This chapter is being published for one reason only - to let those who want more Continue Online know that the world continues! (Hah, I tried...) Want to know what happens to the world now? Want to see if life ever works out for the Legates? How AIs impact normal humans? How does Altered Reality fit into a world with digital constructs? What about more humanoid Hal Pal units? Do real people make it to Mars?
Well, some of these questions will be answered. Four stories are being drafted (Too slowly for my taste, but life is...life) that will expand the Online world, with new characters and new adventures.
Learn more about Elizabeth's absentee father, Kenneth in the next story, Fridays (Continue) Online!
After Fridays will be - in no specific order - Clockwork (A gravekeeper for the dead), Dynasty (A trustfund young man with more money than sense), Afterglow (Xin's dad, a retired cop in space, featuring the one and only Jeeves) and Raven (A summonable NPC)! All four of these will be a series of standalones tentatively titled Bastion Online. Titles subject to change to make them more cohesive.

After these I can move into the next major 5 book arc, Wayward Online.
Jesus. I just read all those planned books. I may loose my mind.
Either way, check out the next arc!
Totally a Spoiler
Wayward Online will feature Grant and Xin's child, the future replacement for Mother, and everyones favorite villian, the Jester. I wrote the opening for this and am super excited to start (It's like 40k words done out of 650k...) but I have to do these other bridging projects first!
Clockwork Dynasty Afterglow will be the same story from three stand alone points of view - should be exciting and maybe a bit beyond my skillset. Fridays preludes those tree. Raven will be a stand alone that exists seperate from the others. All will occure, timeline wise, before Wayward Online.
