---- Update 29th April: Chapter 77 is complete! ----

Hey everyone!

I know I've kept you waiting ages for this chapter after Chapter 76, so I thought I'd give you a status update. :-)

I've written 13.5k so far, and handed over part 1 to my editors. All being well, I should have it ready for you by Sunday!

i retract my last comment.... crack ain't even this addicting lol keep it coming cant wait to see what she remembers

Wookey

Lots of other non-Progenitor storylines to work with over next 10 chapters 1. Dana's super weapon 2. How to fill primary hanger 3. Whether to upgrade Primary Hanger to allow Faye's drone fighters 4. Will Faye obtain a physical presence 5. What happens to Athena 6. Will other Maliri matriarchs seek an update to immortal 7. Kintark plus Brimorians 8. Ashanath's weapon 9. Will Maliri ships join Invictus vs Drakkar 10. Have Drakkar upgraded their ships &themselves 11. Are Drakkar organized into a fighting force other than raiding parties? 12. Why are Drakkar attacking? 13. What is happening at Terran Federation? 14. Potential Ashanath - Maliri alliance 15. What will TF do now that John is official Protector of two groups 16. Other than Progenitor expert, how will Tashana be used offensively? 17. How quickly will Mailiri Fleet upgrade be completed? Lots to think about.

Big J

I would love to see John with a mailiri fleet backing him to take on the Drakkar and the Kintark. Bring the pain lol.

xd

Maliri should make some special forces using Progen tech or special stealth ships or both. I have a felling we will see Maliri fleet with upgrades in final battle or sequel.

Wookey

A few queries for Tefler: 1. Was wondering whether those Maliri female who have not had the Maliri Hair Bleach will start dyeing their hair blonde to be seen as part of the favoured team? 2. Ditto, will those Maliri children sired by John Blake have blonde hair? Can't imagine incest/in-breeding as a way of gaining favoured status would be a viable genetic option. Or something that John would support. 3. can't remember the characteristics of Ashanath women. Are they likely to be attracted to join John's Flying Circus? Make good sense from the Ashanath High Command's viewpoint to have someone on the inside. However, not sure sure whether sexually compatible for Terrans? Am sure that is something we will find out in sections 77 - 79.

The Ashanth women may not be fascinated by John, but it appears that all of them are fascinated by the girls' "orbs" :)

Big Dude

Excellent story sir! Some plot questions. I realize you may not want to spring anything before its time! 1) Did the Invictus have external cameras that captured the external characteristics of the PG ship? 2) Will John's mother reappear? Everything you wrote in earlier chapters seems to reappear later, like Ceraden thinking about his daughters in earlier chapters. 3) Will John go back and acquire the PG weapon on the Terra moon? 4) If Alyssa and Athena merge will Alyssa be able to remold (remould) the armor (armour) at a higher level without getting headaches 5) Will Tashana's pyrokinetics be added to Dana's weaponry repertoire? Have Tashana's weapon fire fire? 6) How many rail gun shells does the Invictus have aboard and does the ship have the technology create more and self replenish? 7) How much power do the new power cores produce?

Big Dude

Stupid me, I hit enter too quickly: Back to #7, the old core had 1189% of the original core. How much more power now? 8) Will Onyxium ever be used again or just the new elements Dana created? 9) With the data crystals will Dana be able to improve the Gateway server? 10) With the sympathetic tie-in between Irillith and Tashana, will they be getting full twin telepathic capabilities?

2026-09-07 11:00 John can introduce Irilith & Tashana to ashnath high council as they know how malari women look like & explain his new status of malari. So ashnath can reveal their knowledge about progenitors to John & girls

I'd hazard a guess that the ashanath might be a little bit perturbed by the appearance of Irillith and Tashana with their blue skin and blonde hair.

2026-09-07 11:00 Rachel saw his questioning look and asked, "If Tashana doesn't mind, I was wondering if she would share this load with Dana? I'm conducting an experiment at the moment, and she's volunteered to be my test subject." what is Rachel latest experiment?

If the Ashanth were Impressed by John and company before can't wait to see their reaction now. And the poor Bolon who sees Alyssa will maybe be blinded by her "light" ?

There does seem to be a bit of inconsistency concerning John creating defensive shields. He has been doing that with the astral plane entities for some time. He has had a protective shield, with runes, for several chapters now, yet, he cannot reproduce it now for defensive purposes in the 'real' world? Seems a bit fishy to me. Perhaps it is because he is not being aided by Athena? But, not sure why that would matter at this point because he made the personal body shield all by himself. And, I am thinking runes on his defense shield would also strengthen it against attack just like the runes on his astral plane shield help him hide from those behemoths.

