*** EDITED (4th November) - I added another 7k words to finish the chapter! ***

Hey everyone!

I'll keep this short because it's late and I know you guys are waiting for the next chapter!

Here are the next 30k words for chapter 126, which makes up the second half of this double-sized chapter. There are still a couple more scenes I want to write, which should add another 2k words or so to the overall chapter length. I'll finish those off tomorrow and add them on to the end.

Once I've done an editing pass of both chapter sections, I'll combine them together in another post for the complete 60k+ word chapter (for free obviously!).

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Evan

Thank you, Tefler!

Jeff Eaton

Damn. It will be hard, but I'm going to wait for the extra scenes.

PwdRacing

Timing is perfect!

commatoes

YAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!

Evan

for the severest cases us an intravenous rehydration solution -> for the severest cases use an intravenous rehydration solution

Jim

You know that it is good writing when people act as if they are going into withdrawals when they have to wait for the next installment! Thanks for this... I can't say that I am in story withdrawal, but I know and enjoy creative writing.

Ken Moreau

No spoilers, but Tefler, you need to be both totally proud and thoroughly ashamed of yourself. "It must be a robot thing" is applause and groan-worthy at the same time. Very, very well done... :-)

Bp Hlpt

Thanks, Tef!

Timothy Lucas

Actually swiped 5 times when I reached the end....till I saw the word count at the bottom and was like dam....now I gotta go to bed to get up in 3 hours:-/ Amazing job as always!

Kensyi

Hate you Tefler, hit the end of the chapter and couldn't scroll any more. Amazing job as always, there were a few mistakes I saw, nothing too jarring for a read but I didn't think to write them down, but as always people will probably beat me to posting them for you. The crew does seem to get pulled in so many directions. I want them to be able to make a plan and go with it. Also love the Larnaren(?) part as well I hope they become part of John's group.

Jason Darbe

Great work tef now just have to wait till next chapter but must say wod be interesting if we end up getting a new young matriarch

Jedi Khan

Very nice Tefler. I'm liking the path Rachel's research is going. Fits very nicely with a theory I had come up with a long while ago as to how Faye can become a real girl. Looking forward to the final scenes you're going to add, as well as all future chapters.

Lawrence Hyde

The Terran girls led her over to the walk-in-wardrobe [walk-in wardobe] “John’s acts [John acts] differently when we do it that way,” Calara said with a wistful smile. “This is the final act of submission that lets John know you’re ready to bear his children,” Jade murmured, her fingers reaching out to caress Helene’s toned stomach. “... just like all of us.” ["Just like all of us."]

ringill

Spotted a couple of things, A huge grin broke out on her face. “Wait, I haven’t finished! Stephanie from Oceanus was gorgeous... That should be Felicity, turns out Stephanie was the hostess at the Infinity nightclub on Gravitus in chapter 19. There's also a normal/telepathic speech mismatch. *I’m afraid there’s no new development on the ringleaders behind the assassination attempts,” the Fleet Admiral replied.

a Norman knight

Tefler, great chapter! I found some suggested edits for Chapter 126, part 2, and some may have been mentioned by others already; however, they are as follows: Page 3: “I never really appreciated just how much hanging around there is before these kind(s) of sessions.”; Page 6: John paused, letting her get adjust(ed) to the massive penetration. “Does that hurt?”; Page 47: The long(-)range sensors would be totally insane...; Page 48: (L)osing John would be horrific enough, but to be the one who was forced to kill him?; Page 51: “Well the energy lattice and the capacitors will still work,” Dana said with a(n) optimistic smile.; Page 55: “What bone( )headedness are you referring to in particular?”; Page 60: “As much as I want to blame my guide for deliberately wrecked(ing) that meeting with my father,; Page 70: “This system(s) must be compatible with the Kirrix, because Nkkrrit traded tech with them.”; As always, if you disagree, I completely understand. Good luck with Chapter 127. Thank you and Cheers!

prsstarid

When John's parents finally meet back up with him, I'm wondering who will bring up Alyssa modification of Jessica? She knows Rahn tried to break her mind shield and he knows she is the one that put it there. Perhaps neither will say anything for fear that John or Jessica will be upset. My money is Alyssa will have to come clean as Jessica's radical personally shift will be noticed by John and he would become suspicious of Jessica change and not believe its real unless Alyssa comes clean. I doubt Jessica will be unhappy about being back in control of herself.

