*** EDITED - FINAL version ***

Hey everyone!

Here's the latest chapter, fresh off the keyboard!

It's over 30k words, which is normally where I stop, but I'm thinking of adding a final scene to wrap up Dana's big day in this chapter. If I do decide to do that, I'll try and get it finished tomorrow morning.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

“ I thought I -> extra space between “ and I. midi-length -> midi? Should that be mid? contact with one of those hexagonal tiles and stroked her -> contact with one of those hexagonal tiles and stroked it (the tile isn’t female even if the generator is) can make it a long stronger! -> can make it a lot stronger! seductive smile teasing her lips as rode him -> seductive smile teasing her lips as she rode him like cats on heat -> like cats in heat Dana cradled the slight bump in her tummy, her stomach still full after Jade had fed her only a few hours ago. -> Dana cradled the slight bump in her tummy, her stomach still full after John had fed her only a few hours ago. — Or was it actually Jade? Those little idiosyncrasies Faye programmed in has given them -> Those little idiosyncrasies Faye programmed in have given them Great chapter, Tefler! Very interesting and enjoyable!

Thanks for another fabulous chapter, Tefler. I added a small list of edits to discord for you. Also, I loved the nod to the Christmas picture of John. :D

Bigfoot

Shout out to Tefler for his inclusion of a series of references to THE BIG LEBOWSKI (“Is that a White Russian? I’ve always wanted to try one of those!” and “It’s just a shame the Invictus doesn’t have a bowling alley...”). Love it!!!!!!

The feels are strong with this chapter. And the plot thickens as well. Very intriguing. I had a thought about Irillith's eventual goal to hack a Progenitor server. I think she might need to brush up on her combat skills, especially in melee. Hacking can only get her so far, once she's detected, she needs some way to defend herself. She was nearly taken out by the TFed's pitiful defense programs back on Mars. Sure, she's a much better hacker now than she was then, and could probably avoid detection now, but still...it doesn't hurt to be able to put up a fight. In fact, all the girls should be working on their melee combat skills. Aside from John, Calara, and Sakura, all the others would be screwed in a close quarters fight where ranged weapons and powers won't help.

Another excellent addition and yet more sub-plots added to the mix all turning up at 3.30 in the morning! Still, that's the advantage of working from home and for yourself, you get to fix your working time to when you want. Meanwhile, spotted one of those telepathic/normal speech mismatches. ... Edraele said earnestly. *Without him, I never would have existed... and without the new version of me attempting to consolidate your control of the Maliri Regency, eventually all the Young Matriarchs would have been killed by intra-House assassinations.”

Roethan

So any guesses as to who the former admirals were talking about? I'm leaning towards... forgot her name, actually. The one who was fighting Lynette for Charles' attention. She's definately well placed. Looks like we'll be getting a chapter about Maria's neighbors soon. Interested to see a normal fight, since those are kinda rare.

When Rachel was giving the presentation to John about the impact he's had by recruiting the girls, she should have also reminded him that without the team, the invasions by both the Kintark and the Kirrix would have succeeded, not to mention that Nexus would have destroyed who knows how many worlds in its desire to exterminate the Terrans, leaving what was left wide open for attack by the Brimorians. The entire Terran civilization would likely have ceased to exist except as slaves, if that. Surely the Maliri, Ashanath, Trankarans, and all of the other "good" species would not have escaped the attention from all of those "bad" guys. And, of course, there would be no one left to prevent the remaining Progenitor from doing whatever it is that he plans to do. So while the loss of the 13 girls on his team would have been a very personal one for him, along with the loss of his own life as was pointed out, his and the girl's influence has saved and will continue to save hundreds of billions or more. So while it is admirable that he stays concerned about his influence, and he should continue to do so, he should also get his head out of his ass about his fear of turning into what the past Progenitors have been.

James Hârn

Great chapter. Almost makes me wish the cosmic plot would just go away for a bit so the characters could just hang out with each other. If you want to write more kinkiness, I'm all for it...

