To summarise:

Several real life things have come up that need to be dealt with.

The newest set of MTG has come out. That is where my little (at the moment) free time is currently going.

I also need to focus entirely on the fiction that gets me paid. I've been writing this alongside something else, but it's time to focus more on that something else in order to meet certain deadlines. Due to health struggles at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I was already behind. I really cannot put it off any further.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Updates are therefore uncertain in scheduling and frequency.

EDIT: I keep forgetting that the Royal Road and Spacebattles threads are not identical. On Spacebattles, I have roughly 16,000 words of Apocrypha (omake) and roughly 17,000 words of informational posts (i.e., posts discussing the world and how it works). I will post those up in the meantime, most likely as a separate stories to avoid cluttering up the main story. What do you think?