thomas rodrian

I suspect he already knows. Question for him though, does it matter since he cannot do anything about the situation.

prsstarid

The scene with Auralei in the nursery on Larnorin got me to wondering if the baby was Larn’kelnar progenitor son or just a male Larathyran. He kind of had the disposition of a male progenitor by peeing on her and laughing about it. But what would John do with young adolescent male progenitors? At what age do they sell their souls to Xar'aziuth? Are they redeemable in brought under the shroud and raised in a loving environment? I can’t see John wiping out children even if they are male progenitors but he has vowed to kill them all before they can harm future generations. What do you guys think?

Schwiing

John just needs to prevent these young progenitors from having BJs.

Tefler

I'm still working on them, but I'll call it a night for now. The final scene is the entire point of the double-sized chapter, so I don't want to rush it. :-)

Stuhero

Great chapter, Mahalo nui loa!

Taco1085

wow, this is a amazing chapter. You covered so much in the story and closed a few cliffhangers and set up the path for further development in others. Can't wait for the additional story to get updated.... this is one amazing story.

Kensyi

Is this the updated file?

Nick White

Bastards and your spoilers , I'm trying to be patient and wait till he has it all up . Lol now I might have to read it then wait and re read it

AlyxHaestrom

So Good! I've been rereading from the beginning and it's amazing how far the story has progressed. You are a Master Wizard Tefler.

Mark Cheng

Great chapter Tef! On a separate point, I just went to buy the e-books and Amazon said I couldn't buy them cos I'm in Australia. This was for the 4 book pack. Is that something you can fix?

Dusty

Work Order request for Environmental Systems.

Assembler Maniac

Minor edit, "fully tummy" => "full tummy" in the Alyssa regrets section

Jostikas

There's a continuity error, Tefler. Alyssa didn't develop Warp Tunneling. It's been acknowledged as part of Terran military SOP several times, and at least I understood Alyssa having learned it as part of her Navigator First Class course. The Lizardmen were able to set up a trap for Buckingham's fleet because they knew that they would likely be slingshotting around Alpha Leonis (IIRC) on the way back to Dragon March

Jostikas

Unless it was Alyssa's thesis work (and I understood that course to be one ending with a vocational exam, not a science degree), and the Terran military being exceptionally fast in updating the training of every Navigator in the fleet...

Jeff Eaton

I'm holding off on readying the next installment till the last two scenes are added.... crossing fingers that's soon.

Tefler

I've written 3.5k more words so far, but not quite finished. I'll update it tomorrow as soon as I can! :)

asher farmer

loving the story, still get a lump in my throat when reminded of faye and got teary in this chapter with her

Kensyi

Love what the Node Collective did for Faye and John

Grimlakin

Faye will be back damnit if John has to create her in a new shell he will. Though I think pulling that off would also Creep John right the fuck out. Lol.

Kensyi

Just finished reading ch. 120 and that by far has been the most difficult chapter to read so far in this entire series. Faye 'dying' is the worst thing that has happened. Even some of other terrible stuff that has gone on isn't near as bad. Bring her back.

Robert Hawk

Rachel's cloning discovery along with the collectives memories is what is needed to make Faye a real girl not just bring her back and I am pretty sure that was what she wanted anyway.

Kensyi

As well as figuring out how to let her still be a part of the Node Collective

Nonconformist

Ok folks, I'm still waiting for the complete chapter before reading. It's 4:45 here so it should be 9:45 where Tefler is. He commented last night that he should be posting today but I don't think he has. This is still the incomplete chapter isn't it?

Tefler

I've just updated the post with the new version of the chapter. It includes a number of edits and minor corrections... as well as 7k words in several new scenes. I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Tefler

To find the new scenes, search for: *Okay get ready, this is the last piece,*

Tyler Poore

Wow.... that additional scene is WILD

Who Me

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Evan

bolt all four corner to -> bolt all four corners to

Kensyi

I'm very saddened because of that last scene, I really don't know what is going to happen now and I eagerly await your next masterful chapter.

