Due to IRL stuff, there will only be one update next week (last week of April) and maybe only one update the week after that (first full week of May). I'll try to keep it to only one week, but I can't promise anything. We're doing stuff for a birthday, and I won't have time to write.

consistency issue: chapter fifteen has this line: "2012. Given all their talk of ‘almost five hundred years ago’, Trout had assumed it would be closer to 2319. He could almost see a primitive, 2319-era earth repelling alien invasions. They had already discovered quantum energy by then, the Granger Engine had been in use for a decade to allow humanity to get to space and start mining the asteroid belt, the first practical handheld laser weapons had just been developed…", while chapter 34 has this line: "“If it wouldn’t be much trouble,” she said, barely remembering to sound polite. Only the tiwada had person-portable laser weapons in the Confederacy, and those were basically artifact, definitely not standard issue, and were fueled by spirit stone—" what's the actual status of hand-held laser weapons?

Thanks for pointing this out.

Ok, going over my notes... tiwada come up to human knees, thighs at best. The laser weapon in question is basically the size of a laser pointer and powered by Mother's Blood. Even if the military could justify issuing QEC for it outside of missions (which is just asking for it to get sold on the black market), it's not something the tiwada are letting people have. the confederacy CAN make laser weapons, but they're specialized weapons because without QEC to power them, they need big batteries to run and you basically have to change batteries after every shot, which are heavy.
