"My uncle would always complain that admiral's quarters on bigger ships were too lavish for his tastes," Silgvani mused as she entered the decorated room, still getting supported by the doctor. Once inside, the soldier who had led them here bowed and left them alone.
"I'm fine again, Doctor...

The sound of her steps on the metal floor echoed through the empty hallway of the Star Treader, as Doctor Githaiy made her way towards the medical bay. They were about to reach the final hyperlane of their journey, and she had hoped to get a night's worth of sleep before they arrived at ...

"Jump completed, Admiral."
"Confirm targets! Battle stations, fire at will!" Mirtan shouted. This first step had to go fast. And while the Unifier was a carrier, it wasn't exactly lacking in terms of guns. However, the answer he received through the speaker wasn't what he had expec...

The tension on board was almost tangible. After half a day past the hyperlane, Githaiy had decided to retreat to the medical bay. There already were more than enough pairs of eyes drilling metaphorical holes into the backs of the poor pilots, who themselves couldn't do more than fly full speed ah...

Kykla looked around. Nothing. Just as always. From behind the glass, she could see into the opposing row of cells, but no one was there. Not that she expected there to be, it had primarily been an act of boredom. Besides praying, it was more or less the only thing she could do down here.

Silgvani leaned back as she watched the servants disassemble their temporary desks in her quarters. They were finally done with the… “crunch time”, as Nadine had called it. Her work wasn’t done by any means, but the rest she could manage by herself, even if her capacity was still reduced....

“Doc,” the soft voice of the alien girl addressed Githaiy. “I told you about the role alcohol – sorry, ethanol – has in human society, yes?”
“You did,” the doctor affirmed, currently writing down the results of her examination. The princess's health was steadily getting bett...

With a sound of relief, Silgvani sank into the soft chair in her room. Even if it had gone over comparatively quickly considering how politically charged this case was, it had still been quite exhausting for her. Her recovery wasn’t nearly at the point she would’ve liked, but she knew that wa...

The light coming off of the nearby twin star formation dimly illuminated the left half of Krndl’s face, as she leisurely sat in her chair in captain’s quarter. One of the few places on the Hunter where she wasn’t one step away from an anxiety attack. The Hunter was a light...

For the record, "earlier on Patreon" was not supposed to mean, "the normal time now on Patreon and on Reddit even later than usual". The last week was unfortunately pretty stressful, I'll do my best to have the next one done sooner!
I'll also upload the rest of book 2 just so t...