David B

Oh well one less house / as there is no way that this daughter will be allowed to stay as the matriarch of this house

David B

As if John and the girls did not have enough issues on their plate to deal with - now they have this crazy daughter and potentially all the daughters of every house - except for the ones that were already brought under John’s control

MaydaysSin

Ooooh my! I thought the old ending to be just good. But this vicious twist? Nice to see how a transition from the old to the new ways is not easy after thousands of years. it feels more realistic tat way!

John Thayer

With the psychic connection that Estelle has the severe distress should have been responded to immediately when the fork incident occurred. Very interesting.

prsstarid

I am hoping she at least has some compassion for her youngest sister. She is no threat to her but I am not holding my breath.

SomeYoungGuy

Great twist at the end! Really interested in seeing how this plays out. The assimilation of the Maliri seemed to be going a little too peacefully and smoothly lately anyway 😜.

The Wicked Duke

Oh, that new ending was *fantastic*! Interesting times, oh my yes...

Arrowglass

WHOA...the Master Storyteller does it again!!!!!!!!

Nick White

I love how he slipped the answer into this chapter on how he will bring faye back as well

Brian

The twist at the end was to be expected. There were enough hints that something like this was coming. What cannot be guessed at is what John and Edraele will do about it. I do agree with an earlier comment, Edraele should have been alerted sooner and got there before the email notice went out. That was an awful lot of work for a marginal improvement in Invictus speed. 107% means it goes .07 times faster. I’m not sure what was intended but to say 7 times as fast would be 700%.

ringill

Well that is now the Macbeth of chapters! Meanwhile, spotted a normal/telepathic speech mismatch, Alyssa winked and turned to face the Invictus. “Dana, can you set up some magnetic fields for me please?* she asked, using the comms interface, so he could overhear their discussion.

a Norman knight

Tefler, on the first test, they are using a blue star. As an amateur astronomer, I think the sentence on page 84 that goes "Rocketing away from the fiery golden orb, the shaking began to ease as suddenly as it had started." Would change to "the fiery blue white orb," or just "the fiery blue orb," might be more descriptively accurate.

Big Dude

Wouldn't Genna's death be felt by Edraele?

a Norman knight

Tefler, I had posted these chapter edits earlier on this year, and I noticed looking back at your final versions that they were missed somehow. A suggested edit for Chapter 121, is as follows: Page 125: Her lip curled in distaste as she picked up Larn’kelnar’s severed hand and (prized or pried) the black rod from his gauntleted fingers.; an edit for Chapter 122, are is follows: Page 31: *I didn’t have time (to make an) or for an exact count. There were dozens...*; and a couple suggested edits for Chapter 123, are as follows: Page 60: *I could made (make) diplomatic overtures to High Command suggesting an alliance?* Edraele quickly suggested. Page 70: “What the fuck was that?!” Dana blurted out, he(y)r eyes wide. Might want to add them to your list to check on before these get published.

a Norman knight

Tefler, I had also posted these suggested edits for Chapter 126, part 1, and was not sure whether you saw them as well; however, they are as follows: Page 35: The air itself felt alive and responsive to Jade's will, then almost impossibly (impossible) for a creature of that gargantuan size, her draconic form was airborne.; Page 38: It also seems quite apparent that the Brimorians are methodically conquering all the systems (enroute) to Kinta rather than rushing to take the homeworld.; Page 50: John nodded, finally get(ting) an idea of the scale of the problem.; Page 55: an instant before a thunderous explosion ripped the black saloon (sedan) apart, hurling chunks of flaming wreckage across the underground carpark.; Page 73: Part of me desperately wants (to) believe(s) you...; Page 74: “He treated me like I (was) a fool!.

thomas rodrian

Thanks Tefler, I am still reading the chapter but just wanted to say thank you and post one comment. I expected you to reveal finding Faye’s data files and it is nice to get that resolved. Unfortunately, there is still confusion between data and code. Code is the application you call Faye that uses data to make decisions. As you imply in the story, data is nothing more than historic information but then you have Rachel refer to the files as code. Just like we use our memories to determine what to do in any given situation, an AI application uses its data files to predict appropriate next steps and then choses the one with the highest probability of success to implement. This just my pet peeve, so please don’t take offence. Almost every internet author confuses code and data, so it is an understandable misconception.