Emma B

Wonderful chapter! I especially like the new twist with the daughters setting off to meet their mom!! Will they end up with white hair too? The mother child interactions of Faye and her child are intriguing too. Excellent work, tefler. Thank you once again.

Evan

I find the newly white haired Matriarch and change in attitude towards her to be very interesting. Is it a consequence of Progenitor age, some phenomena in this region of space such as the Veil, John’s influence, or something else? Very interesting, indeed.

"Alyssa nodded sombrely. She's desperate for..." sombrely. "She's?

Philip Hannum

Am I to understand that they enroute to the planet where Johns’s mom might be? It was not mentioned directly so I am drawing that conclusion based upon all of the other chapters I have read. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Horny Rhino

Dude, Tefler, I'd seriously hate to see your notes, with all these plots, sub-plots, and Sub-sub-plots... Although, I'm sure it would make for interesting reading, I'm sure... I'm really interested to see in Ch. 120 if John and the girls reach Arcadia, and Finally get all the answers we've all been waiting for... Is Johns mother still alive? Is his father? If so, how will John react? If not, did they leave him a message? Or even know he was alive? What kind of tech is there, just waiting for Dana's special mind to "requisition" Also, will John finally beat his Guide, and how will that effect him, and the girls? All of this, and more, On The Next Episode Of DRAGON BALL... sorry, had to...

Steve

Hey Tef! I'm not very far into the chapter yet, but I like that they are reviewing what would have happened to the girls if John had not rescued/taken the girls. It's kind of like a little highlight reel. It made me wonder though, is anybody still keeping a word count on the story? I don't often read ALL of the comments so it could be happening and I'm not seeing it. Anyway, good stuff as always! Peace, Steve

James Hârn

It was a good point that John hasn't properly pursued any of his girls... I see the point, and I don't know if I'd like the harem expanded now, but it would have been nice if there ws at least one girl who John was like "I like her. Gonna make her mine."

Jeff Eaton

It's not over 30k. It's under.

Jeff Eaton

For some reason when I first opened it, WORD had it at less then 30k. But you are correct. I apologize. Upon reopening it has changed its total to match yours.

Jeff Eaton

Perhaps when I hit the button to convert it to a cellphone format, it screwed it up.

Chaucer

Another outstanding chapter Tefler! Thank you

prsstarid

So now we have more possible characters introduced in this chapter that could be the traitors that contacted the Brimorians. My odds on favorite at this point was Doug, I believe he was Admiral Morgan's XO that lost his family to the Kirrix when the Federation abandoned the the outer rims worlds. He had the most motive. And my other suspects were Tom Walker and Mason Buckingham. But now there are a few more possibilities.

Tefler

I've added the final scene, which wraps up the end of the day. I hope you enjoy it!

prsstarid

Tefler, I curious why Larn’kelner had not claimed any of the races in this universe before now? They had been available for thousands of years since the last of big Progenitor wars. Is it because he came from a different universe and so they were off limits so he deiced to have them Kill each other off to remove more of John's possible allies?

Roethan

Ok, not sure if this has been mentioned before (I think it has just not sure if it went into detail) but all the girls have variations of John's progenitor abilities, right? Except maybe Rachel, there was some issues giving her the healing ability. So if Calara is a precog, it would make sense that John's father would have the same ability, only stronger after millennia of use. So how likely is it that the steps John had to take in order to rescue these girls were seen and actions taken specifically to make it possible? The "rescue" and subsequent escape of John's mind controlled (maybe?) Mother would be child play. Setting the rest of the pieces would be harder but still possible. I just don't know how LK fits in to the designs yet. Is he a tool to help John and the girls grow? Or an adversary that was always coming and John is being raised as this corner of the universe's defense?

