Nice one Tef!

Grimlakin

Doesn't leave a lot of time for 157 lol. Please no pre charges this month.

David Shmilowitz

A good step one, but Tefler needs to have 157 published today as well to keep his promise.

Robster

Hope this isnt an empty chap.... download now

bjcreek

Typo..."Behind her, the thralls on the Command Deck darted confused glance at one another" Should be "glances".

Thanatos95

woo hoo its out. Have you stopped posting on lit and SOL tef? I have been archive diving on lit since its convenient having it all together like that but it hasnet been updated since april.

Brittany I.

There are 2 references to Loraleth that should be Perfaren in relation to Aadya’s ship I believe

Cignal

Thanks Tefler.

The Professor

A good chapter. Better than the last three in my opinion.

Tor Einar Johansen

And so begins the next battle in the campain to end the progenitor treath once and for all.

Evan

So you just need to finishing modifying -> So you just need to finish modifying

Timothy Lucas

Great chapter....Now for the second one...alas I fear more waiting 🤦‍♂️

Evan

You reference a Tactical Officer a few times, then the Second Tactical Officer appears to be killed. Is that the same officer or a different one?

TF007

Miserable rainy day has started off pretty well with one chapter to read. Can’t wait till the rest.

Timothy Workman

“It’s all up to me now to being Faye back” that should be “bring Faye back”

bjcreek

Sentence..."It took considerable amount of effort, but the rotating white rings". Should be "took a considerable". Or leave out "amount of".

Cignal

Great Chapter Tefler

Old Salt

Nice, very nice!

Kensyi

I am currently reading the chapter, but Gal, he saddens me, because I know he has done terrible stuff but like it isn't entirely his fault. Mentally he is a child really, I wish there was a way to redeem him, like I feel bad for the Progenitors cuz like they are victims in this as well.

Cignal

What would happen if John decides to just immobilize Gahl'kalgors Dreadnought by having Dana create a black hole at the Dreadnoughts engines. It wouldn't kill any thralls and it would immobilize the ship. Gahl’kalgor would have to decide to either halt his attack, spilt his forces keeping a few fleets with him while he fixes the ship, or have the thrall fleets keep going leaving him alone. He would probably figure that John has a Dreadnought that is capable of traveling at 5x and split his fleets, This would give John a better chance of attacking the thrall fleets first that kept going and then coming back for the Dreadnought and the remaining thrall ships.

TF007

Chapter 133 was a great chapter for battles of wits with Kintark and Brimorians, I’m hoping we see that type of chapter for 157. Calara’s calm mind working through the problems was great to see in this chapter.

TF007

Spoiler alert…. So there are 29 Fleets (2610 Ships) invading Maliri space. According to John standard operating procedure for progenitor is to attack with 20-30 fleets. With that in mind there is probably only one fleet guarding the hyper warp gate by Arcadia based on this chapter, so they could possibly do a tactical strike on the gate and get away.

Rev. Thwack

5 hours in, and no word on Chapter 157? Well, at least he hasn't posted another placeholder.

TF007

Was surprised Nova lances were not used but then figured out they were trying to copy a progenitor Dreadnought. Would like to know how a progenitor shield would hold up to nova lances. Will also be interesting to see how effective singularity drivers are too.

Phatsuo

Amazing as always. Let the fun begin!

TF007

Was surprised there was no conversation with Daphne at all. She monitors everything now so she would have over heard the crew talking about Faye. 🤔

Azwiz

Finally , the battle has begun . Amazing how much John and company accomplished since the first GAL attack . Let's hope it is enough .

Evan

if i make any -> if I make any

AzureReader

Tef did say he would publish 156 ‘much faster than usual’. The morning of the last day of the month is pretty fast for Tef. It suggests he’s trying to deliver 157 by end of day. Hopefully it’s a complete 157. Partially because we want to read it, but mostly because no one wants to slog through the tsunami of posts groaning about pre-charging for more chapters when we haven’t even got the ones we paid for last time.

bjcreek

Sentence...". The ship emerged on the outer edge of sweeping nebula". Should be "edge of a sweeping nebula".

bjcreek

Sentence..."John gripped the armrests of his Command Chair to keep himself, and fought down his rising gorge." Should be "to keep himself upright, and fought down" or whatever other descriptive term you'd like to use.

bjcreek

Sentence..."and there were no sign of". Should be "signs of".

bjcreek

“Yet you don’t see quite as terrified". Should be "seem".

TF007

And so it begins……F5…F5…F5

Great chapter

RedBuffalo

Why isn't Dana 'runing' up all Crystal Alyssium production at this point? Doesn't seem to really overexert he power, it doesn't take much time, and it makes the finished product that much stronger.

Evan

They’re look okay -> They look okay

Timothy Lucas

How much you wanna bet....that even if teffs keeps his word an gives us the second chapter he owes us......Gall dosen't die till the next chapter....and stops right in the middle of Gall,s last stand lol

Timothy Lucas

Instead we get diverted to a sub plot😔🤣

bjcreek

Good chapter. I enjoyed it, and am waiting anxiously for the next!

TF007

F5….hopefully we will have 157 tonight.

Michael56Smith

.74: Wow! a ton of early comments, mostly all Thank Yous. Last night I made a comment about expecting these chapters to drop in about 18 hours, and went to bed, ... then that sneaky ole Tef dropped TSM #156 right when my head was hitting the pillow, ... well I hope he also got some rest, ... thanks Tef! ;-) TTFN

Evan

that would distinguished it from -> that would distinguish it from OR that would have distinguished it from

TF4EVA

well worth the wait - focused, action packed and leaving me dreading the next 4 weeks of waiting for the next installment.... I am hoping fan 007's optimism for the next drop is justified because i really want to see how Tom is getting on ......

