[Hereafter] Chapter CLXXXI: No Place Like Home (Patreon)

Did your stomach sink at the end there?

There've been a few theories going around after the last few chapters about what and when this Singularity's deviation occurred, and some of them get kinda close at times, but some of them are way off base. A few more hints get dropped here, but there's still a lot of mystery about what's happening.

I'm not done punching you guys in the metaphorical gut. There's still a lot that Taylor has to face, too, and none of it is going to get any easier on her.

We're due for another interlude soon. I'm sorry to tell you that it won't be Jackie's - again - but only because this one has been in the works for months. I've been waiting a long time to get the chance to finish it and put it into the story proper.
