Hope all my patrons in the United States had a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm putting the final touches on chapter 57 and should have that out probably by tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy this brief teaser glimpse of the new chapter! :-)

Holographic Design Lab. Onboard the Flighty Temptress.

“Report!” I yelled dramatically as I walked into the lab, Tyr trailing in my wake, my yell interrupting the spirited discussion taking place. Only B’Elanna, I was happy to note, rolled her eyes dramatically, but I could see a hint of fondness in her eyes. My boyish charms were finally working!

All my people, living and digital (with the exception of Dr. Lanning who was a bit of a loner and someone who had zero interest in working on weapons), surrounded the large, spherical weapon drone floating holographically in the middle of the room, each person using their omnitools in various ways. The drone design being projected appeared very similar to the drone design I had created in the Walking Dead universe, but scaled up massively, and colored black to better blend in with the dark of space. Just like those weapon drones, it had powerful ion thrusters at the ‘back’ of the unit and dual, independently targetable, weapon turrets that extended from the sides that could fire forward or backward. These weapons could fire everything from phaser, to disrupter, to forced plasma beam, to my own unique brand of energy weapon.

Unlike the Walking Dead universe weapon drone, though, it was about the size of a runabout class shuttle.
