Hey everyone,

As discussed in the previous post, I'll be charging for this one as a "payment in advance" for chapter 144. Thanks to all of you for your kind words of support!

I thought I'd include a bonus on this post, so I added my character glossary. I refer to this frequently when writing TSM and it includes some of my notes about the individual places or characters in the story.

Anyone scored through is dead!

WARNING! There could be some mild spoilers in this document. I've gone through it and removed some of the more glaring ones, but I might have missed something. 

I hope you enjoy reading it.

002…..Tefler you rock!!!!

Sir Bad Wolf

This is awesome and very much appreciated, but I can't bring myself to open this file in case there is the slightest spoiler. I love your work waaaaaay to much to take the risk, at least until a braver soul confirms there isn't a risk! Still, extremely grateful and as always I look forward to the next installment!

Garry

Nice valu-add bro. Much appreciated.

TF007

Worth the money…only one little spoiler I noticed but it’s hard to put it in context and will be a few chapters away. Nice seeing Tefler’s character’s, locations, and technical information in one spot. Doesn’t seem to have been updated recently since it said Calara was a Commander. Worth the money.👍👍

TF4EVA

pppfffff sorry indeed! this list is gold. I think I spotted one potential 'spoiler' now my mind is running wild and like fan boy 007, believe context is soooo important.... thank you for this and look forward to the next two chapters

BrianM

Thank you very much for the Character Glossary. Super useful resource!

Evan

Thank you, Tefler! Very interesting reading!

Bp Hlpt

Thanks, Tefler!

Whoriar

Someone is going to be updating the wiki soon I guess

Jedi Khan

Yup. Spotted one name that we've never seen before. Gonna be interesting to see the reveal in story for that one.

Michael56Smith

.9: Okay, who, what, when, and where is this new Asshat -- "Wael'rakash" ?? was he one of the conquests of Larn'kelnar (in his trophy room),..? Or is this a new evil and cruel Asshat that John and the girls must soon reduce to room temperature? huh? '-) TTFN

shelleycat

Really excited to see this, thanks

Matt

I noticed one and possible two spoilers. I also noticed an error. You have Faye name crossed out. I know she's not gone because they will bring her back. So yeah you crossing that name off is mean, evil, and vile cause it makes people think she's gone gone. (I will keep my irrational optimism she will be back until you type the words "The End")

TF007

For me personally, this glossary was worth the charge. If you want to charge for 144 I would not be against it😁. Tefler you might want to take a poll to see how everyone else feels.

Robert Bryan

I would like a pronunciation guide on all the names

Kenneth W. Dodson

Chapter 143 you could hope that if you say the name of their late master and ask for a parlay and if they listen then inform them of all that has happened until now including John claiming the Milari sending them all the videos and Doc's supporting this, telling them you are the desendents of Mael and that the one's that killed their Master is your Enemy too! let them see the twinswithout their helmets on to reinforce this then see if Little foot can show them Faye to see if they can help

Teun Segers

Jade going out of action in the middle of action is becoming a pattern: Slept through the rescue of Niskera, went AWOL during the battle of Terra and now she froze up. The current situation does provide a very setup to advance her arc, interested to see how it plays out. Hopefully she'll be a bit more reliable after this.

Michael56Smith

.43: Yeah, that TSM Character Glossary, will really need some major league up dating on all of the Nymphs soon, as well as all the refit of Invictus and the Auxiliaries info,.. ;-) TTFN

TF007

Now that the raptor is thoroughly destroyed, how about they build their own custom gun ship? They can make one that is stronger faster and more deadlier with all the new technology. They can use it as a test bed before they make their new Auxiliary ship/destroyer.😁

Dan Ferguson

Looking forward to the next installment, your stories kind of remind of my childhood (late 40s) in San Francisco. I used tog go to the movies in Saturday, cost 25 cents. Got to features, a cartoon, news reel and a serial-usually a cliff hanger-so you had to come back every week to see what happened. Your stories are something like that at times but I love them. I may have to go back to the beginning and start again!

Who Me

I abso-positively LOVE the Character Glossary! Well Done!

bjcreek

Already knew from reading so far that the Maliri were a ton to keep up with. Now I can see they are several tons to keep up with, and rapidly expanding. Hats off to you, Tefler!

DemonHunterCole

So, the ultimate question… did anyone spot any spoilers in this?

Teun Segers

Ch107, Underworld "The disconcerting lightshow stopped as suddenly as it started, the amber illumination briefly revealing a tan-coloured figure that scuttled away, disappearing into another darkened area." I would love it if Tefler revisited the Enshunu and the Achonin. So many tantalizing hints made, but no closure in sight.

It is getting to the point I am expecting the rest of 143 to be published. I absolutely didn't mind helping Tefler out. But he did make a promise in return. And it will burn him later if he procrastinates. That isn't a threat from me. I don't mind helping him out. But others may be less forgiving and I would hate to see any ramifications from that perceived breach of trust.

