*** EDITED - FINAL VERSION - 3rd May - fixed a few typos. ***

Hey everyone!

I've finished editing both halves of Chapter 130 (~60k words) and have combined them together as it will appear on the free sites. 

I added a few minor bits and pieces as well as fixed the typos and grammar mistakes. Please let me know if you spot any errors I might have missed!

Cheers

Tefler

CJ Mora

Thank you so much for your work, sir Tefler. As a healthcare professional, these past few weeks have been the equivalent of astral nightmares for me. Im not asking you to hurry up and churn out new chapters, by any means, please take your time. I’ll gladly wait. I want you to know that TSM has been a beacon of light for me since i discovered it a nearly a year ago. I love the story, all the characters, the invictus crew and also the villains are masterfully crafted. I wish you and your crew nothing but the very best of health and happiness the galaxy has to offer.

God, I love long chapters, 167 pages like a book in word is pure bliss

Weekend reading! Thank you, Tefler!

thank You Tefler

Tefler, I've been going through older chapters and the start of 117 seems off. The first paragraph is just "# mention of Maliri ground assault.", did you forget to put something in there? Having said that, thank you for this latest chapter :)

Earlier (1March), I noted that waaaay back (circa 70pg14 and earlier) there is mention of duplicating the copy of Nexus server (Faye's host) at Invictus gateways, etc. around the ship. The Invictus-Node-Collective is using one, but apparently thats the only one and thus no distribution of Meta-Faye... oh well. Also wondering why none of the girls have commented on the Organic Computers used by Kirrix, which were accessible by Illirth and psychically by the Hive Queens (and presumably Alyssa). Perhaps that tech might inspire them to build an organic gateway for I-N-C and Faye 2.0 ?

Also, try adding a suffix to file as you download it, like combo, if it automatically downloads, change your browser settings to "ask file location before downloading", hope that helps!!!

Yay! I was planning on doing a reread of Ch. 130. Not that I needed an excuse, but this gives me one more reason to reread.

wondering how John will fare when they go get Larn’kelnar’s thrall ships. He will be out from under protection of the Shroud and exposed to Xar’aziuth et al.

“We got the introductions out the way earlier.” —> “We got the introductions out of the way earlier.” I skipped most of the items that appeared to be simply British usages, but I couldn’t find this one when I was looking it up. Excellent LONG chapter, Tefler! I really enjoyed reading it all again!

Guy House

By British usage do you mean proper English? 😜

Rhys

LOL, shall we start the next round of everyones' favorite guessing game: When do they think the next chapter will drop, this month or the next? heh heh......

Lee Sherman

In ch 130 Calara says "Feel free to get stuck in" during breakfast, shouldn't that be "Feel Free to Tuck in"? as in the below definition: The Oxford English Dictionary says the verb tuck (often tuck in or tuck into) meaning "to eat heartily or greedily" is from 1810. The simpler sense "to consume or swallow food or drink" is from 1784, and means to 'put away', 'put out of sight' Or am i missing something, and it a British thing? just curious.

Ken Ridley

Nope it's a british slang. Also the Aussies would say" Tucka" meaning food. ei: get a bit of tucka.

Tefler

Regarding American pronunciations being the same as the original English accent, I've heard that before too, but as Guy House said, it seems unlikely. There's a huge variation of accents in America, but far more in the UK. At the bare minimum there's a north/south divide on a bunch of words: Bath, grass, ask, tooth etc are pronounced very differently. If you google them and click for a pronunciation, you'll hear the "Queen's English" (southern) version of those words. Here's an example (for grass). (Scottish - similar to Birmingham upwards... rhymes with ass): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_aXzcwFOV8 (Queen's English - the South... rhymes with arse): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8Juzkhq9Ls

I still see 22 instances of lower case dad instead of Proper noun title case Dad. These are not generic instances of dads being mentioned in general but of specific dads being mentioned. I think caps were okay five or six times. Not trying to be too nitpicky, just something I noticed. ...still my favorite story.

I don't what it is but the Tom framed for treason subplot just bugs me.