Tefler, another great chapter, that I enjoyed! Your teasing us with Progenitor warp gates, Quantum Power Augmentors and stealth field generators, but it’s all good! Only a few suggested edits for Chapter 119, that I have not seen others post, and three are just missing spaces; are as follows: Page 3: Sakura gazed up at him adoringly.( )“I missed you so much...”; Page 7: She ran a diagnostic on her power supply to make sure that there (were) no glitches in the software.; Page 10: “Helene’s got a beautiful soul; she only sees the good in us... I just hope I can live up to the way she sees (in) me.”; Page 14: Jade wrinkled her nose in distaste.( )“Without the four of you to defeat the pirate fleet,; Page 18: “The Brimorians might already by (be) killing them on a vast scale.”; Page 59: Dana giggled then handed him a bottle.( )“Can you wash my hair, please?; Page: 71: John shared a(n) affectionate glance with his Nymph matriarch,; Page 72: Sakura blushed, much to the rest of the girl(’)s amusement, and sat demurely on the bed.; As always, if you disagree, I completely understand. Good luck with Chapter 120. Cheers!

I rather enjoyed the part where Irillith felt sorry for the Kirrix drone carriers she sent to Kirr-Inax. While it's probably too late for them I wondered whether the hive ship, Fruitful Harvest, taking the colonists back to Menganus IV could be sold to the Ashanath? I expect they'd be quite interested in a psychic ship! Also, the part where they were talking about what would have happened to Tashana if they'd not rescued her, since her pyrokinesis had already developed I'd expect she would have had to be killed quickly and from a safe distance while being surrounded by toasted Enshunu.

Evan

Tefler, nice addition. I enjoyed it. swaying alluring to music -> swaying alluringly to music felt that irresistible tingling his quad -> felt that irresistible tingling in his quad

Evan

There are a number of beings who are going to have some surprises in the near future... and I suspect that most of us are looking forward to that. The Brimorians (from so many sides). The assassins sent after the secret Lionesses. The assassins sent after Maria and the rest of Calara's family. The daughters of Matriarch Baelora. The former Admirals of the High Command. Larn'kelnar & Ailanthia. and not to be left out, most especially, perhaps, John & the girls.

thank you tefler that was aepik

a epik chapter

LunarLilith

@tefler - Just a crazy thought to toss out there... since the crew hasn't been able to spend much time on Jericho, what are the chances that Faye could figure out how to temporarily drop the temp in the lagoon. Create some fake snow for snowball fights, ice skating on the frozen lake, etc. It could be a great way to relax without leaving the Invictus.

Jim lynch

Loved it I found it a nice change of pace. I think John needs to start feeding Dana much more if it only took half a day for her to get new tech she might even get a soul forge before the day is out.

I downloaded the update but it didn't have any changes 69 pages on both copies

Denis

“For the last six months, I’ve been wallowing in guilt and regret about the best decisions I’ve ever made.” He looked at each of them in turn. “Thank you, for finally making me understand the truth.” - Cringeworthy. Yikes.

VycronDyz

Thanks Tef for another Great Chapter. Love all the intrigue arcs. I have concern with the Digital Defenses. “The defensive subsystems are fully integrated with the hardware. We were able to create the necessary code as per the blueprints, but I’ve no idea what half of it does.” “The attack routine for the Data Sentinels is listed as ‘Neutralise hostiles’...” This got me thinking about Wrath of Khan, when Kirk transmits the code to drop the shields on Khan's ship. Can they trust that the Progenitor Server would see any attacks by LK as hostile. Are there any Progenitor backdoors that can be exploited. They know so little about the tech they are using. Perhaps, with Irillith and Faye having some Digital "Wargames" they could discover any vulnerabilities or develop some new wrinkles to add to their defenses.

BigWooSon

Dana is/was working on a device to enable physic communication, the Bolon already have such a device to allow their robot to speak for them. Have I missed something?

John P

This may be a stupid question and feel free to ignore it if it is, but are you planning to publish a no-smut version of this story at any point? I love the story and you write the smut just as well as the rest of it (even if the dialogue goes into porn territory at times) but sometimes I just want to read the space opera without the sex interruption.

David Shmilowitz

Was just sitting here pressing F5 hoping for final version of 118 when I noticed that the community tab seems to have disappeared. Has anyone else had the same thing happen? Is it supposed to be gone (patreon changing format again, maybe)? hoping for answers, any info would be appreciated.

Taco1085

i can see my community tab...

Zoconja

so this will be finalized?

Tefler

I've updated the post with the final version. :-)