Nonconformist

when Tefler made the ask I took it to mean that the rest of the chapter as well as the next would be in late October. That was how I read the info in his request.

raymond sisko

I plan to give him the time to do what he needs to do. After all he's only human not John!😂 I'm the patient type.

jdg45

71 Errata and spoiler? * UWS-01 Strike Valkyrie Ultra (Ultima Weapon System) – 20m Ch. 78 Arriving at her destination, Dana flipped a switch to shift from flight mode to battle mode and landed the thirty-metre-tall mecha on the vast silvery hull of the Legacy. * Raptor – 30m Ch. 20 The gunship was big for a ship of its class, measuring 40 metres in length... * And the spoiler is the AI listed as dead at 2 months old. Then there is "/10k+"! That age can only be the AI on Kythshara. And as Daphne has all the notes and records left then maybe we are about to witness a reincarnation? Of course the requisitioned AI will have to adapt and agree to join the crew - so maybe there will be some differences?

TF007

SPOILER ALERT!!! Ok now that I have given people who have not read the glossary proper notice, the only spoiler I noticed that has not happened yet was were it talked about Kali’s assassins. Avelissa and Renaya (House Loraleth assassins – Kali orders them to protect Helene). Without context we don’t know why they were needed to protect Helene. There is a bunch of possibilities but I think it will be when Helene is trying to help her people that were rescued by the Maliri.😁

Teun Segers

A possible solution for the Abandoned issue would be a role reversal. The abandoned (renamed the Arisen?) become the rulers of the Enclave and the Brimorians become subservient to them as penance. It solves the infrastructure and transportation issues (you simply can't move billions of people in a meaningful time frame with the technology available). The Brimorians can help with education and keep the Enclave running... And farm some kelp of course.

Michael56Smith

.94: Wow!,.. you guys are Really talking about playing God with two separate Alien species,.. and I think that the Shrouds effect on Kirrix Grubs is to free them from the powerful and over controlling minds of their lazy, ignorant brood mothers,.. and the bugs don't know how to raise independently an minded brood of young bugs, so they kill them,.. the Shroud could have been a real evolutionary gift to the Kirrix, but they could not, would not change,.. bugs! :-) TTFN

Teun Segers

I very much like TF007's the idea of restoring the Vulkat. I'm not really on-board with using the Kirrix to that end. They ideologically opposed and aside from both being psychic really have little in common. If Rachel could scrape DNA from deceased Vulkat to use as a base for enough genetic diversity for a new generation of pure Vulkat would be a more fitting solution imho. She could use Mael's clone lab (which they're probably about to find) to grow new specimens.

DemonHunterCole

This post has 99 comments, but an update ain’t one. Hit me.

Michael56Smith

.100: I really liked Tef's glossary,.. well worth the extra charge on Sept's monthly bill,.. I have a messy, notebook with some of the same types of info in it, but not nearly as neatly organized,.. but Tef really needs a handy reference like that considering the size and scope of Three Squire Meals,.. my notebook is mainly useful to me when I need to check the spelling of TSM related items for this comment section,.. but then after typing Mael'nerak or Bael'thelas a few dozen times you begin to remember them,.. I expect with the gang exploring Kythshara and then recovering Larn'kelnar's dead fleet of battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, that I'll need to make more messy notes of new things to spell and make a reference to (like something to help restore our Faye). ;-) TTFN

matthew

i cant wait to find out more about Wael’rakash thrals it says black meaning black skin so when john makes them his the hair turns white they look like drow elves so hot

TF007

Random subject- when the wedding takes place on Oceanas John needs to have them design the island so there is a small island (100m x 100m) next to the main island that’s all flat for Progenitor training. It will be connected to the main island by an elevated walkway. There will be many guests and probably some admirals so John and Sakura could give a full demonstration of progenitors doing battle. Jack and his sons will be shocked. Maria will get horny😁. The admirals will finally understand what they are going up against and be glad John is on their side. Maybe Maria will cash in her “free pass” the night before the wedding and Jack will be distracted by a bunch of horny Maliri that think he’s hot.🤣. Just a random idea.

Teun Segers

Random thought (never going to happen): John converts a Kirrix queen who can then procreate normally again. All variants look lot less nightmarish. They become part of his alliance. The Ashanath can talk to the drones. Drones become Ashanath mounts. Silver cowboy hats optional.

DemonHunterCole

Well, it’s the 16th and no update from Tefler. I’m going to assume he hasn’t changed his schedule to accommodate this financial emergency and we won’t get the second half of this chapter until the end of the month.