ClarasBestFriend

Okay so someone said earlier that Tef slipped in a hint about how Faye is going to be restored... How???

Big Dude

The Faye restoration process has to have some semblance of reality! Otherwise the whole Faye "reborn" premise will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out there people!

Big Dude

How will Sarinia get rid of the bodies? Inquiring minds wanna know! Also, doesn't Edraele know of every transmission off of Genthalas since she controls the station?

Metheus108

I know that people will say this is silly, but why would John have to take any time out of his day to teach Alyssa the runes? She is constantly listening to his thoughts, cant she just have him visualize the runes and what they mean and then 'learn' that way? Its all thoughts and willpower anyway

keen_FlattendHedgeHog

stars change color (blue-golden) at engine test. blood is blue at the end, not red. (unless you want the Maliri blushing dark blue instead of purple)?

Taco1085

I had a feeling Sarinia was up to something.... wow what an ending and the Invictus the fastest ship in the galaxy... let papa Rahn catch up to him now.... wow

Kensyi

So I know it is supposed to have been a few days maybe a week at most, but we still have not covered the whole Tash picking up Larn's Staff.

A Human

Great chapter Tefler! Looks like that problem John was vexed over of the current matriarchs getting away with centuries of murder and cruelty will take care of itself. Can't wait to get back to Maliri space. What will the consequences of this new speed boost be? Maybe a shockwave that damages nearby ships?

prsstarid

Just thinking about the future when John can go on the offensive after he deals this never ending to do list. If they are going hunting for Progenitors in their home empires or on their dreadnoughts and based on the battle with Larn, what could they do to improve their effectiveness and save the thrall population form being sucked dry? Rahn told Jessica in 126.1 that Larn let his powers declined while he had been away from his empire and they barely defeated him. The others will be much worse. One though I had was all the girls that have offensive psychic abilities should have some kind of runed weapons that amplify their powers at a reduced cost of the pool of power. For example, Sukura’s blades should have the same runes as John's sword. That thing craves killing evil Progenitors and I don’t think we know all the secrets of that yet. I'm betting there is something that he has yet to discover that will eliminate their shields from being an issue anymore. Alyssa, Dana and Rachel (maybe Helene) could have runed Staff’s. There was no mentioned of Helene in the battle against Larn, but what if she could learn to use her powers in the negative like fear or depression similar to what happens on the Astral Plane? This could cause thralls to run for their lives instead of fighting and thereby saving their lives if they could kill the progenitor before he sucks their life out. Carlara, Dana, Tashana and Irillith used guns against Larn, but what if the guns were runed like a staff so they could be using their psychic powers at the same time as they were shooting? Tashana already adds explosive fire to her bullets, could Irillith add electricity? Perhaps as Dana is shooting she could focus while holding the runed rifle and create black holes above a target or Irillith a pylon that shoot electricity like the disintegration pylons? Let’s not forget runed penetrators on all the ammo, could they bypass spinning progenitor shields? Lastly there is Jade and her sisters, what about some psychic jewelry that makes their shapeshifted form more powerful, perhaps runed armored and draw less power from their pools?

wclark57

So, just speculating here, but when Rahn & John next meet, I'm guessing they realize that they're better together and John will learn lots from their collaboration. Also, remember Larn's matriarch asking him if he was going to fill the tanks? I don't think they've discovered how much of his jizz juice is needed to keep their pool of girls going. Larn seemed to lose interest in all that and may have sucked them dry over time. So I think there is going to be many answers addressing your thoughts in the next several chapters. Finally, I thought it curious that they didn't grab Larn's staff. Seems like it could be useful.

Big Dude

wclark57, Actually, Sakura grabbed Larn's staff before they left.

Evan

Posted previously: who needed to bolt all four corner to the Invictus -> who needed to bolt all four corners to the Invictus

prsstarid

Before they begin their assault on the Hive Queen, do you guys think that if they destroy the transmission/receiving antenna's on their Kirrix dreadnought that it will reduce or eliminate the Hive Queen from receiving her collectives powers?

prsstarid

What form of message should John and Alyssa send to the Kirrix collective that believes that its ok to continue these incursions? A hive queen that is a mental vegetable? Perhaps that is dismembered as well? Perhaps with single surviving broodmother to tell them the story? Or Perhaps Alyssa and John can drop into their new mental onclave and deliver it personally?