Another point: I am not so sure Mael is John's father due to one insight I just had: specifically, Athena is benevolent and assistive with Alyssa. It is now evident Mael would have been the same way with the spiritual assistant of John. Since John's is not so benevolent and is more like what we would expect of a regular progen, I am thinking Mael is not the BSP but BSP is actually Mael's foe who was stranded on that planet, impregnated John's mother with the intent to take over his body, and then had to do so again when John was born away from his sphere of influence. The reason he has not killed John off already is because he is curious as to why John has developed the way he has and is just bored enough to see where it goes before he destroys him.

And, that would make John his genetic equal. That would necessarily mean John would be his equal in psychic strength as well...when he is able to absorb his guide.

Wookey

One of the great things about Tefler's stories and this Patreon site is that it encourages debate as well as lots of interesting side bars. For example, StaceyB's Rule 34 story. <more please="" stacey=""></more>

Dennis Aston

I know we should have a poll for this but for you rabid fans out there (I consider myself one), how many times have you read through the entire series? Personally I have been through 3 times and am on my 4th.

As Telf likes to drop hints for future chapters..........."It's not as deep as it looks and we drained the tanks from the old pool when we repurposed the gym into the new brig". I wonder who the new brig is destined for? Chapter 76

Grimlakin

I'm surprised the brig wasn't mentioned as being extra hardened.

Wookey

How many words now Tefler?

Tefler: A thought. I remember when Irilith was dealing with the AI there were a few things that happened there that I thought might be added to the cyber defenses at the comms gateway server. First, the attacks that Nexus made on the Invictus were more like denial of service attacks with mass numbers of relatively common attack programs gaining access through the coms antennae. One of the best ways to prevent such an attack is to create a high bit (say 1024 bit—rather low for this time line since we already have 1024 bit word computers now--or even a 4,096 bit) unique to ship, fractal access code during battles that must precede all transmissions before the data packets are allowed through the coms receiver in the first place. That way the connected ships still have 2 way comms while other ships cannot penetrate/hack their signals. And since fractals are infinite in their formulations, getting the right one would be just this side of infinitely impossible. This would have the effect of the Invictus coms receiver just ignoring the attacking programs and they would just never even enter the coms network in the first place. Think of it as a keyed hexagon that opens the coms portal for the data packet holding the key to pass through into the internal comms security area for further scrutiny. And if the data packet is hostile, instantly change the fractal code and send it to the connected ships...instantly resetting the cyber defensive grid. The other issue: Nexus basically dismissed Irilith from its network by creating a purge routine. Any data packet that is seen as hostile can be immediately assigned its own purge program and booted out of the Invictus digital network while the key is reset...effectively locking them out again.

With Charles Harris being picked in the NFL draft by the Dolphins does that mean there is a vacancy at Olympus?

Question for everyone. The enshunu seem on the small amount of exposure we've had so far to be the red to maliri blue. Is it gospel that projen use females as thrall? No evidence that they had male thralls? If not then what is the enshunu overlord? Female something? The anchoin evolved? What?

Jedi Khan

So, Tefler, has anyone told you recently that your writing speed is ungodly fast? Yeah, seriously, it's like his fingers know the Hiten Mitsurgi style. You should see them fly across the keyboard. What the? Crazy, where the hell have you been? Didn't I tell you? I went on vacation. Want to hear about it? Not really... Okay, I'll tell you since you asked so nicely. First, I went to London and paid Tefler a visit. How-? I tried to help him out, give him some ideas, you know that sort of thing, but I don't think he listened to me, so I got a bit frustrated and broke the "b" key on his keyboard. Sorry about that, Tef, but I got a good look at your rig, and trust me, a broken "b" would have been the least of your worries had I even so much as tapped your case. You seriously need to get that dinosaur replaced soon. You what? So then after I watched Tefler for a while, I wandered around the world for a few days, saw the sights, did the the usual tourist stuff, then came back just this afternoon. You missed the new chapter. No I didn't. I read it over some other guy's shoulder. I think it was some guy named John F Lewis. You know that guy has a screw loose, right? I mean, more so than you do. I'm not-- I don't think he noticed I was there considering the mess in his head. Hell, he didn't even notice his hot wife giving him the come hither look while he was reading. I'm a ghost and even I noticed the look that hot piece of ass was giving him. If I had a body, I'd have tapped that in a heart beat, new chapter or not. Yeah, just gonna ignore that one completely. I got pictures. Wanna see? What? No! AHH!! Dear god, my eyes! Oh, whoops. Bathroom selfie. I think that was a truck stop in Toledo. Had a hot Tinder date there. Can't...claw...them...out.