Mervyn Russell

let the man take his time it’s worth the wait

TF007

Ok, the first payment this month was for the first part and Tefler doesn’t charge for the second when he finishes the chapter. Now a lot of people seem upset about the second payment and seem to think that the second payment would speed up the pace of the second part. I can understand people’s frustration and I know what Tefler said in his post asking for permission for the second payment, but at the time we didn’t think we would get anything for the second payment. However Tefler surprised us with the glossary and in my opinion it was worth the second payment. But originally Tefler indicated the second payment was for 144 so I understand why some people are anxious and cranky expecting 2 chapters this month however that is not a realistic time frame for the quality of work we have come to love from Tefler. I think people need to take a step back and not rush Tefler into putting something out we don’t like. Plus once finished, he still needs his editors to go through it and that takes time too. On top of all his hard work he is also dealing with structural problems with his house and the stress that goes with it. Please don’t add more stress to Tefler during this time. If Tefler fails to come through with his ambitious time frame then next time he asks for help you are free to say no. Me personally the $2 I pay per chapter is not going to break me. Tefler was upfront at the beginning that this was a stressful time. To Tefler: please don’t rush to put out unfinished work if you are not happy with it. Thank you for all your hard work on TSM.

Michael56Smith

.128 : Yes, that is so right, and I agree with TF007, that the glossary was worth the 2nd payment,.. so we have not been cheated,.. and reading Tef's request to his fans, yeah, we could expect a #143, part 2 by this time,.. but he is Tefler, a little bit late is on time for him,.. and we still might get more than just part 2 before the month is out (fingers crossed), so be of good cheer,.. And with our political leadership making mistake after mistake, we will be stuck at home for quite a while, so we might as well enjoy a good erotic space adventure,.. I plan on doing so. ;-) TTFN

Shep

To be honest, my expectations were set with the last part of the 143 part 1 post, as in: "I'll wrap up the rest as quickly as I can.". I am happy that the rest of chapter 143 is coming, anything from 144 would just be a bonus - As I have said numerous times, I am happy to be patient because the story is compellingly good. If Tefler rushed to finish everything then it WOULD show in the writing. I don't think any of us would be as invested in the storyline as we are if Tef didn't wait till HE was happy before posting the updates...

Lee Sherman

Just had a random thought, what if? Resettlement of the Abandoned to to outer rim colonies hit by the bugs? They provide the labor, federation supplies the raw resources and with multiple worlds to settle on, reintegration to their ancestors society, building/adding infrastructure, it might be a win for everyone.

20 ton

The malari have many planets with oceans and much of their cuisine involved fish. With the declining population the must be sufficient living space in port cities throughout the protectorate. My feeling is there are far less Abandoned the first estimated due to trade with the bugs. The problem with this theory is Helene would have been sent off long ago unless she were protected by the elders.

Teun Segers

Random thought: Would the Brimorians make good sushi? (feel free to interpret this in multiple ways).

Michael56Smith

.148: And I have saved back a jug of 100 proof 'Kool-Aid',.. and I have a readable copy of 'Tefler Maniacs' lyrics, and I'm not afraid to start belching out a tune (mostly off key, of course),.. so beware if at least the TSM#143, part two doesn't drop soon, I may bust out the old shtick! so watch it! ;-) TTFN

chris riley

looking forward to 143 part 2 but want 144 asap lol

Robster

I dont think 144 will be this month as "expected" ... Perhaps 143 dot 2 if we are Lucky.

Teun Segers

Patreon updated the app. Dark mode is nice. Non-indented replies are not so nice.

Michael56Smith

,156: Regarding TSM chapters #143 and #144; on 30 Sept Tef posted both the TSM #143, part one and his TSM Glossary, and if he hadn't raised any expectations for October, then us getting TSM #143, part two at the end of the month would have been our only anticipation,.. so far we have gotten an 'extra' with the Glossary,.. and maybe we still might see TSM #144 earlier than at first thought,.. right? Tef could still surprise us with 'more' at months end,.. maybe,.. I do wish he had a secretary or helper that would pass on updates for him, it would certainly cut down on fan anxiety. (hic,.. burp!) ;-) TTFN

Rouge Dions

Good Evening new patron here. I can't find 141 part 2 . Can anybody post the link . Thank you

Mick Peaper

The way things are at the moment Tefler owes us 1 and a half chapters, the money he makes has been spent on building work and at his present output he will be having a very quiet Christmas with no income until January.

Mick Peaper

let us really hope so, I love the book and I want Tefler to have a great christmas.

Teun Segers

I think a reasonable course of action preceding the current situation would have been: Put up a poll on Patreon to gauge how his backers felt about an upfront payment. Not all his backers are on Discord and certainly not at some arbitrary point in time.

bjcreek

I'm new to this, so please bear with me. I have the comments set for newest to oldest, but that doesn't seem to work out. Unless comments that are recent enough to fall into some kind of "batch" are clustered, but sorted oldest to newest? And then the remainder are sorted newest to oldest? There does seem to be an indistinct box around the most recent group. But it still doesn't make any sense to me to deviate from just a straight-forward "newest to oldest". Thanks, and I apologize for the confusion on my part.

