happens at all. Who knows? Maybe the monsters got the hint after the last visit and will leave John alone, or they could still be licking their wounds and aren't ready for a another visit yet. Wouldn't that be something? 104 ends with John and the girls going to bed, ready for a confrontation with the monsters, and 105 starts with them waking up the next day after an uneventful and peaceful night.

Jedi Khan

I'm predicting an astral plane confrontation cliffhanger. Could be brutal...

Timbo

Yeah, we're past the latest time Tefler has posted at, so unless his sleep schedule is all messed up from having the flu, he's probably in bed by now.

Jedi Khan

Looks as though chapter 104 is coming through tomorrow

Wookey

Oh, another thing I noticed: I tend to read the first draft of a chapter and had not always read the final version. There were several things I had missed by not reading the final edit. Just an FYI for anyone who does the same thing.

I just finished rereading the whole story for about the third time since the story reached 50 chapters. This time through what really stuck me was that we are basically getting a day by day accounting of an ever increasing number of people. I've been reading TSM since he posted the first chapter. There had been a number of other stories I'd read on Literotica where the author built something that was kind of cool but... at a certain point they couldn't handle the threads they had created and just stopped (as far as I know). I don't really have anything else to say about that other than keep in mind how unique and cool it is that Tefler is doing this. And to say thanks to Tef and everyone here who supports him.

Tef is the only boat in my harbour, so he did nothing to anyone as far as I am concerned.

One question: has Tefler's sucess sucked the life of other's $$$ on Patreon or have all boats been lifted on his tide? Interested in people's views.

Wookey

He did say 4 more days to complete, so if he was referring to the current date when posted, yes, it would be today, but if he was referring to the offset from the 25th, then it would be on Tuesday. We'll just have to wait and see, and continue to hope that Tefler's feeling hale and hearty!

Evan

Was just wondering the same thing JK, have my fingers crossed, But not hopeful. afraid it won’t drop until tomorrow.

MJHSharkbait365

So, provided Tefler hasn't spent a day or two completely bedridden since this status update, we should theoretically see the chapter sometime today? It has been four days now. However, just to be safe and allow Tefler time to convalesce, I'm thinking we'll see the chapter Tuesday at the latest. I'm hoping it's today, but again, life's a bitch and I could be wrong.

Jedi Khan

Take care of yourself. Flu can bring worse, so it pays to rest and heal properly.

Chef Marco

Hope you’re doing better now!

Hinterlands Man

Eh, every year I get the flu shot I get the flu. Don't get the shot, don't get the flu...go figure.

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Thanx for the Update, and prayers for healing sent y'all's way. take care and finish on your timeline when you feel better and really up to doing it. :)

Leon Shelton

Tefler, are you feeling better and how your son doing? Hope all are well now. Love your writing and will wait for chapter 104 until you are ready to release it.

You need to get hold of Rachel - she will fix you both up❤️ Take care and get better both of you.

Kim Biel-Nielsen

He added it on the 2nd version - just download the latest edit

In chapter 103. you leave room for another part of the chapter any news on that?

William Wallace

Get well soon Tefler. Don’t worry about the turnaround of the next chapter, it will be gratefully received when you post it. Quickly followed by IMpatiently longing for chapter 105 as soon as the scroll bar reaches the end. Rest and get well.

Get better son Telfer.

Sending Force energy to a remote location isn't so hard, the tricky bit is finding a connection to the location in the first place. Without having met or visited Tefler to know where to aim it's not practical. The Force can *kinda* work over the internet, but it's mind-bending trying to work through the complexity.

My sympathies to your good lady for having to deal wit 2 sickos at the same time. No pressure intended but sunday the 27th I will be celebrating my 65th birthday and would love a present of chapter 104 to savor instead of cake. Take care Tefler and get well sooner. Bill

Just take a couple cyanne pepper pills and drink a shit ton of water. Burn it out.

Grimlakin

Get better, Tefler. Just ask Rachel for a cure for the flu and the cold :P

ETNSosa

On second thought, in addition to the above, 16oz of Spicy Hot V8 Juice, mixed with a 8oz of vodka, gives you all of your day vegetable requirements. If you did the same proportions with orange juice you will nap well and wake up feeling much better.…..

Take care of yourself and your family. Remember that except for your health and family, EVERYTHING ELSE is just "stuff" and carries little value.

Tefler, what you didn't get your flu vaccine shot this year? Haven't had the flu in years since I started taking it every year for the last 15+ years. Take good care of yourself and family, the tale can wait for your best. We appreciate all you do for us!