Evan

Very enjoyable chapter, Tefler! Thank you!

Michael56Smith

.75: And right out of the gate, we get a Tefler Twist! I was totally (California, sorry) expecting Faye to be brought back in a cloned Nymph body, ... great memory and computer-like compartmentalization, ... but NO, that scoundrel up and bases the 'protype' on Irillith, ... now I expect Faye to also be able to delve into cyber-space along-side her 'creator', ... and visit with Daphne and all the collective there as well. And where the heck is the Athena clone/prototype? Enjoying this chapter loads!!!! ;-) TTFN

Brian

I for one hope he does not upload CH 157 tonight. The first place my mind would go would be to wonder why it took so long to deliver 156 if it only took a few hours to complete 157 and get all the editing done. Impossible I know, then I would wonder how long he had 156 done without uploading it. Cause that would have alleviated a lot of bellyaching if say it was uploaded a week ago. So yeah, I am good with just 156 for today, maybe get 157 in a week or so.

Unresolved Plots

Maybe, because chapter 156 being the start of the war with Gahl and 157 the continuation, Tefler has been holding 156 back in case he needs to make any changes to avoid plot holes? I can understand this. It makes sense. Ch. 158 and possibly the next couple after, could all be part of this same war arc, if this war arc is as large as ch. 100.

Paul Mansur

*They’re look okay, but they wore themselves out,* should be they not they're

Glenn Hunter

Great Chapter, and Fay, Yes!

Sceptre

Wow what a rush.. Great chapter Tef!

TF007

So since Rachel used Maliri DNA as the base blue print for Faye, does that mean Fayes body will stay the same when John fills her up? If Fayes body grows into thrall body, then Rachel wasted a lot of time making her small only to get big soon after Faye is born. Just a thought 🤔

Unresolved Plots

John now knows how to manipulate DNA. If he wants Faye to be smaller, she will be smaller.

Big Orca

What is Athena? She is a psychic construct that occupies part of Alyssa’s mind. What if, John takes Athena’s “soul”, and use that as the “spark of consciousness” for Faye? As a organic creature, Faye will need to sleep. Athena can then keep her same role as John’s companion when he sleeps, but during the day, just experience life through Faye’s body.

Timothy Lucas

Normally Teff let's us know about why a chapter took so long or an ETA on the next one. Kinda odd he didn't say a word about either. 🤔

TF007

After this war there will be a lot disabled ships that won’t be flying ever again. However all these ships will have fully functional weapons that can be salvaged and there will be a lot of extra weapons (tachyon lances and cannons plus quantum flux cannons). What should they do with them all? Maybe give a few to TFED to boost morale? They could install the salvaged shield generators on Maliri ships to give them a boost plus add a couple tachyon lances to each Maliri ship would allow them to supplement captured thrall fleets.

Michael56Smith

.108: Yeah, salvaged weapons, power cores, FTL drives, shields (the Generators and the Projectors using eternity crystals), ... plus a small mountain of Progenitor Servers. power couplings, null gravity Gyroscopes, zero-point energy modulators, and the like, ... The Trankarans and some Maliri Fleets could be very much up-graded with this stuff, ... -- and the marooned Galkerian crews? return them to the Galkerian Empire? give them a Maliri or a Brimorian world? have them help bring the Abandoned into the 28th century, ... Salvage in multiple ways, ... ;-) TTFN

Paul Mansur

The ship emerged on the outer edge of sweeping nebula... it should read "outer edge of a sweeping..."

Paul Mansur

“Yet you don’t see quite as terrified as the rest of us,” should read "don't seem quite as..."

Chris

Uploading Fayes electronic brain into her organic one will be interesting, I wonder if it would be easier to use cybernetic parts similar to Shinotabe as it would be a direct electronic-electronic transfer, rather than needing a Cyber-Psychic to transfer between the two. It does mean that the Faye(Robot) effectivly enslaves Faye(Organic), however as the body is purpose built as Faye and has the instincts from Maels research any adverse affects would be minimised. Plus it would mean that Faye has two ways of joining Alyssas' Psychic Chorus, both through mental contact and using an Ashanath Psychic wrist communicator, enhanced by Dana.

TF007

So throughout the whole story John and crew have been doing psychic resistance weight training with their minds. John has been consistently pushing his mental abilities from barely able to shape CA 3 times to now doings it 35 times. With the new purified soul forge putting up so much resistance it will eventually strengthen Johns mind to were it is no problem operating it.

TF007

Edit*** Aadya brushed her fingers self-consciously through her shock of white hair ***. Change to *** her short white hair***

TF007

So how did Mael add the spark of consciousness to Trankarans, Ashanath and Terrans? I doubt Xar would let him access the deep astral to give his creations life. Plus he gave Drakkar life towards the end of his rule and didn’t have any issues with it either.

The guy is probably just relaxing with his family, after working hard near end of month. Give him a breather!

I work every day of the month. I don't feel bad for someone who by your estate only have to work 17 day and making way more then me. Just stop the place holder! I don't care about the half chapters.

John Gregory

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the crew of the Invictus boarded one of the marooned capital ships full of husked thrills, I seem to recall that progenitor ships had no security on their air locks because "who in their right mind would want to board a ship full of thrills?" According to Illerith. So why are they worried about how to get inside the dreadnought?