TF007

Oh where, oh where has our Tefler gone, oh where oh where can he be. 😩😢. Holding out for end of the month for part 2 of 143 and part 1 of 144. We just need to have faith that Tefler will reward us soon for our continued support. If you don’t have anything positive to add go complain somewhere else. We need more people to post random, crazy, stupid, and totally off the wall ideas so we can help kick start Tefler’s brain. So on that note. When John meets the AI controlling the robots and defenses I believe it will be female and she will be lonely and Daphne will help somehow. Also the AI will probably tell John it’s purpose was to protect Valada but when it finds out it failed because Mael didn’t update her DNA for the scanner it will be upset. In the end John will probably end up leaving the planet with very little and have to wait to see if this new AI will choose to help the Maliri.🤔😁

TF007

Random thought - in chapter 109 Sakura pilots the valkyrie into battle equipped with solid shield matrix. The shield matrix gives ships hard shields so how does she land and walk on the dreadnought and the ground? The shields would prevent the Valkyrie from touching the ground or the ship. It would be like a hamster in a hamster ball. Just a random thought 🤔.

thomas poulsen

would also be kinda nice to see faye return i kinda got a lil attached to that cute sprite of a ai

thomas poulsen

or give her the ability to transfer her data stream through com beacons that she undoubtedly would be able to go through the security systems of, that would be placed on it, And just move it around to several different chassis that she would have available to her by various means aka one chassis on the maliri home world one on the ship etc etc... But will have to wait and see what tefler decides to do and doesnt do... only time will tell!

thomas poulsen

naw faye isnt the server she is a product of the maliri hacker deck that was left alone on the ships servers to spy for irilith initially so cant really call her "her own server" as she was growing up in the invictus internal database or "cyber realm" i believe it was called at some point in the story iirc

thomas poulsen

yea she needed a server she came from the hacking deck but faye in herself is not a server as previously stated unless i read that completely wrong :) you wrote .190: Or servers in all those places, remember, Faye is the server and not the chassis,.. no matter how cute it is,.. like I say, much more and better back up this time! - Faye, come back Faye!!! ;-) TTFN doesnt that mean you are calling her a server in that post m8 :)?

thomas poulsen

faye can never be the server she is an Artificial intelligence meaning she can communicate with electronic devices ect, but that does not make her into a server that would be like calling a car an airplane

thomas poulsen

no im not michael :) im just saying you cannot call faye a server as you did in your previous post that is all im saying :)

Teun Segers

Theory: The nymphs are a replacement for the vats (as described on Larns dreadnought). They could pleasantly obtain the goods and then be used to transport it. They even come with an efficient delivery mechanism. Idea does not address: gun aversion, why they were retired (would imply that Mael stopped recruiting, which would be odd), memory wipes, etc.

Rich-Melanie DeNicola

Remind me to only read stories that are finished. I binged read this and now that I’m caught up I can’t stand the wait.

Michael Cummings

You could always do what a lot of TSM followers do and reread! I have reread the series at least four time from chapter one on and several times from different start points!!!!

TF007

Finally Found it- For awhile now I have been looking for the name of the device that Dana mentioned that would help supply enough power to support using all the weapons (including quantum flux cannons), progenitor shields, and cloaking device at the same time. I finally found it- Quantum Power Augmenter. During the ship refit this piece of tech is a must. Just think, the Invictus cloaked and shielded being able to attack thrall ships using quantum flux cannons, quantum disintegrators, and tachyon lances. Larn used his cloaked and shielded Dreadnought to fire on a Terran Dreadnought at regulus and cutting Invictus in half.

Michael56Smith

.234: ,.. will this be an upgrade, a refit, or a complete redo or makeover? They'll need to change, improve, add, so many differing and powerful pieces of equipment. And Dana said she'd need to redo to front of the ship to accommodate certain weapon systems,.. And with the ultra strong White metal and hopefully the use of the Star Forges,.. this time the Invictus is really gonna be some kind of Beast! (a Star Beast) Can I have a Hallelujah? ;-) TTFN

TF007

My biggest fear is they leave without the warp gate and then John will have to talk to his father to get access to his. Not that it would be bad for them to talk, I just want them to move forward and start wrapping up story lines.

Michael56Smith

.241: With all the myriad loose ends TSM has right now, even before we get any more from this risky mission,.. it might well take several more years (real world time) for Tef to wind this story down,.. except for the pieces he still needs left open for the sequel,.. i.e. : the ancient Achonin, the Enshunu, the Shroud,.. the Abandoned,.. the list goes on and on,.. and will Tom Walker be resolved in TSM or the sequel? oh well, can't hardly wait,.. ;-) TTFN