Big Dude

I think John and Alyssa are way more powerful now and that hive queen will be instant toast when they get close to her! Their last encounter was before his Larn and Rahn experiences and now he has 5 nymphs!

Big Dude

Question for everyone, if Rahn gave John's guide the knowledge of his 10,000 year study of Progenitors, then doesn't the John PG possess all knowledge to fully understand and remove the PG threat?

Big Dude

So for every sun they slingshot around does their speed continue to increase? Do red giants give them more speed than blue ones? Astrophysicists want to know.

Arrowglass

Does hyperdrive far exceed the speed of light or does it warp and/or fold space to traverse the distances they cover? Are they inside a hyperwarp bubble negating the effects of normal space? Why doesn't Einstein's Theory seem to apply when using Alyssa's techniques to sling shot around stars ?

Joshua McNicholas

Am I the only one who has a feeling that time travel is going to make an appearance. With so many deaths and tragic events haunting John. Now Alyssa has this new tunneling technique. I don't think it will be anytime soon but I feel like this is setting up the possibility.

CurtInAtl

Damn! I was sure that Tehlariene was going to end up being one of Queen Edraele's adopted daughters like Kali. Alyssa needs to deal with Sarinia, what a bitch.

A Human

As long as the new Holaris matriarch maintains opening of the wine trade let the bodies hit the floor.

Evan

Really, this was inevitable. Unless John were to exert direct and all-consuming control, the daughters of the Maliri Matriarchs would absolutely revolt against the idea that their mothers who had terrorized and tormented them all their lives, and who only allowed them to live so that they could take over *at such time* as they passed away, that these conditions would potentially continue forever into the future... and that where the previous Matriarchs had been eliminated by the new regime, all but the youngest of the daughters were eliminated with them, well, really, it was too predictable. Of course the eldest daughters of the existing Maliri Matriarchs - especially those who had not yet met John, which would be ALL of them outside of his own girls - would take action to prevent this from happening. I'm only surprised that none of John's Maliri brought this point up to him. Perhaps, though, they didn't want to point out the inevitable consequences of John's interference in the normal course of affairs amongst the Maliri in the hopes of sparing him pain? We'll have to wait and see what's next...

Hughman

As a fan of a well handled Chekhov's gun, I'm still trying to figure out what Faye was seeing on the security cams before she passed away. (ch 120, just before they spotted the wrecks of the dead civilization) Has anyone got a theory? My one theory has probably been rendered moot (that it was a time traveling John slipping in to make a copy of Faye) with this chapter.

David Shmilowitz

Is this the finished version or will more scenes be added to either half of 126 when both are combined together?

prsstarid

Just curious what everyone thinks would be the appropriate punishment for John to administer to the Brimorians for everything that they have done ?

Who Me

Remove ALL space capabilities? Genocide? Make The Abandoned rulers over the Brimorians?

prsstarid

Does anyone think that the tan colored metallic object buried on Karron (in chapter 109) will come into play in book 1? I'm thinking that it is probably a tie in to book 2. I based on the color, it sounds like it is tied to the Achonin and the Enshunu seem to fascinated with their civilization based on their acquiring Underworld/Sarkhon Refinery and activating it's defenses. Tefler has said book 2 is about the Enshunu. What does everyone think?

Cody Strong

I wonder if Allyssa will use the bow wave to wipe out a fleet of ships?

W

So just to be sure. This is the final version? Tefler wrote that he would make a new post with the finished product so I have been waiting for that. Is it safe to assume there will be no more content or rewrites on this chapter and read it. I'm dying over here :P

Kensyi

Isn't Calara's dad and brother waiting for them to show up and give them a ride to Terra?

Michael carney

And there is still a nymph to be rescued from the bossman where Helena was rescued.

CurtInAtl

I don't think we can really consider them " the Kirrix" anymore. There is no central government or organization just a bunch of Hive Queens in every man for himself mode.
