Heather Bowman-Tomlinson

Braw

The ingenuous device.... SB ingenious Completely obliterate... SB completely obliterated As the other enemy fleets drop out... SB dropped Pretty accurate estimation... Could be "pretty accurate estimate" . Better American. Might not be better English Quicken his journey him along the corridor.... SB without the"him"

Something is wrong!? No 158. No 159. No new charge??? Almost midnight London time...

Tony

The worse part of getting a new chapter is finishing the new chapter. Thanks!!!

Anthony Kester

I'm glad to see that Tefler is now channeling his inner James Tiberius Kirk. What's next, is he going to channel Yoda?

Evan

Very enjoyable. Thank you, Tefler!

.28: possible typo: on Word page 16 "... Daphne and the robots of the Exchange had ...." the word 'exchange' was used in the previous sentence, ... I suspect a tired Tef, transposed 'Exchange' for 'Collective', ... or Tef has made a change that he has yet to clue us in on, ... or I forgot something, ... ;-) TTFN

Sceptre

Wow, it doesn't seem to matter what you write about. It's just good. The courtroom was just as compelling a read as the combat bridge with Irillith.

TF007

Only issue I saw was when it was mentioned of 18 fleets in first row and 18 fleets in the second row. Only 29 fleets were detected in Maliri space so it should have probably been 13and 13 for the fleets. Since 1 1/3 fleet was damaged in first attack and we don’t know how many were disabled in the second attack. It would make sense that between two ambushes 3 fleets were disabled leaving 26 fleets left.

Jedi Khan

In this bit, I believe you mean "adjourned" rather than "convened" "The court had convened for lunch, but..."

Timothy Lucas

Or was this supposed to be 158...an he hit the 7 by accident???

Jedi Khan

Hey, Tefler, you accidentally replaced the chapter 157 file with a blank 158.

bjcreek

It was 157 awhile ago. I downloaded it, and it was correct.

Vizth Hal

Tef you oopsed the 158 upload and replaced 157 with a empty file XD

bjcreek

Tefler, you may have meant "impugned" honour here: were now playfully accusing her of using psychic speed to cheat. Sakura vociferously defended her impinged honour,

Tefler

I was uploading the edited version of 157 and accidentally linked the wrong file. It should be fixed now.

Jedi Khan

So, what's going to be the miracle that saves Tom? I doubt it'll be John and the girls, as they're going to be busy for the foreseeable future and there doesn't seem to be any good reason for anyone on Tom's side to try reaching out. I'm thinking the Maliri hacker that did the work is going to step forward and reveal the fabrication, on the condition that she gets to meet John. She would probably think that a high profile case like this would get the attention of those who can contact John. Plus, with his name meaning "The Righter of Wrongs," her undoing the setup on Tom would be right in line with Bean'thalas' desires.

Michael56Smith

.65: Hey, we are discussing Tom Walker, in a NOT negative way, that's good progress, ... and some quite good courtroom scene writing there Tef, ... ;-) TTFN

Tefler

I was going to paste in the battle from chapter 158, but I haven't finished editing it yet, and there's bound to be a bunch of typos. I'll upload the battle text tomorrow when I've given it an editing pass.

Timtom

Dude are you serious.!.!.! This is getting pretty pathetic. You already gave us a half completed 157 last month. If there isn't a 158 and you precharge for 159 this month then I will be lodging a complaint with patreon over your lack of honesty. I love your story but you need to get your shit together. Tired of your excuses. You "promised" to get caught up. What is your excuse this time?

Michael56Smith

.74: I say that by the looks of the number of typos, misspellings, and just plain wrong words, more errors than he normally makes, ... it looks to me like Tef worked hard and was worn out, ... This story has grown wildly complex over the years, ... I would say to give the guy a break, and that the story is advancing, ... but the Lynch mob is a little to wound up to hear that tired old phrase, ... I plan on toughing it out, and I would be really relieved if all of the $1 Patreons that are the biggest complainers DO bail out, ... the comment section would be quieter, and civil, ... ;-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

.75: Tef has got to come to terms with his only being able to crank out 25K to 30K max on THIS very complex story nowadays, ... until then, falling behind will remain a problem, ... ;-( TTFN

"wishing that Daphne and the robots of the Exchange had emotions that she could sense" Isn't it the Collective? Or did I miss something... "at least according to their Chief Engineering Overlord" Chief Engineer or Grand Engineering Overlord I haven't found more.

Brian

Outstanding Chapter!

Big Orca

Rather than spending words on the Walker sub-plot, it would have been more intersting to see how Edrael and the Maliri leadership/fleet are being updated, and their response and planning. John has an empire of soldiers, and they have been motivated to join the war. Let see the war preparations and efforts, rather than an episode of “Suits”.