Schedule be damned. Just focus on getting better. As always, you and your family should come first. We can always look forward to seeing Crazy at an extra support group meeting :)

MuddMaxx

get well tefler

a shot or two(or 3...) of decent whiskey should help....get well quick mate!!

B S

It is the time of the year I suppose, I got my Flu shot a few months ago ($15 AUS). Haven't had any issues but sneezing at the cold wind. Get better soon Tefler, can't wait to see what John is going to do with the Admirals.

Forbsey

Get well soon

Oh dear sorry to hear that your feeling under the weather. Hope you recover soon and feel better even sooner.

Nibbles

Hope it does not hit you too hard and you feel better!

Arrowglass

Feel better and get well soon, Tefler.

Evan

Take of you and yours. Get well. And thanks for your great writing.

morris ridgeway

It'll be a bike again like the one she was riding when she was taken originally. The Rachel liking it is in reference to her having a thing for bikers to upset her Dad.

Hey Jedi, why don't you do some of your Jedi stuff and help Tefler get over that flu bug? Jedi stuff? Yeah, like Mind Trick the virus or zap it with lightning. As much as I would like it to, Crazy, the Force doesn't work via the Internet. We're just going to have to wait for nature to take it's course. But that's takes too long and it's keeping Tefler from writing! Nothing we can do about it. You'll have to wait like everyone else. Fine. Hurry up and kill that flu bug already Tefler! *sigh* Don't worry about Crazy, Tef. Get well on your own schedule.

Jedi Khan

Get well soon Tefler..

Get well soon Tef

Get Well and don't worry about anything else. We'll be fine until you're ready to finish the chapter. Take care and be happy.

Take your time and get better Tefler! I'm sure the night with the nymphs, the high command meeting, and the trip to the astral plane will need some significant attention to detail for you to be satisfied with them. Can't wait (but really I can) to read them!

RL includes the occasional annoying infections. My nieces and nephews are little, lovable Typhoid Marys. They are at those ages. Get well because we can wait.

commatoes

Get well soon Tef, keep us posted on chapter and yourself!

BTW, What was it that Sakura showed to John that led him to say that Rachel would not be able to keep her hands off of her? I vote for a Madame Dominatrix outfit, crotchless, in black leather straps, matching boots, and classical collar, cuffs, quirt, paddle and flail. No wonder he gave her a million credits.

Get well soon!

Get well soon.

Sorry about the bug, get well soon!

Yes Tefler just get well. Trouble children go to school pick some virus up then parents have share it with them hey ho.

Deryck Stevenson

hope you get to felling better

LOLS Get better or die trying???

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

Sorry to hear about Jr. Always tough when a child is sick...breaks your heart. Hope everyone is doing better!

PLRus--Founding member of the TSM F5 club.

No worries about the delay, just get better as well.

You could always give us the first half as a teaser. Just make sure you leave it on some kind of cliffhanger.

Cody Strong

Hope you feel better thank you for the update

Hope you feel better soon, Tefler. Rest as much as you can.

LunarLilith

As much as I need my fix. I'd rather you get well.

Take it easy and get well. Thanks for the update.

Muledrvr

That's cool Telford get better

Y'all just focus on getting better we can wait

Mark Hall

Hope you and Tefler Jr. get better. Lots of rest and vitamins from here on out mister! But while you're recuperating, I'm sure the fans wouldn't mind if you hopped on Discord and posted your reference pics of all the girls! :P

We love you anyways!

Timtom12

Hope you and Junior get well soon

NomNomWat

Have some chicken soup, some vitamin C and sleep until you wake.... Aged dark rum with coconut water can't hurt. Get well soon.

Get better

Anthony Carrillo

Feel better soon. Kids, what can you do?

roninmw

Hits Tefler repeatedly with a "get well soon" cat-o'-nine-tails... while shouting encouraging phrases

GrandPaM

Get well soon and I hope Junior is doing well also

wildcat 1986

Take some time to relax and get better. Your health is far more important to us than your story.

MightyMackinac

Get well!

If it comes down to it tef I would say publish the first half and then the finished as an update for the ahem.. Cash boost if needed.

Grimlakin

Get well man.

Grimlakin

Feel better champ. Life takes precedence.

Man flu is not to be sneezed at... I'll get my coat...

One of my boys gave me the inside hookup on one of those bugs just last week so I can relate. Just take it easy and get better as you can.

Cody Strong

Get better, we need you healthy! :)

Get well soon TY

Mjk154

Yes your health is more important than the story. And thank you for the update.

Feel better soon. We love you!