Wookey

Thanks JK. You (& Crazy) always contribute some light relief during the 2-3 day waiting period pre-Chapter

Tefler

The Corsair Cherry MX keyboard I bought just arrived ten minutes ago. Thanks everyone who recommended a mechanical keyboard, writing on this thing feels amazing! :D

Dennis Aston

You know, what I am curious about is when is Dana going to fit the GoPro's (or whatever the year 2780 version is)? That and whenever John finally adds their embedded reporter (in bedded? Perspective I guess) Jehanna Elani should make some good interactions/reports.

IronLance

Tefler... Does Edraele have a seaside estate, maybe somewhere they can take a break on Valaden next to the ocean. Give Jade a chance to stretch her muscles again, and meet some really exciting new creatures to emulate.

Tefler

I made decent progress today and wrote another 6k words. Some of it was slow going, as I had to sketch out Dana's secrete project and come up with some new names, as well as create a sketch of the Invictus for something else I'm working on. I'm still hoping to get the chapter finished tomorrow though and handed over to the editors! All being well, it should be up on Sunday evening! :-)

Dennis Aston

I am probably alone in this thought but it would be cool to have Dana in the middle of one or more MacGyver moments. Situation hopeless, devious engineer saves the day with duck tape, Swiss army knife and creates improvised blow torch. If you need help with some practical application ideas Google "tm 31-210". Shaped charges using wine bottles, etc. No, I am not some wacko, I got interested in engineering while I was in the Army.

someone somewhere

Great work Tefler, its lovely to be able to support someone as creative and hard working as you are.

Robert P Heck

I agree with someone somewhere, Its great to know and support you. Have a great day, Tefler.

CharleyHorse

Awesome - Am really enjoying and looking forward to the next chapter. Glad to support the effort

Jared

Hey Everyone, I'm just sitting here waiting for a new chapter and doing some thinking. I've got a theory and i was interested to see if anyone could poke some holes in it... Firstly the Enshunu (probably misspelled that) are the same people that built the underworld station all those years ago, that's how they knew about the control rod. Behind their masks they are the red people the Mal'Nerak went to war with that was on the stone pictographs the Arsanth (again misspelled) showed John a while back. The reason they treat women so badly is because all the Malarai soldiers were all women and they were defeated by them and so they hate women and treat them badly because of it. It could be that they have some kind of advanced cloning technology that they have been using for a long time and as a result of the genetic degradation they are all messed up and that is why they all wear masks. If this is the case then Dana could find a way to grow/clone a body for Athena and find a way to put her consciousness inside that new body, maybe one for Faye too? What does everyone think is there anything i have missed or does anyone else have a better theory?

Jared

That's a good point, i was just rereading chapter 76 getting ready for the next on and i saw a bit of dialogue from Valada ("As you ordered, the cloning facility has been repaired and reactivated!") maybe when they fight the Drakar next they will travel to their home world/system and be able to find the old cloning facility that Mal'Nerak used to create them and use that tech to get Athena a body. From memory the Drakar don't have a government as such so it might not be too hard to infiltrate their home planet.

Tefler: I have a possible sequel idea for you. The heroine is a space faring Amazonian named Underboob. She is the creator and protector of the Milky Way. Her ship is hard to hit as it flies through space due to its hypnotic sway. It jiggles and wiggles and when close enough, emits a white cream from the nose which instantly blinds any antagonist to their impending doom. My wife was the inspiration. LOL

bigdawguw65

Jared ..The only hole I might see is that Tashana knew about the Achonin & their history before she went into the Waste Lands & doesn't make any connection between them & the Enshunu . That they( Enshunu ) may be an off shoot of Mael enemies thralls & are also hiding behind masks like the Maliri seems more likely . It would still leave them with a hatred for women , especially blue ones . If Tashana is able ,once the "Gift" kicks in ,to find the base where the cloning tanks are I would love to see John create bodies for Athena & Faye (hope she stays purple though ) ps the red males that Mael destroyed in the first pictograph were described as a pre-industrial civilization not a space traveling one .

Jedi Khan

As much as I hate to distract you from your work Tef, Crazy's got a question for you. How ya doing? *sigh* Yeah, a simple question, seemingly not all that important or relevant, but I think you can figure out what he's talking about.

Tefler

I finished chapter 77 last night and handed it over to my editors. I've just been finishing off editing of part 1, but it'll be a few days until my editors get back to me with the edits for part 2. I'm thinking I'll just post it anyway, then I'll update the new versions as I get their edits. :-)

jesse

yes. please do. now. please.