AzureReader

They way things are going with Tom Walker’s trial Tef could easily drag things out for another 5-10 chapters, by which time John and the girls will have defeated the current progenitor enemy. At that point there should be a dramatic last minute witness for the defense… a Maliri… who can demonstrate that the banking system can be hacked, and show how Tom was set up. The prosecutions ‘expert’ witness being called the leading authority in the galaxy is the perfect setup for him to be harshly corrected. My only question is will Irilith be covered in armor with opaque visor, or will John allow this to be their big reveal to Terrans!

AzureReader

I’m wondering if John interacting with some of the crew like Helene and Ailita while he was connected to the soul forge will impart some special qualities to the parts being made. A lot of people speculated that the psychic forging should be done as a team to impart special qualities to the parts. The wormhole generator having green streaks from Jade indicate that different psychic powers do have an impact. But it’s unclear how team psychic forming would happen. Or what it would do. I suggest it might take a serendipitous event like we saw in this chapter for them to make this discovery.

TF007

I see John using the soul forge as mental weight/ resistance training. By fighting to overcome the mental strain of the soul forge it’s making his mind stronger like the shroud and PJ did before. Now with the various girls spending time with him while he’s working I can see that as training as well. John has to focus on operating the soul forge while the girls try to distract him with sexual favors. Getting a blowjob while forging will strengthen his mental focus.

.101: okay, if Irillth (with Rachel's help) can take Fayes' old Data memories and successfully put them into an organic (non-Nymph) body, ... can she do it the other way around, ... Can she put Athena into a cyber/computer mind? ... and then later into an organic (Alyssa clone?) body, if she wants, ... hummm, .... '-) TTFN

Michael56Smith

.102: -- that is, if Gahl'kalgor and Tef don't wreck Mael's priceless lab first, ... '-) TTFN

jdg45

OK. Which is the correct name. Or are they different? Ch 122 Quantum Disintegrator Ch 143 and 157 Quantum Devastator

ringill

Noticed a normal/telepathic speech mismatch, *Engage his dreadnought! I’ll be there at once!” Gahl’kalgor ordered, his voice filled with an eager hunger.

Thanatos95

So if Irrilith now can bring Faye back as a real girl, does that make her the Blue Fairy? Faye was reading Pinocchio a while ago.

Kensyi

I wonder what psychic powers he will give to her?

Big Orca

Levitation and teleportation.

Kevin Murray

Banshee is good, she seems to have had an affinity with the sonic canons!

jdg45

Sadly one pay a month never catches up, unless some posts are significantly discounted. I recently changed my account to support every post. The cost is not really relevant to most of us... Unless Tefler can get a reasonable pay per chapter we may never catch up. The story is good enough to deserve a full pay each time. If people drop off as Patrons we may never get to finish TSM. Please do not let this happen!

Richard de Leeuw

nope sorry Florida Reader i disagree, due to the precharging i have dropped my contribution to the lowest it can be, because i do not appreciate this attitude

Peter Mark Bandele English

Typos as requested. '“That sounds amazing!” Helene gushed, her eyes light up with excitement.' …“Lighting up“, or maybe "lit up"

Evan

This one is still outstanding: Mael’merak s/b Mael’nerak.

RedBuffalo

I could see Faye becoming John's Matriarch of the Machines. Her powers would be all about being an AI ambassador. Just thinking through how she might differ from Irillith's hacker powers.

Michael56Smith

.142: Yeah RB, the connection between Faye and the cyber realm as well as the Collective are strong, her own memories and background, plus her body was developed from Irillith's (with her electro/cyber talents), ... so yeah, she must have some cyber abilities, ... I do want to see her first getting together with Daphne (formerly little one), and the new cleaning 'maids' in their 20x CA chassis, ... Tef will have lots to write down, ... ;-) TTFN

Mark Strom

I was impressed at the way they refit the ship then attacked. And the way he shows his love to all the girls.

Michael56Smith

.144: I have just recently visited SOL and have read all of the epic Arlene & Jeff tale (717 installments in the 3rd section, so add a few hundred more chapters for full length, wow it is quite long!) and I love a few of that series' unique sex practices, ... their 'daisy chain' is when any number of other girls physically touch the man (an Alpha) or the girl on the receiving end of a good pounding, or even some sweet loving, all those in contact feel it all/share it too, just no mess for the additional ladies to clean up. The Alpha-male needs only have sex with 3, 4 or 5 of his ladies each evening, yet all twenty some beauties are satisfied each and every night, no waiting. John could use something like that for his ever-expanding harem, (think Dana and a few of the insatiable others), ... ;-) TTFN
